I am a Autolocksmith by trade, I only do trade work for bodyshops and Insurance companies. We mainly do stolen vehicles, supply, fit and program locksets and vehicle programming when they have had various ecu's replaced due to accident damage or theft.
We are mega busy all the time, my day to day driver is a M-Sport Transit which is converted to a mobile workshop and my weekend drive is a 2016 T6 T32.
Really enjoy the van life, camping ,biking and walking the white nutter of a boxer dog.

Cheers

I loved the Westerns (Class 52 locomotives to the uninitiated, all withdrawn by 1978), but that’s showing my age.

I’m now retired after 40 years as a railway engineer, firstly in civils, with the last 20 working on railway safety systems and system safety.

They were a little before my time @Martinf . I'd reached the dizzy age of 3 by 1978.

Although my very first drive hauling fair paying passengers was with this er....petrol powered Western, when it was at Audley End. Must have been about 12 or 13, when the very very very very nice man let me drive it the mile and a quarter round the grounds. Dog with two tales that week.
