hello

[simong]

Hi I'm simon, I'm married with 2 kids and a dog, I'm a mechanic for the main part but also a welder,electrician, electronics engineer, paint refinisher, I'm into sea fishing, music, stupidly fast cars, and most blokey things really

I'm currently converting a mk5 lwb hi roof transit to a camper, only had the van 5-6 weeks and already got most of the conversion done(have alot of time on my hands at the min) just got a few things to do then she'll be ready for trips away

I'm down to earth, say it as I see it type of thing, get on with most people and enjoy a good laugh.




cheers

one of the reasons I wanted to do a self build, we do a lot of hill walking, and a cuppa is always welcomed after 4-5 hours up a mountain

hi and welcome
any pics of the build

loads of pics, but might be a little boring looking at so many , I'm in the process of doing a blog of the build, saves me cluttering up forums

I too have just finished a spell agency driving... Doncaster to Inverness..left at 2. pm ...got home at 5.15 am ..after the end user had been promised something that it appeared I delivered that didnt match expectations ( like a sunroof missing !!)

I then get told I am being paid 12 hours ..cos that is how the job was quoted.

Not my problem I said, not a route planner anywhere on the net that even suggests the journey can be completed round robin in 12 hours !!!

So told em to shove it where the sun shines least !!!!

It does make you wonder why bother to earn a living ...!!! Better off sponging off the system. thakfully my conscience wont allow me

Hi Paol, I had a look last night at the thread and we're very tempted to make the trip down, possibly for the week though, as it's a little far for just a weekend,I'll also be able to indulge my other passion of sea fishing at the same time as I had a look on google maps of the area, and I'm never too far from my spanners lol

I never turn down a offer of a little bit of lead chucking, and once the van's done I won't mind going further afield in the search of a fishy or 2

Well coz I am a combination of stoopid and English, And obviously have some underlying fetish to freeze my bits and bobs off on a beach, Up for a session !!

I always set off with the fanciful idea of cooking my catch with this that and the other ...recipe is always spoilt by lack of procuring the main ingredient

That said I caught 3 mackerel once in Gairloch, and the hassle that ensued you wouldnt believe!!! .....one of those how do you think the fishys end up in Morrison moments !!!
