VIEWING WINDOW
What was your first job? I would have been at a British Leyland garage so I would say it was probably something like a Mini service.
What was on your last job sheet? I don't get my hands too dirty any more, those days are long gone and I'm usually in the office now. Thinking back though, it would have been some time ago but it was probably an MOT.
What's the best car you worked on? The best car I've worked on I suppose is a Ferrari Testarossa. The quality of the car is just at another level. That’s going back about 20 years now but we used to service it.
And the worst car? It has got to be an MGB V8,
