Congratulations, however, that’s information that you should share only with trusted friends and your local Porsche dealer. :hihi: Just wondering, how do I get my sixteen-month old boy interested in becoming a Dentist? I keep telling him that he’s banned from trucks or anything to do with road transport, but I think I’m fighting a loosing battle. :

Cheers, Danny

Am in food - aged care. So much fun : Why did I do this. Am going back to school next year to do VET Auto, then get into Auto transmissions, or poss, stereo install, or maybe even panel...
Maybe I should just open my own workshop with the other half.
