On the Move

Well, after eight months of study, 15 exams and a two week flying course, I have been offered a job that takes me from this.
To this.
There is of course a downside and that's Aberdeen! Only joking, from what I've been told its a very good place to live.
So for you current Aberdeen'ers, watch out as my Fire Breathing X6 will be gracing your streets in the near future.
In the meantime, I have a couple of months notice to work and a list as long as my arm of jobs to be completed before starting the conversion course in June. Happy days ahead.

Congrats Don,
I know how much this means to you.
Better still, it means you can carry more of us to meets. I mean, Aberdeen is a little far away so you could come down as far as say.....Luton.....and collect us. :pokey:
Nice ride though, even though the fuel consumption would scare even 4.8is owners.

Cheers, seemed a long way off at times, so glad all the time effort and money has paid off. I could either collect a load of X'ers, or just under sling my beast down to the meet.

As the guy in the photo is slim, handsome and talented, I would have to yes.........but the truth is, it is not. I'm not one for photos so had to rely on google.

Maybe? Aberdeen FC have shown an interest in mine as it matches the team colours.
