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.
