What were Trders doing before they became Traders

[SPG]

I was just sitting on the forums and flicking through the Traders section and wondered to myself, What were traders doing before they became traders??? And what Spurred them to make the transition (£££) aside.

[Stonkin]

Learning their trade, at a guess

Hoarding.

Waiting for the letter 'a'?

Ah...that mythical beast - the letter 'a'

[dude]

When I joined the forum there was no trader section per say, I was a trader from almost day 1, we just made available what we did and it went from there.

very good, but if someone fixes it, your joke will be somewhat lost

I thought perhaps some came from non automotive backgrounds, like Jurgen I'm sure use to be a Surveyor of sorts

this is what i did..

 

17-19 worked as an apprentice electrician and on saturdays i would fool around in my nova -tuning it by sticking on 4 inch tailpipes and stickers lol..

 

19-23 i worked as a cnc miller and got my nvqs in it building pratt and whitney and rolls royce engines...- i also just started my interest in jap cars around 21..again fooling around on sats with jap cars now..

 

23-26 i was an asbestos surveyor with the same company above - i did jm-imports and worked 2 jobs full time for the first 4 years of jm-imports..

 

am now 31 and the last 4 years i have been full time and only with jm-imports..(still feels like 2 jobs and i have learned even more stuff - wish i knew all i do now when i was 18)..

 

i guess time is were you get experience and hands on work..

 

but you learn everyday still and am sure thats for every trade ..
