its interesting the wide variety in peoples background yet to still have the common interest in VW. would be interested to know what people's occupation is and brief description of job roles etc (if they aren't obvious)

i am an instrument electrical technician, work for a petrochemical company. i work on process control equipment like temperature,flow, pressure and level control and gas/liquid chromatography as well as electric motors and PLC control etc.
no background in cars.

I own and run a furniture shop in Caringbah SYD
been in the furniture industry for approx 12 years
mainly lounges bedding and custom made cabinets etc allways been a vw lover, but im not much of a mechanic ,or have mates in the industry which sux big time but i pursue with it anyway

IM a personal carer, i work i n an aged care facility and look after all our oldies.

mind you i would much rather be working with animals

with out this sound like it comes across wrong... *treads carefully and with an honest, sincere smile* judy and danielle, would seem like you are both working on the inside track to hunt down those old and much cherished vw's... .

i used to be in retail. was showroom/sales manager for upmarket appliance store in dydney. am now just trying to enjoy the quiet life in the country. but with the vw habbit and the ongoing desire to accumulate, the lady is making do a little part time stuff to cover regos and aquisitions...

I am in the army and have been for 3 1/2 years and spend my days packing parachutes and jumping out of planes.
before this i worked mainly in hospitality on the sunshine coast.
Here is a pic of me in "the office".

lol definatly with you there Judy. Iv done a fair bit of babysitting (one boy with downs syndrome as well) and as much as i love working with people Im ready for another job in a different field. it isnt really the job i do i think its more the people i work for (im sure you know what its like judy)

so what do others do

I spend every day on a golf course!
Not playing though stupid game that. Usually a very relaxed job Im a Turf grass manager! Truth is the last 18 months have been relentless as a full course reconstruction has been undertaken at the cost of around $8 Million , we finish in a few weeks and I hope get back to normal. More time for the kids surfing and VWs .
