What do you do for work?

[Bucknaked]

Lazy, good for nothing Commonwealth Public Servant. I won't say which department, but I've worked in the same department since 94 and have work in most areas of the business and IT.

[bungarra]

Account Manager involved in specialty chemicals for the mining, oil and gas and water industries.

[EgoFG]

When I was a little boy I was a computer programmer.

[HVAC PRO]

Aircon/refrigeration mechanic 10 years mix of commercial,industrial and domestic work

love working on my cars and usually service them unless I'm too busy or there under warranty then the mechanic gets a turn.

[phantom_87]

Well I'm a truck driver. Just do local around Brisbane.
I try and do as much as I possibly can on my car except engine and gearbox work.

[Iggypoppin']

Kitchen hand at Spargos. I don't own a car but when I had the XR6 I paid to have it serviced but did things like the brakes and suspension myself. I'm pretty thrifty so I try not to pay others to do things I can do cheaper.

[sneaky]

linesman on powerlines

as for working on cars, i'll give most things a crack (servicing, change brakes, etc). my brother is a mechanic so if i'm trying something new i'll ask him first if i should be able to do it, and how much i can balls it if i do it wrong

[boss54]

That is awesome! Never been on a tug, lucky you.

I'm the Executive Manager for an Association. Don't do much on the cars anymore as I just don't get the time.

[SSD-85]

Im a Vehicle Trimmer.

Work on my cars is performed by me based on the right balance of the following:

- Money
- Time
- Enthusiasm

Strangely enough, time seems to be the only thing out of balance these days.

I'm a doctor - I get paid to tell people things that they already know. I'm not sure why they keep coming to see me.

Working on my car is a hobby.

I try to do as much as I can and learn as much as I can along the way.
