This is of little interest to 99%* 100%** of you, but, after 8 years of soul sucking, repetitive labour, doing a job that sounds cool in theory but is actually dull and all kinds of rubbish practice, I handed in my notice of resignation today!

For the 0% interested, I'm technically going to be self-employed (steady work lined up), and I'm very happy. So if you speak to me on TS and think I sound a little more perky than usual, that's why. I'll do my best to remain moody and sarcastic, so as not to freak anyone out.

Congrats. If your happy then

If you're happy, we are

Are you pimping women and taking 75% of their earnings? If not, why not?

Damn forum moderators. I call shenanigans!

Pimping has always been more of a side project, Jiggy. A hobby, if you will.

What was your job in the first place?

Grats beags dont you have too much fun now

What was your job in the first place?

powelly999

I work(ed) for this place making roll cages.

Haha they make rollcages built on jigs. I guess jiggys been getting around.

Never seen a single ad or link from them in the car modifying circle ... you're probably better off making them yourself under your own company name for custom cars - I run my own car owners club (top in the UK for it's make and model based on net searches) ... but that's off subject slightly - what I'm saying that is I know how hard it is to get into a custom community, but once you're settled, you're sorted

They don't really do that many custom cars, but they are the biggest roll cage manufacturer in the UK. Technically, Safety Devices are bigger, but equally technically, they moved production to Poland after nearly going out of business.

What exactly will you be doing now?

The CFUK Podcast is my job now!

Also, I might the occasional automatic transmission on the side

wooo cfuk podcast

Really make roll cages though? how busy were you working there? And what was the company if you dont mind me asking?

Protection & Performance Ltd. They're busy enough. I made five or six cages a week on average, and mainly only do Land Rover cages.

ahhh kk i thought you ment fully comp vehicle roll cages
ok nvm

So im guessing you just did the bending of the bars to make up the roll cage then? or weld it all together aswell. or both

they do fully comp cages, it just happens that I mainly did land rover cages, comp and expedition. Bending and welding. Two cages I made ended up on TV

Sounds like a good skill ... wonder how much a custom rollcage for my project car would cost???

depends on the car and the thickness on material really im guessing.

Sounds like a good job for a while but i dont blame ya for getting out of it in the long run beagrie
