I was wondering what are your professions? Maybe we could use our knowledge to help each other out for forum advice if needs be?
I’m a development engineer working in the automotive industry. We make the rubber seals that go around your doors, boot and bonnet etc. Its my job to productionise new busines, and I’m currently working on the Nissan Micra convertible and the Nissan Almera models.
So yes, I’m into rubber and can advise on rubbery things!
I assume Speedys a nurse and Deltic is a train driver.
Be seen and be Safe!

Have worked in textiles, horse racing, plastic injection moulding (car industry – Rover and Honda), office work, plastics and in mould labelling (food industry), and er…..contraceptives,[]to name a few LOL! Not necessarily in that order LOL!
LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vacuum in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, there goes another engine!

Take it easy out there
May 14, 2005 at 8:53 pm #27101imperialdataKeymasterI did 20 years in automotive engineering starting with a 5 year apprenticeship then doing mechanical and electrical maintenance and then moving on to electronics, robotics/cnc stuff. I then took a career change and did a project management job, managed a CAD department then managed an IT department. Now I’m self-employed with 2 businesses: Electrical (domestic stuff mainly like rewiring) and Computer Data Recovery (virus removal and recovering all the files you didn’t back up before your PC crashed!). Got fed up of working for someone else (know the feeling?) and reckon it’s the best move I’ve ever made.
Oh and I run a bike forum on the Web. They are a friendly bunch but they ask too many questions……[]

May 14, 2005 at 11:36 pm #27103katanaParticipantI’m an Engineer (Mechanical/Production). Started off in automotive (Diesel pumps and injectors) but got fed with crap money and endless rounds of redundances. So went to work for a company that made home improvement products (double glasing, showers, boilers, garage doors, electrical sockets etc) looking after the supplier quality. Now I am a Quality Manager for a consumer goods company.
