That's that then.

Well, I know longer belong to Buckinghamshire fire and rescue service, I finished at midnight last night (1/1/15) after 25 years service as a community fire fighter.

I made many friends and learned many skills in my years, I also saw many other FF's come and go in that time.
My Tuesday nights will be my own again (unless Mrs bobby has plans), I will be able to have a bath and relax, have a drink at night if i want to.
I will miss it, but decided that 25 years was a good number to leave at.
Cheers :beer:

I didn't think I would be in the service for so long, but the time just flew by, No retention Pete, I gave my 1 months notice and that's it mate. :)

I'm sure you'll love the extra time on your hands

[AlexD333]

If you need any advise or parts for the MR2 let me know. My mums partner is the boss of MR2s

I bought my one from him when he had 3.

Let me post a pic

[AlexD333]

Can't argue with this, custom spoiler, custom rear window, custom paint job, you get the idea, the interior is single seat and a mega sound system :cool:

[AlexD333]

I looked in the window and the car went mental at me :lol

Cheers dude, I went from this to a frontera, to a honda accord tourer, to a terrano :D

I would never go back, however the MR2 will always be in my heart, if I could own and tax both I would, they are some serious motor!!! Like no other!!!

Rear engine with rear drive, hard to hold if it kicks :sly

[Sweety]

Paul on here has had some very tasty imported MR2 turbo's with full jap body kits & mods:thumbs

[firebobby]

Cheers Bob.

Ooooh, your gonna love it, it grips and grips and grips some more :sly

When it lets go though, it really let's go :lol

If you have the skill though you can master the drift :naughty

I remember in second gear in the wet, 20mph turning into a junction and doing a 540 degree spin :lol

The chap behind looked a bit bewildered.
