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 have always liked old cars, I have a long term project Triumph GT6 and have just got a Toyota MR2 MK2 which is now ready for the road again,
So we will be and about a lot more, here is the MR2 which I picked up as an MOT failure

I used to love the old Gt 6.

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.

Congrats mate :thumbs

That's a hell of a stretch!!

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

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

 

[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

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
