first off, im new here so hello, im sean aka (howie)

ive been in the mechanics since school and became a recovery driver… after 5 years service ive had enough of the grease,the weather, this kids in back of the wagon etc…

i done my 7.5 tonne test then class 2 onto my class 1, after applying for about 50 jobs in 3 months i got my lucky break, jon sparks gave me a job so after the awkward resignation im doing my final bit…

any advice on the general job would be much appreciated, and any sparks drivers here?
