[Maxwell]

right peeps

basically i applied for a job in france, doing what i do, which is building aeroplanes and i got it:fcuk::fcuk:

i will be going to cardiff for a 2 week training course then heading out to work for airbus in toulouse!!

i was gonna take my vts out, but its an 8 hour drive from cherbourg to toulouse and tbh i cant travel that far lol

so with my ridiculously massive first pay check, im gonna buy a motor.

was thinking automatically of a lhd phase 2 vts in white....to match mine, but reckon it would be ghey lol

any other ideas!!????

preferably sporty and petrol!!!

[Maxwell]

[d4r3n]

[SaxoJamie]

Well done mate for getting the job:y: If it was me though the sax would be coming with me:p

[Josh_24]

no take it back home mate she needs to be reunited with french soil

[Maxwell]

bastard well done.

I'd do anything to work for Airbus.

lol they are the worlds largest aircraft company, followed by Boeing in 2nd.

who i work for currently, Bombardier Aerospace - Shorts, are the 3rd largest, and we currently do work for boeing and airbus!

It is said, if you do your apprencticeship, with Bombardier Aerospace - Shorts, you are getting the best, cos if u trace their roots, they bought over Short Bros PLC in 1989....and Shorts were the 1st aircraft producers (wright brothers contracted shorts to build 6 wright flyers - the 1st aircraft)

so technically, because im an ex Bombardier - Shorts, apprentice, they are getting one of the many best trained aircraft engineers in the world:P:P

[Maxwell]

a grand a weeek thats a nice budget lol take sax with you

well to be precise, its like £1475 a week, but by the time you pay accomodation, french tax, food + drink etc...its like £1100 a week in ur hand!!

[Amiee]

Well done mate!!!

Dunto what to advise on the car situation but good luck with the job lol

[Maxwell]
