Actually got myself a job from uni! Bring on 1st wages!

Post by youde4 »

Hi all,

After finishing uni last summer and being mostly unemployed and getting nowhere with a degree related job I have finally found somewhere!

I've had to up and leave my old life behind and move to the big smoke but I am now the new picture editor at Autocar! Not exactly what I wanted to do but a great start to get my foot in the door!

And finally I will have a ok wage to start spending on the Syncro!

Not many green lanes here in Teddington though

Recalling Clive's comment about the growing "Surrey Chapter" of syncronauts in the AGM report, we should have some Hells Angel-style shirts done Who's going to be the Padre?
Well done on the employment youde4 BTW

Didn't Autocar do an article on the Syncro originally... ?

Or was that competitor mag...

Sure you can keep dropping big hints

Thanks Andrew, I should have a copy of that somewhere then, or a scanned image.

I haven't had any luck with finding any articles, although I have come across aload of images, mostly of the carat wbx6 and a few syncro ones.
There all black and white unfortunately. I picked out about 20 and scanned them in but was wandering whats the best way of putting them up on here? there all slightly too big to upload straight on the forum and at this moment in time I cant be assed to reduce them in size etc,
