I've been offered an interview at a local garage which restores and fixes classic cars!

Can't believe I have a chance of doing something I actually have a passion for!

Congrats! You have much to look forward too - tips for the wise, stay out of arms length of the technician, lefty loosey - righty tighty, if they send you for spark plugs for that new diesel engine you've peed someone off!

Can I wish you the very best of luck with this. It'll be simply great and you'll be learning to do something you love.
My Grandson, Cooperkid, is an apprentice at a Rolls-Bentley dealer and restoration specialist. He sure does some interesting work including work on a 1912 Silver Ghost and a 1929 Bentley le Mans car.
He even got to drive about 15 miles in a brand new Phantom Convertable with 600 bhp and was working on a Cessna aeroplane which the boss owns last week..

Sounds like your grandson has something great going on for him! I'd love to drive a Phantom convertible!

So would I. The only Roller I've driven was a Silver Shadow which my wife used to own (12 mpg on a good day). Before that I used to think that Rollers were driven slowly because they were driven by 'poseurs' and old men - now I know they are driven slowly because they are unsafe at speed! I think (hope) they have improved both road-holding & handling since the Silver Shadow.
