I am 60 this year but three years ago left the Motor Trade, hours were getting ridiculous, 50 -70 hours a week and the Toll on your body ridiculous, I am still in a physical job but four on four off shift 35 hour week and feel much better for it, the body has time to recover and cars are now back to a hobby not a chore.

hahaha... what is this ? old codgers reunited.

Yep, same as you Mart, 64 this year and actually stepped away full time.
For sure the work was great but the 4000 mile a month driving, 50 hour week, plus the unusual workplace protocols meant that its was time.

Result is that now I can get back on the tools and get the e30 on the road again.
