At night I'm a 86 owner, by day I am...

Hey,

I thought it might be interesting to share a bit about what we do in our lives, besides owning, driving and caring for our cars. Smile

Maybe there's alot of people with other common interests, besides the dear old AE.

So, i'll go first; Formally i study architecture, which is my prior interest, but also like psychology and the relation between the two. On the other hand i'm interested in "introspective" sciences (esoteric/esp/conscious-unconscious levels etc..) and practice different forms of meditation. Smile

Such variety....

I am soon starting my last year in my master studies in engineering. I study at tkk in Finland www.tkk.fi

I also work as a CAD manager/specialist for a company that makes permanent access solutions www.rostek.fi We make different kind of gantries, ladders and baskets but also sell the tracklines. So if you see a house with a alot of windows there is a big chance it has our products. 90% of our production goes worldwide, we sell to every part of the world except north america.

I drive a 2004 VW Golf with a 1.6l FSI, have to live with thisone untill I find a real car, probably gona end up with a RX-7 or an AE86. Only problem is that there are no places to build cars in, in the Helsinki region. If you find some place, it usually is 15m^2 for 350e/month and you have to stay quiet, so thats the biggest holdup at the moment.

heh robo

we ordered a full truck from ikea last year and another truck full of stuff is comming soon. We love it. I think IKEA has great system, which makes all this even possible @ the rate that consumers demand. So therefore thanks to you and others who planned it that way Very Happy
