Hey Swanny - don't worry mate, they make fantastic transporters for tools etc.

Thrashed mine back and forth to Wales for three years converting an old barn down there. My favourite comment was from a carpenter working with me on my kitchen; As I hauled a big box of something out of the back: "Hey Boyo, that has to be the fastest builders van in all of Wales!"

They are fantastic workhorses - load them to the roof with all kinds of junk - and still you can eat Porkers for breakfast!

You wil have noticed a preponderance of owners associated with the oil and gas industry.

We are all making the sacrifice of owning a thirsty RS6 to help the oil industry along and having fun doing it!

It's a vehicle of many professions. It swallows all of my gear for data stop orders, injunctions or search n' seizures. Rumbling into the defendants corporate car park pokerfaced is always a very special moment. I'd love to know what's going through their minds when Darth grumbles in to a stop.

It's corporate work, not criminal work... although some of my peers do stumble across the odd porn stash and they data mine those rich seams of porn with impunity.
I heard of a guy that investigated a trader recently, who had an inexplicable amount of premium (mostly HD) pornsite accounts, the downloaded material was spread across multiple devices. It came as shock to many but for some reason there was a lot of interest in this guy's non-relevant data 'evidence'. Copies were requested by both the defendants and the claimants. Each collective copy took up a brand spanking new 3Tb drive :shock:

Quite a range of very interesting professions! I'm a composer/producer mainly writing music for TV, though I did complete an Automotive engineering degree with a view to getting into F1 design. I quickly realised that I just wanted to drive cars very quickly, not design them though, hehehe! A few of of my old friends persevered and are in F1 design now. Think I prefer designing music!
