Getting a job in the UK
I'm kinda keen to move europe and start living there from Australia, so I'm thinking that the UK is probably the best place to start, what is the job market like in the uk? my experience is in the retail after market parts automotive sector. Are there many car part shops over there?

The aftermarket over here is pretty shocking, at teh moment its becoming more and more popular to wack a huge fibreglass wing and neons on your rusty nova and go cruising through the mcdonalds drive thru!
Unfortunately the majority of prospective customers have very little tase, or intelligence, i like to think ive 'tastefully' modified my car but the majority are just shocking!!!!!
Unless you managed to get in with a good tuning contact (there are some good ones about A1 rallysport, severn valley motorsport, Power engineering uxbridge) i think other than setting up your own buisness you'd end up in halfords rippspeed (saturday afternoon boy racer hang out) on fuck all money  !!
What kinda experience have you got? And in what field of modification?
