Hey man, chill out. If you took the trouble to read Bob's web page
(http://www.iconn.net/bobsauto/) you might have different opinion.
He was not trying to promote his shop, merely looking for something
related to british cars. If you don't like his terms just ignore the
post.
As for lawyers being on the list - big f***in' deal. What do you think
they, you, or anyone else for that matter can do about anybody posting
anything?!?

Bob, you're not looking for an apprentice, or a mechanic--you're
looking
for a slave at his own expense. I've worked in a lot of shops,
have a
hell of an education and tons of experience which I learned on
my own,
and on the terms you described above, would never work for you
in a
dozen lifetimes. People transported from England to America and
Australia in indentured servitude for crimes committed in GB had
better
terms than those you offer. You expect someone to pay to work
for you?
What unmitigated gall! You have offered no substantial
credentials
whatsoever, and have not stated in detail the advantages of an
association with you. Funny, you don't even mention the name of
your
shop, except in your address (Bob's Auto??? You've got to be
kidding....). You're a fraud--if you cheat your customers to
half the
degree you cheat your employees, I have one thing to say to
you--others
here may think differently, but to my mind, you and your
sweatshop
advertisements are not welcome here. Keep in mind that there are
lawyers
on this list... your employees may be seeking their advice not
for
Triumphs, but for discrimination lawsuits. Stay away from
customers,
employees and this list. Period. Plainly, and with apologies to
all
other hobbyists on this list, fuck you, dumb and self-interested
asshole.

No, thank you, Bob Wantabe.
