IT WAS a real pleasure to watch the finals of Top Technician 2009 amid the garage luxury of the Jaguar Land Rover Academy.

The 12 guys in the final were a real credit to their profession but what impressed me was not just how much effort they put into learning about the latest technology but how much they actually enjoy it too!

For many of the guys, getting together to put their skills to the test is a chance to swap war stories, repair ideas and have a good laugh.

In fact, it's enjoying their work and taking pride in their ability that's helped get them to the finals in the first place. Anyone who reckons the motor trade needs a bit of fixing needs to see theses guys in action.

On a separate note, things are changing at a rapid rate in the aftermarket. The economic troubles are bringing about changes, new ideas and fresh opportunities.

When the brakes do come off the nation's finances, those that have adapted and changed in preparation will be in a great position to surge even further ahead of the competition than ever before.

Happy reading!
