A word of warning. My niece wanted to be a vet, she thought putting animals to sleep may be fun?!
Any way she's now a dentist, so if you live in Manchester she could be yours!!
Perhaps I should say she was very young in the vet days and is now an excellent dentist (Masters Degree).

Dear Agony Aunt
I'm married to a Vet who has only ever driven an Austin 7 in Press-On mode at the Simola Hillclimb 2 years ago, she has however hinted rather strongly about driving the new supercharged single seater at the next hill climb...
She ran the bearings in the green car, now do I let her run the new supercharged blue car or err on the side of caution ??
Worried Husband
P.s She castrates for a living

RE: Young blood... - JonE - 28-06-2020
how did she view the running of the bearings at the time?
RE: Young blood... - Renaud - 28-06-2020
Ball (s) bearings?

As you can see, the red mist descended & she was in full Press-On mode... it was only the second time she had ever driven an Austin 7 and she did very well.
Aye
