AKA General Dogsbody
(photo from c1997, you think I'm mad enough to put an up to date one up?).
Having worked on classic cars since he was 16, Ged's ambition to be an RAF Pilot came to a harsh end with a broken back at age 18, so after a stint at engineering, he put himself through college for his mechanical qualifications at aged 21. Now well over twice that age, he's realising that the body hasn't stood up well to years of abuse so tends to divide his time between the workshop and his office.
