There's a thread on AussieV8.com.au where all of the tradespeople etc have posted what they do, so that other forumers have a 'skill database' that they can get onto if they need something done in a certain field, not necessarily automotive. I thought that it could work pretty well here.

Keep this strictly to what we do, if we could... And I know how much we all hate templates, but if they can all look a little bit like this then it would be easier. -

I haven't really got much to offer, unless someone in Adelaide wants fresh pacific oysters... A shitload better than any you'll find in any fish shops, and a shitload cheaper as well...
