What is your trade

[Marc van Aalderen]

Well, I grew up in a Garage. Running around in overalls at the age of 4. After high school I studied Mechanical Engineering. My father then went in the transmission business, repairing and rebuilding automatic and manual transmissions. I joined the company after graduating as a mechanical engineer. Took over the company when my dad retired and after 15 years sold it to a competitor as I'd had enough from our government, my 8 employees and lots of stress. Took a job with the buyer of my company. Started a new company for them in rebuilding valve bodies for automatics. Still enjoying my job a lot.
Been collecting fire arms and military stuff since my teens. Started with vehicles some 15 years ago. Collection keeps growing, latest vehicle purchased is a Daimler Armoured Car for restoration.
Married to a lovely wife and we have two beautiful daughters, aged 19 and 14. Life is good
