Nothing anonymous about it, we all know who we are  Incidentally, even if we wanted to, we couldn't hide anything in this place, as soon as you walk through the front door there are lampses everywhere

I think I said something on here before but can't be bothered to check. My friends (the ones at school) have no idea that I collect lighting. They know me as that dark, depressed, mechanic, petrol-head and Initial D fan. My real mates know all about lighting as that is where I met them. Since we have plenty of similar interests I have gotten to know them better and they seem like top blokes. If anyone mentions it I just say they are shed decorations like the massive collection of old number plates I collect just to try and cover the entire shed wall with  . I don't go parading it around, I keep it more low profile so those who find out are the ones who see it.

When I'm there we just keep to mechanics, 4x4 and sports, its a nice little place, get on well with them. Bloke about my age that works there sent me a video of a clutch that had literally exploded as he knew that's exactly what I want to see
