    yeah I know what you mean.
    I thought about starting in a "lower" custom shop, but I don't know a lot of them because I don't live in the U.S and so it is difficult to know the not so well known shops and I don't want to end up doing paint jobs on stolen cars in Detroit.
    But think you are right. Lets see what happens and don't stop helping me or giving good advices. Thank you so far.

    Oh forgot to ask what you meant with this sentence: "and having a German trainee might add to the flavor of the show." Sry if I don't understand everything but I think for someeone who doesn't speak english in his every day live it's more than enough, I think. I speak english in my english lessons only.

    Here is what I meant by that. I don't know if you get this show in Germany, but if you have seen it you have probably noticed a lot of the Hollywood influence on the show. They put some employees in there for effect, I think, to dress up the show and add some comedy and "color" to the show. A perfect example is that dummy Boo Bear (sp) and some of the antics of the black guy. I would like the show a whole lot more if it was done without all of that drama, but the Producers seem to know what the viewing public likes, so they inject this kind of stuff.

    Another example is the lame telephone calls they make to the car owners on Overhaulin', pretending to be cops and stuff. I go for a beer when those segments come on.

    So, I thought if they hired some German trainee, it would add some interest, or "flavor" to the plots. BTW, you will have no problem with language, you English is remarkably good. Many of my customers are German, and you communicate much better than most of them.

    thank you =)
    german customers?? Where do you work or in which company?
    so now I know what you meant...I don't recieve overhaulin' but rides or monster garage are getting popular in Germany, though they are shown on a not so popular channel. I chose Foose because I like the design of the cars and if I hadn't this idea for my future I would study product/industrial design but in a big company you cannot be so creative.That's why I had the idea of working in such a company like Foose or etc.
    A show which everyone knows is MTV Pimp my Ride but this show is definetly bullshit.
    I don't want to tell you that it's really a pleasure to talk with you.
