Hi Guys.

I've had an account for ages just haven't used it. I'm a Brit living in Central Finland. I've lived here for 5 years now. Currently I'm an Assistant manager for a contracting firm in Jyväskylä. We focus on snow in the winter and in the summer a mixture of road maintenance and field work. I've also been driving prototypes for a well known Finnish tractor company for over 4 years now. You can find one of my latest projects with them here:

The difference between Finnish farming and that in England is huge. I'm still wondering why the Finns drive in circles around their fields!
