WEll, it's time to blog again!
Today was the first day of my ITP at Mercedes! It was very cool! In the morning went there to report and was early by say 15mins! ha! The place is really heck of a Ulu place! haha. Aiway, reported and started "work". Did the tour of the facility again. Saw much more things this time round, the store, workroom, meeting room, service center and canteen. Went around the building to do stuff. The best place is the Store, like it so much! Get to see so many parts of a car. The thing is they did have to order and they would take out of this huge store. Then there is this internet database to check the part number and if they have stock, if not we have to order from Daimler and Chrysler. hahe. Very interesting. Have seen so many diffrent type of Mercs there! There were the latest S class and of course the SLK coupe.
Besides that, there is the Military vans, Amoured Cisco vans, K-9 vans, RSAF Ambulance and this new container truck from the fleet that PSA has signed a deal for $10Million! Well, there are also vans that private customers own like a Vito van that cost $200000! ha! I think those people really got too much money to spend! ha!
In the afternoon, did oil level testing. It was a very greasey and oily job but never the less interesting. Get to see how much the oil is left, and most importantly not to waste the oil! It cost like $5 per Litre! Whoa! hah!~ So now you know that the oil in the braking system is not cheap! ha
Many more things. There is this one particular Mercs that got into an accident. It really strengthened my mindset of how European cars are the best! It was involved in an accident, and the whole engine was crushed very badly! But the thing is, it only end at the engine, the driver and passenger main area was not even crushed at all! Whoa!, and the best part, the glass is still intact! IF it was a Japanese car, all the glass would be broken and the whole car would look like a scrap metal! Whoa, so friends, you will know wad cars to buy next time! ha!
I would say the whole day is very interesting.
Well, now awaiting tomorrow! After work meet up with friends to celebrate Ken's and Mel's birthday! Yeah!
