What do you need to do to get one of you own? Do you need to spend a certain amout each month?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Have to provide a motor industry qualification (not sure what qualifies) or a payslip from a "recognised garage".
Thinking about it.. I wonder how closely they check, and what a motor industry qualification bit of paper looks like?
Not that I'm suggesting anyone should get handy with a scanner and photoshop, that would be fraudulent. But would it be illegal?

Alot of halfords you can just go in and ask and theyl give you one apparantly.
The last few times iv been in with me card iv had to sign for it so im not sure if theyr checking against people lending cards out or if its just to
makesure youv receieved the bits.

Cards can be issued at managers discretion-we blagged one froma nice young female asistant one quiet evening after attempts with the grumpy old man
had failed -we'd just been to a show and could honestly say we'd bought £400 worth of parts the week before which helped to swing it, got
card on the spot!!

I managed to get one, by showing a certificate for 1 module of a NVQ in Building Maintanance services.
I just showed them the maintanance part lol, so maybe any engineers or other profesions with NVQ's that have mechanical units in them somewhere
might manage to get one.
It might help if your after something relatively expencive as well, as I was after a full spanner set at the time.

it's open to bulk parts and tool users at manager's discretion.
i used to have most of the clout with trade cards at our branch and it was seen to be acceptable to offer trade to anyone in a boiler suit pretty
much. basically, what they're after is drawing you to halfords rather than the local trade place because you wouldn't normally shop there,
not just because you want to spend a lot one off and chances are, you'd spend it there anyway.
try going in at 5 oclock on a saturday and say the place down the road has just shut and you need x,y and z and you've heard they do a trade
card for people in the profession......and you do a lot of weekend jobs.
if you go in at half 10 on a sunday morning though, chances are, they'll laugh at you
