Emptying the ash trays ...

Outside M J Whites, a bearded bravo jet washed a mud streaked behemoth - 

Nearby, Andy Merry reshaped a twisted Skoda - 

I watched Chris White fix the Golf's wing mirror - 

The bravo jet washed a man high tyre -

Inside the garage, the young car mechanics delved into sleeping engines -

I remembered the words of a man I'd known in Winchester, one smoke filled summer - 

My idea of car mechanics he'd said - is emptying the ash trays -
