How does one get a halfords trade card?

[RalphG]

Er... you need to be in the trade and be able to prove it. You take your payslip or other proof to the parts counter and then they give you the trade card.

you can be a student doing a relavent course as well. my mate gets his for doing motorsport engineering.
