Leon's love for his Suzuki Wagon R+ proves that sometimes the most unexpected cars can win our hearts. From a car he initially disliked to a dream ride featured in a movie, Leon's love for automobiles is as dynamic as his work in automotive refinishing technology.
Meet Leon, a third-year apprentice enrolled in a AUR32420 Certificate III in Automotive Refinishing Technology.
His passion for cars stems from watching his dad build them in their home shed. Though Leon first experimented with mechanical work, he found his true calling after trying his hand at a spray gun.
In the background is Leon's Suzuki Wagon R+. “The first time I saw my mate driving this car, I wasn't a fan of how it looked. Then I drove it one day and my perspective changed. I needed one! The fuel efficiency and smooth driving experience won me over.” Leon's dream car is the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe, featured in the movie Mad Max.
Leon is passionate about the automotive industry and finds great satisfaction in his work. He values the connections he has made and is excited about what the future holds. With his apprenticeship nearing completion, we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours!
