TRADIE Chris Carlos Haines has his eyes on the prize, in the form of a new Toyota Hilux ute.
The 19-year-old plasterer from Pakenham entered RSVP’s Hottest Tradie competition with hopes of trading his VT wagon for the Hilux.
“It would be good to have a new work vehicle,” Chris said.
The competition is open to all tradesmen nation-wide and has seen over 120 entries from the Victoria and Tasmania category, representing over a third of the total entries.
All entrants put up a photo of themselves as well as a brief bio. Finalists are chosen based on how many votes they receive from the public.
Chris has copped a fair bit of taunting from his mates because of the competition.
“Mainly my mates bag me about it,” he said.
“But some of my friends are being supportive.”
