Very cool.

If you need a power boost I know where you can get an electric turbo from, or one of those transistors that makes the engine think it's sucking in cooler air. Just let me know.

Orry for the delay in replying, much going on as you can imagine, current employers being arses about leaving dates as I'm "too talented to let go".

I'm obviously going to go for it, if I didn't I would surely regret it for the rest of my life.

Start date is set at 19th December.

I suspect it was actually quite a lot of hard work to get the qualifications and experience required. I dont think much luck would have come into it...

Well done buddy. Hope for an extended contract wink

Congrats!

What are you going to be working on? If you're interested in/working on the prop then pop me a pm and I'll see about getting you in to have a nose around an EJ200.

ETA: We had the Bloodhound boys in at work a few months ago, really interesting stuff. Best of luck to all you chaps!

Starting on 19th December, had VR accepted at my existing place.

Going to go into The Bloodhound design office on the days holidays I have left, just to make sure I am as up to speed as possible when I arrive on my first day. I have never been so excited about a new job, even when I got the job at Williams F1 in 1998.
