Sod all this new stuff. I want a 22B.
Still gutted that I didn't get to borrow one when I did a couple of weeks work experience with Prodrive. There were at least three sitting round the carpark
.
I did get a spin as a passenger in the WRC car though
. There was a plan afoot to get me behind the wheel but the guys behind it all jetted off to China in my second week there and I spent the rest of my time working on Juha Kankkunen's Argentina car. I built his front uprights and sandblasted his front subframe.
IIRC he came sixth. I hope my shoddy workmanship didn't cost him any places!
If I had my time again, I'd go into the managers office at the end of my two weeks and beg for an apprenticeship. It would have beaten working in Jessops and Ofsted for much of my 20s
