Great stuff Gary :wink:
bet your car took center stage :D
Glad you got it back together in time and have you cleaned your shoe yet :shock: :P
I know a chap who works there, he left Recardo in Shoreham who develop engines for all things small and large.

Yea foot all clean now. :)

Forgot to mention heard a voice say "oh look theyve got a marina here" turned round as was confronted with Basil Wales! For those that don't know was special tuning and competitions manager at Abingdon, also the brains behind all the ST marinas etc. Who was wondering around with his son who happens to work for mclaren.

Wow should have got him to sign the bonnet 8) :P
The guy I know is Darren Feaver and Recardo decided to let him go while he was working on a Mclaren engine project. He went to Mclaren for a job and they wanted to know why Ricardo were getting rid of people working on a project they were funding!! Woops.
He is a really nice guy and knows what he is doing on cars / engines and Recardo should have hung on to him. Still I think he has done OK.
