Tom E Cropp Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 Wasn't so bad after all, hard to get back into the routine of getting up at 7.30 though
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 14, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 14, 2013 Man .... that's a long time off work! !!:roll:
Tom E Cropp Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 It certainly was! It's quite difficult to take time off during the year with my job so we end up taking all of our holiday over Christmas
Tom E Cropp Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 I work for a race team called Carlin, we run cars in 4 championships...Formula 3, World Series by Renault GP3 & GP2, I'm a mechanic on the F3 team. That's why I can't take holiday throughout there year due to our very busy season racing and testing, here's a pic of an F3 car I was working on last year...
James HPE Motorsport Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Same place as me Jo!! That's why I am never at any of the good meets!!! ;(
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 14, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 14, 2013 Ahh yes ... i know the company - James has been there a while now - Carlin buys silicone from us sometimes :mrgreen:
Tom E Cropp Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 Same place as me Jo!! That's why I am never at any of the good meets!!! ;( And that's why I get talked into spending so much money! What company do you work for Jo?

Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 14, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 14, 2013 Lol its all go in Hampshire! !! Let me know if you need a teaboy/lackie on a Friday as my son is almost done on his level 2 vehicle technician course at college and needs a permanent placement on his day off each week .... there's nothing out there at the moment lol :mrgreen:
James HPE Motorsport Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Jo, I'll get you the email for the guy that deals with work placements. I can't promise anything but I'm sure if its in unpaid work placement then they wouldn't say no! We have a lot of work experience lads that come here for placements so it would be worth a crack!
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 15, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 15, 2013 CheeRS James. Much appreciated
