Default Just Been Offered A New Job...so Excited!!!!

Yay....just got back from an interview at Dennis Welch Motorsport....and got offered the job on the spot!!! Really looking forward to the doors that this move has the possibilties of opening for me

Their website dont do them justice...the place is gob smacking! It was the most exciting interview ive had, ever. In the summer race season they are abroad approx twice monthly, racing at the likes of Spar etc. Cant bloody wait

Cant wait to learn about the brand new engine dyno room....he mentioned a limit around 1000bhp....the old one was only around 400bhp which was not much use now as stuff moves on.

Yeah, was Vauxhall up until 2mnths ago...moved to Peugeot and then decided I either go all out to improve my future with cars or jack it all in together and get a job at RollsRoyce like many do in Derby. This is a make or break opputunity for me.
