im an electrical engineer mate - looking after various bits of machinery in a factory that makes tiles ( Johnson tiles ) 
 
 
 


Overhead linesman ⚡️

What do you do, What sort of person are you?

 
how did you get in that profession bud if you don't mind me asking , ive just done my first year of coming out of my time as a electrical engineer and high voltage stuff has always appealed to me 

I trained as an electrician with seeboard when I left school, 3 years ago they decided they were stopping the contracting work so we had the option to jog on, or retrain as a jointer or linesmen.... Not looked back since.

If it's something you're interested in, have a look on your DNO's website and see if they've got anything for you.

Build historic rally cars not as fun as it sounds! Most days spent welding rusty Porsches

Professional tinkerer / Historic race mechanic. 

Personally I love the motorsport world, I get the social side of things along with hands on experience of building cars, fabrication, race setup. But aim for something you want to do and you should find a little niche or area you enjoy. Doing lots of voluntary work is a good way to find out what you do and don't like as you found! good luck!

Will likely have crossed paths a few times in that case, I have been running a few jags in the HSCC and HRDC championships this year. Who are you working for?

I've helped out with Wren Sport for a few seasons in Masters historic sports cars and gentleman drivers, not this year though, and with Linstone Classics in the hscc with f3 screamers amongst other things.
