I'm primarily a front end mechanic so I don't have a lot of specs memorized for the engine, but I'm happy to answer what I can.

I can't reveal everything but I'm happy to try to answer some common questions you might have for the guys in the pit lane.

I'll try my best to answer some questions for you if you have them. I don't know everything but I've been around a while!

Edit: thanks for all the awards and the questions you're all asking! Making my day.

Edit 2: sorry for multiple replies to some of you. I was having some glitch and the replies kept disappearing. Turns out they were in fact posted.

What are your feelings on EV's?

It's a great thing for a lot of people and eventually for the environment if they can get the production process cleaned up.

However one of my most basic joys in life is firing a 6 speed through the gears and balancing the engine rpm's to keep everything singing. To me it's like taking a painter's brush away because you can do it for less on a computer. Sure it works, and sure it's probably the best way forward but I want to paint.

Edit for title typo! (Still haven't fixed it and not reposting)

Farm Work in Norwich

Hello all, I'm new to the UK and recently received the right to work. I don't know the area particularly well and the internet job listings don't seem to show me much in my area.

I was hoping to work on one of the farms nearby but I'm not sure where to start or if there's much that's actually close by.

My other catch is that I'm on a foreign licence which will no longer be valid for use in the UK after 25th September this year. I'm in the process of getting my licence but there's a pretty good chance I won't be able to get a driving test before that date.

Does anyone know of anything? Long shot, and maybe the wrong place to ask but I thought I might try.

Thanks!
