Paul372 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Some of you may know i'm a bricklayer / builder but due to not having much work at the moment i've been looking at getting into something new and by luck i got oftered a job working for caterham building there cars, something i have no experience at so i thought i would give it ago, the pay is not great not as good as building but its regular money something i need at the moment so i took the job and thought it would be a good experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sound like it will be a very interesting job. I wonder how many people have brought the kits, and never managed to finish them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
