Electronics repair/bench technician and about to start an engineering degree at the OU.
My daily driver is my 89 Mk1 and hopefully will have the mk2 on the road in the not too distant future as a secondary daily driver if I can afford the insurance.

Update: Not on the rigs or ships anymore. Land lubbing in an office in London as a safety supervisor for a French container shipping company.

I do get to visit the ships and carry out audits tho. Should mean I'm around more to participate in the various events.
