I feel very young......


35, live in North Wiltshire near to Trowbridge with my wife and two dogs (our children!). I work for a large process refrigeration company called ICS Coolenergy based in Southampton as service manager. I specialise in electronics, controls and fluid dynamics.

I've always had a passion for petrol/forced induction and have built a number of high BHP A series minis (last ran almost 200bhp from 1293cc's, which does sound that all much I know but the std 1275 is 65bhp). I can't ever see that I'll go back from the Trident.....

There's a few of us around Yorkshire. I Think we need a meet probably in the new year when the roads dry out a bit.

I'm 41 (just) and live in Ashford in Kent.
I'm an Essex Boy born and breed, and only moved to Kent to live with the love of my life Alex.

I worked in London for 20 years doing reinsurance (zzzzzzz) but now run my own company helping businesses reduce their energy consumption (mainly, hotels & schools, but have a wide variety of clients).

Am divorced with 3 kids, but will be proposing to Alex some time soon, as I want a 4200. The deal I've made with her is that she gets a ring before I get a Maser!

Have had a load of Alfas, but have always wanted a Maserati. Fortunately I'm now in a position to afford one!

Good friend for a bit of networking!

What I do:
What don't I do?! I'm an IT manager for a debt collection agency, and also do technical support for a software company providing software to betting houses (such as William Hill, Betfair, Betclic, etc.).

I'm also a director of a recruitment company that my partner runs (so if you need some cheap recruitment give me a bell! Will beat any other company prices for Maserati owners ;)).

About me:
25 year old car nut, and driving enthusiast living in Lincolnshire! I seem to be in London more often though...

We specialise in a wide variety (I think the term is whatever you want!).

No but in all seriousness, we provide recruitment for a large number of industries. Recently been working in Legal, Finance and Admin but starting to make inroads to construction (the people tend to be more reliable).

If anyone's looking for a good recruiter give me a buzz, and if anyone's looking for a young professional with industry experience you know where I am :)!

Castlehill is a village near Knock. Go back out through Knock 'International' Airport, built atop a mountain, saves airlines using fuel ascending and descending. When they can see the runway, of course.

Much more impressive jobs than on the 205gti forum I frequent...

I'm a 44 year old exiled Yorkshireman living in Tunbridge Wells, with a wife and 2 lads, who some of you have met.
My Cypriot Dad ran a small workshop in the Yorkshire Dales, hence my love for cars and have had a Peugeot 205 of some sort since I was 19 and will always have one.
6 years of Alfa 156s have lead me to also appreciate Italian cars and a logical progression from a 156GTA is a 3200GTA, which I absolutely love.

Oh and I look for oil.
