| Introduction | Born and raised in Coventry England. Trained mechanical engineer, but left to start an English car repair shop. I help build and race a vintage MGB that I own, but do not race myself. Married with two kids, a mini me and a mini her :-) Left my business to care for my kids when my wife went back to work. Car mechanics pay can suck, as does being in a 'family business'! Spent 2 years at a race car and restoration shop in Raleigh. www.apexvintage.com Spent almost 3 years at Land Rover Cary. then 2 years at Performance Porsche, one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made, but the cars ARE cool. currently shop manager at Road Scholars, service shop in Raleigh/Durham. |
