Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Hi folks I joined last year hoping to get a Zed in Azure blue,but buying a house was more of a priority at the time. However,iv recently had a pay rise from work,and have decided to sell my Astra Coupe and get a Zed,my girlfriend/co-habbitant is even lending me the money to get one! Thought id say hi again really,and get to know the forum and people abit better. Im living in Brackley and work for the Red Bull F1 team,and im 26. I also live up the top of 2 pretty steep slopes that my astra couldnt get up in the snow,so im looking forward to that in the 350! lol Quote
bounty78 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 There should be enough fire power to get you up the slope in the 350Z but make sure you have an alternative come winter time. 350Z does not fair very well in the snow or icy road Quote
Maccaman Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Hi & :welcome again. Interesting time to be working for the Red Bull F1 team. So what do you do for them? Quote
Cragus Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Red Bull F1 team - mighty interesting? What do you do? Don't say tea boy! Quote
Ebized Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Welcomme to the forum Working for a F1 team and having a girfriend that buys your cars for you - can't be bad Quote
stanski Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 to the forum Do you get free samples of Red Bull then - bet your alway hyper! Quote

Bradders Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Work for Red Bull F1 team?? Not being funny, but is that not one of the best jobs in the WORLD!!?? I agree on the snow front. I've experienced going sideways at 60 on the A19. Very squeaky backside time! Buy a cheap Panda 4x4 for the winter Bradders. Quote
Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Cheers for the welcomes,nice to feel part of the gang. Im a composite NDT inspector at Red Bull. We use ultra sonics to test for delamination in composite structures,such as suspension and the chassis. We also check bonds in the alot of parts,again,like the chassis and suspension,front and rear wings etc. Its pretty cool,i got to go to Singapore GP last year,and i went to our first test in Jerez this year,and im off to Brazil for the penultimate round. So looking forward to that. We do indeed get free Red Bull,most departments have a Red Bull fridge that they keep it in,and there are pallets of the stuff in stores. My house is well stocked,but dont drink it that much to be honest,worst case,a can a day. Quote

Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 back you just missed the west mids meet at Draycote water on Sunday Thats a bugger! Though i was working most of sunday,so wouldnt have been able to come anyway im affraid. Quote
Wookiee22 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 And +1 on the alternative winter transport. Take a look through the threads generated over Dec/Jan/Feb just gone! Quote
Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 And +1 on the alternative winter transport. Take a look through the threads generated over Dec/Jan/Feb just gone! I could always take the Mrs Swift Sport to work,and she could get a taxi! lol Friends of our are moving in round the corner,so i maybe able to leave the car there if i cant get up to my place. Result. Do people have a set of winter tyres and summer tyres,or just keep the same ones on the car? Also,has anyone ever had an LPG conversion on their 350,is it possible? Quote
bronzee Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Might be just as well you have friends around the corner perhaps come snowy time. Enjoy, when you find one. Quote
Daryl Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Well im waiting to get my Astra Coupe back from the body shop,and the insurance company to decide who was at fault with an accident. When thats all sorted (within the next week or so hopefully) il be putting it up for sale. Iv already seen a Zed that im interested in,so we shall see what happens. Quote
