I'm embarrassed.
I have to finish the wheel discs and the Jag dash. It bugs me that I've let things slide.
I had a youngster that was going to work with me but things never worked out.
He was going to assist on your projects to get experience.
Sean Morrow has just finished 5 years at University studying aeronautics and he's got a temporary job
with a guy developing drones to monitor the Rhino population. They're building composite planes and he wants
to work weekends for experience. He's been here twice and he's a big help so we'll do the Jaguar dash together.
Might as well throw him in at the deep end.
Manufacturing a dash using the original vinyl and foam factory part is an exercise for the very brave.
I've walked away so many times it's scary. You can't give up and eventually it clicks.
Mark from Marcom Aeronautics and Space has given Shaun a project to do a comparative CFD modeling programme
on the long car. He sends his results to Mark and hopefully he'll get a permanent job next year.
I even want to work for Marcom.
My crew is growing. We'll get together soon hopefully.
We're not Roush Racing but like Don Martin says "It's all fun".
Riaan Lingenfelder (manager and hydraulics).
Victor Moore. (instrumentation).
Sean Morrow (aero and composites).
Pritesh Makan (logistics).
Willie Mulder (planning).
Clive Cabe (drivetrain and composites).
Theuns Visser (structures).
Nasen Padayachee (turbos and engine management).
These guys are all awesome people I like, trust and get on well with.
Thanks all for the kind words and motivation. It goes a long way and keeps me grafting.
