Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounty78 Posted March 23, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders Posted March 23, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 to the forum What is your role at Red Bull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee22 Posted March 23, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share 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?
