Job hunting!!

hi dub fans

i was wondering if anyone knows any ways of getting into the motorsport mechanics, tuning and performance industry?

i have always had a passion for cars and engineering and have done plenty of modifiactions to my golf mk3 after looking through this forum and plenty of other off topic chat! if anyone had a garage in the bucks/london area looking for an apprentice or knows of any other ways into the industry it would be very much appreciated.

many thanks

Calm down Little Miss Menstrual, seems like a genuine question. I've seen worse in the off-topic section.

Sorry about that mate, been a long day!

Have you enrolled or registered on a college course or similar? Your in the right part of the country anyway to start looking.

Best path is probably trying to get yourself an apprenticeship, you would more than likely have to start in a normal garage to learn your trade and work up from there.

There is a lot of members on here who are big into motorsports who might point you in the right direction.

Good luck and all the best.

my advice would be go to as many garages in your area  and show them what ya got always better imo to go face to face rather than piss about with calls etc


good luck

thanks for all the help and advice lads, going to go and have a look at a college in bicester which is specific to what im looking for.

good idea about going down to the local garages and showing them what i can do, hopefully put me in a good position rather than teaching some rat how a spanner works!!

much appreciated
