I'll be 22 when I leave... hopefully with a job.

Prodrive were saying they had a number of live projects and I should stay in touch with them, so got my fingers crossed that something could happen there...

I want to do my year in industry with a company like Prodrive, Lotus or Mclaren... Ireally want to get into designing performance cars

On a plus I was speaking to some second and third years about my course, most of the people who did my course are on about £30-£45k per year... Which sounded good.

Couple of my mates have been down at Marcos, they share a site with Prodrive, so might be worth you lookin at them too... they work you hard though, 24hr shifts at one point

Ohhhh, I'm hopefully going to get into it, even though Aston's car isn't the fastest it's still really impressive! The European uni's seem to be well good! But as a first year we get a chance to modify last years car and get it go even faster. As far as I know it's a very complicated Yamaha R1 powered go kart type affair

Sounds like your doing something similar to what Brad's doing actually, he's into all the motorsport stuff
