Hello everyone,
I haven't been around the Military Vehicle scene for long only about 2 years.
I've always been into vehicles and left school to study vehicle mechanics which I achieved at City & Guilds Technician Level.
I started working life as a truck fitter and spent 8yrs doing that. I had a few years at a small car garage specializing in VW & Audi but then in 1998 I moved up to Northamptonshire to pursue a career in motorsport.
I have worked for Formula Palmer Audi, Williams Touring Cars, Kid Jenson Racing F3000, Williams F1 and Jordon Grand Prix.
I started working at Jordon's as a mechanic on the race team then after a few years took on the role as damper technician running the department for both testing and racing. Well in fact I was the department and looked after all aspects of the damper scene at Jordon.
In 2006 I left and set up my own damper company I.G. Racing Ltd and this year in our 10th year and all is good.
I have designed, built and raced short oval cars with some success and i enjoy nothing more than tinkering in the garage.
That now leads us to the green machines.
I was going to restore a jeep and one day I will but at the moment I am after a GMC 352/353.
I joined the SEM MVT Area 2 years ago after Wicksteed at War 2014 and this February I became Secretary for the Area which is a bit daunting but I'm getting there.
This Sunday is my first organised road run so fingers crossed.
Well that's enough for now I look forward to speaking to some of you on here soon.
Regards Ian :-D
