      Hi Isaac, sadly no I haven’t.

      I did use to work for an oil & gas company though, so I helped to produce the oil that goes into cars instead!

      Are you keen on cars then?

      I really wanted to be a car designer when I was much younger, but did not know how I could get involved. It was only when I went to university that I met people who were studying Automotive Engineering. One of my friends works for Red Bull Formula 1 team as a design engineer.
      I rebuilt my 1st car, but it was an old car without modern engine management systems.

      Hi Isaac!
      I once built a radio controlled dune buggy – does that count?
      My mother in law is from Germany and she’s often hinting that she’d really love it if I went to work for one of the big German car makers like Audi or BMW. But I think that’s mainly because she’d like us to go and live near her so she can see more of her grandchildren 🙂

      Hi Isaac 🙂

      No sorry I haven’t 🙁 I’ve designed the bridges and roads they drive on but I’ve not been involved in creating a car!
