An interesting week for Ben

He's just started a week of work experience.

He'd like to design cars for a living, having an interest in graphic arts and mechanical and adrenaline inducing things. So he's got a week of shadowing someone at the BMW-Mini factory, which sounds like it's going to be fun. So far he's been checking over a new car fresh off the line (under guidance, of course) and out for a test drive. Tomorrow he's going to Silverstone with the team that are testing a new model.

Now the downside - He's got to be at the Oxford factory at 7.30am, and he has to pick up another lad first, who lives 25 mins in the wrong direction. Bed time for the chauffeur then :-/
