Looking for a thread (the Nürburgring Jag/LR job offer)

[Benni]

Hi PHers !
There was a thread in PH 2-3 days ago with a link to a job offer by Jaguar/Land Rover,
cutstomers service and tours around the Nürburgring if I recall somehow correctly.
It was called "the best job ever?" or so, I tracked back and searched,
but could not find it.....
Does anyone here have the link ?
Cheers,
Benni

Sorry. My fault for trying to be 'street', and my use of the word 'Coolest'.

When you get the job, just make sure Wigion is first in the PH queue for rides.

I should be first in the queue, partly for posting it in the first place, and partly for being grossly underqualified to apply for it myself...

Having seen their test driver rag the proverbials off a Rangie Sport I'm not sure I would keep my lunch down during any free ride. but I'll tell you what I'd buy that man a beer if anyone finds out his name.

I mean the guy who was driving the Rangie Sport but hell if you're ever in DDs for a drink on one of the PH meets of course I'll buy you a beer.

And is that chap actually the driver?

Nope, he's the Director of the facility

...who also does a lot of the test & development driving.



I could expand on that, but I'm not going to.

Thus, in her second appearance on Top Gear, she actually drove a Ford Transit van in an attempt to beat Clarkson's time set in the Jaguar S-Type diesel. Her final time with a slightly stripped (hub caps, spare tyre and toolkit removed and a Dodge Viper driving in front to create 'clean air') Transit van was 10 minutes and 8 seconds (Season 6, Episode 7). When trying to film Schmitz, the team couldn't keep up so they used Jaguar test driver Wolfgang Schubauer to drive the Jaguar S-Type R chase car.
