What's your brew, as in life trade
Allington (Steve):
Just digging up a fascinating old thread... I was brought up on a fun fair and as a kid spent a lot of time building, fixing and riding (off road) various Bantams, C15's, Tiger Cubs, Honda 50's and scooters then on my 16th birthday and back on the Isle of Wight bought an FS1E (life defining moment) and started work in a plastic precision engineering company making parts for Rolls Royce and cigarette manufacturing machines. A few years later moved into boat building (much more money) as well as breaking cars in my spare time and then in the early 80's trained and became a photographer and videographer and moved to Darlington.
In the mid 90's started a company called Racing Composites in Lincolnshire making the bodywork for a lot of the motorbike racing teams here and abroad and the then growing track day market and then after a competitor bought us out started an internet company in a completely different direction altogether. We sold the internet company back in 2015 and retired.
