He's really into cars, and often helps me tinkering with my WRX. He often stays over at my place for the weekend to do car stuff, or just to be around me and my Subaru buddies.
When he finishes school, he's looking to do an apprenticeship as a mechanic, or similar, so for his work experience placement he was looking around at local garages. Unfortunately none could accommodate a school kid on work placement.
I'm not sure how, but he managed to get in touch with Morgan Cars, who are sort of local to him. They have work experience programmes set up, and so he's got a week of work placement, which he started today.
Morgan are a British car maker that has been around since 1909, and they hand build fantastic sports/touring cars. They all look fairly similar, there's a Morgan "look" which is that sort of 1950's classic look.
Anyway, I got an excited message this morning from him. Apparently, the first thing they have him helping to work on is a Morgan AR Plus 4. These are a limited special edition Morgan with a 2.0L 225BHP Cosworth engine. Apparently they're only building 50 to celebrate 65 years of the Plus 4, and he's currently helping work on chassis No. 4 :)

I'm a proud uncle right now :)
