System Design and Install Engineer for advanced audio visual stuff.

Basically design anything that requires projectors or 3D stuff...so the bog standard Cinema Multiplex's through to the design studios for car manufacturers, with a few military jet and F1 simulators thrown in too.

Currently working on a few new themeparks - typical 3D/4/5D crap though.

Maybe bolt-on a couple of Ariane 5 Solid Rocket motors? :eek: At 1.5 million lbs thrust each, I might be able to keep up with some of the rather quick WR1's on here :D

There are a bit pricey though :(
