umbro should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
test drive

How would I go about getting a job test driving cars for a living? I don't mean F1's, I mean any kind of car. Surely there is a designated person(s) for every car manufacturer who "tests them out" when they come off the production line? or am I mistaken?
Maybe somebody here has already chosen such a career....?:confused:

I'd start by contacting the manufacturers.

If anyone know of a similar job in a brewery, to "just test out" the beer, let me know.

Seriously, the nearest you'd probably get to such a job would be at a local dealership doing PDIs (Pre Delivery Inspections).

I think I'll give Lamborghini a miss, seeing as the nearest I've ever got to a performance car is a BMW Z3.
PDI's eh? I'll look into it.
Cheers guys.
