No prob. I'm leaving my company soon, but if you ever need Key Tech's help, they're there.

You know, that's the first time I've heard "Engineer" or "Technician" used in the same sentence with "cool." :lol:

I like Key Tech's website layout, except that it takes a while to load. We work on a lot of the same type of projects.

I'm a student and a server at a Old Chicago. Although its a great college job, I definately don't want to do it forever. Once I get my Mech. engineering degree, I'll be able to look for a real job. 8)

I work for a Porsche dismantler and specialty parts manufacturer. Our flagship items are race ratio gears, LSD's, and ring and pinions for the 356 and 911's through 1985. We are one of only 5 or 6 shops in the world making these parts. We also do twin plug distributors for motorsports use that are FIA and HSR certifiied for vintage motorsports. We are a really small operation with only 6 employees, and I don't really have a title. We have also dismantled over 800 Porsches in the last 25 years.

Pardon the website. It hasn't been updated in 2 years, which is one of the items on my infinite "to-do" list...

Mechanical Engineer / Engineering Manager

I lead a small department of engineers and designers/CAD operators, but luckily I still get to do quite a bit of design work myself, mostly machine design. My company does sheet metal & fabrication work and builds machinery for the fruit sorting and packing industry.
