not quite (Jackie) Stewart Racing -> Jaguar (Ford) -> Red Bull

Arrows went bust, but then Super Aguri moved into the same factory in Leafield before also going bust. And after sitting empty for a few years, it's now Caterham F1's new home. I can't remember if Super Aguri bought any part of Arrows or not.

Also:

Toleman -> Benneton -> Renault ->Lotus
Tyrrel -> BAR -> Honda -> Brawn -> Mercedes
Jordan -> Midland -> Spyker -> Force India
Minardi -> Torro Rosso
Sauber -> BMW -> Sauber

You could almost believe F1 wasn't a very stable business to be in.

Didn't they eventually morph into Jaguar then Red Bull? My memory is probably playing tricks.
I applied to March in about 1991, I never heard back either before they sort of went tits up.

Deli/wine import business/possibly event organising - I'll get there eventually

I applied for a job at Arrows once. Didn't get it.

That might have been short lived. I had an interview with Honda F1, shortly before they pulled out and made half the workforce redundant. I never did hear back.

I'll do cycling art tours. We'll pootle about at a leisurely pace with lots of cake stops and look at nice pictures and architecture.

Actually, that reminds me, I've been meaning to pedal to Ewelme to have a look at the tomb of Alice de la Pole - very unusual in having a tomb in her own right, and not just as someone's wife (or royalty).

The selling part looks like hard work - you have to talk tulip for 30 minutes.

I think most of us can do that.

Maybe a sports coach/fitness trainer/quack who sells exercise programmes on a shopping channel.

I'm a software engineer, and I keep getting dropped "in IT"

comes down to money doesn't it.

I'm a software engineer, I don't consider myself "in IT".

Professional cyclist, movie critic or travel writer.

Astrophysics and Astronomy are things I have always loved and dreamed to do.....

[doodab]

I'd love to have been a travel writer, or sports journalist, or maybe, even in my wildest dreams, a racing driver.

I think it would have to be something to do with cars though, maybe tuning professionally, or working for a racing team in a technical capacity.
