Hi, I am Nigel Petrie and I am Engineered to Slide,
This is a snapshot of my own endeavour to create and inspire. I believe in the creation of objects from raw materials, through using these objects for their intended purpose they gain a type of personality and the story of their creation comes to life. Its story’s like these that you will find strewn across the pages of Engineered To Slide, from the initial concept, finished product, testing and then battle reports the Engineered To Slide garage is ever-evolving and there is always a story to tell.
Thank you for visiting.
