[quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by FlaFFy_91[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] Mechanics, even if worked in a garage for years, are still generally the members of society that didn't do to well in school, so that doesnt surprise me. I don't work in the industry, yet I built that puma track car on my drive way, the bits on this defender aswell as other stuff. I'm no expert but I managed that just from going and doing it and working it out as I go along, its not hard. If it was my actual industry that I did for a living, I'd have picked this sort of stuff up within a few months, not just me either, anyone that has a medium level of intelligence, as I said, most mechanics dont fall into that category. I rebuilt an IB5 gearbox in my living room and fitted a quaiffe diff, people kept telling me it was only something a garage or ford could do ffs :lol: [Edited on 20-02-2015 by Steve] [/quote] Bit of a cunt of a statement that to be honest. Essentially "mechanics are the thick kids at school" Massively not true. Fair enough I wasn't top of the class and I'm not the best with spelling or what ever. But doing work on your own car at home on your drive way in your spare time isn't even close to being an actual mechanic. It's a whole different world. First of all you have time constraints to do stuff quickly and efficiently. Then you have the fact your working on other people's cars, if your own wheel comes off and you crash. Your a twat. If your customers wheel comes off your in for a law suit. Try completing one of our master tech exams or even just the yearly assessment. Then come back and tell me it's an easy job. It's like saying yer being an I.T. Technician is piss easy. I've used word before. [/quote] It really isn't like any of those analogies. All the extra required skills you quote about doing it professionally, isn't actually about having any actual skills as a mechanic. It's more about knowing shortcuts, this is exactly the type of thing I was asking about nuts and bolts. Again not difficult to pick up when you start doing it day to day. I realise it's different from doing stuff in your spare time, I'm saying picking up the extra bits and pieces isn't hard. [/quote]
