[quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by broster[/i] Some people think mechanic means tyre fitter, I know some very skilled mechanics, engine builders and tuners who struggle to string a sentence together, however they are very successful at what they do. Having spent a while in the trade seeing cars which people build themselves then seeing what can be done by a professional, what alot of people seem to forget is the time it takes to do stuff, as a diy man it doesnt really matter it it takes a full day to fit a diff into an ib5 box (not rocket science really) compared to someone doing it for a job doing it in a few hours. Also at Matt says, one simple mistake and you cost a business or customer time and money, as a diyer thats not really anyones problem other than your own. [/quote] Im not saying they aren't good at what they do, I'm saying it's not difficult to get to the point of being successful as a mechanic. Saying it's not that hard to rebuild an ib5 gearbox proves my point. I'm also not suggesting I'm as good a mechanic as someone who does it full time either, so throwing my personal achievements at me is redundant. What I'm saying is if I had to do it as my a day job, I'd pick it all up very quickly because it doesn't require much intelligence. For the record I am aware there is some quite advanced stuff that does require a modicum of intelligence, but 90% of it can be picked up by anyone really because it's not hard. [/quote]
