Default Re: knowledge/interest

When was it you got into cars?
Always been interested, for aslong as i can remember. I was brought up on a farm, so ive always been around machinery of sorts, in tractors in the fields when i was about 2 with my dad.

Also rememver i used to play a game when i was about 5, wrote down the letters A-Z and had to come up with a car make(or model) beginning with that letter

what made you get into cars?
My dad, uncles, papa etc, again when i was a kid, being out and about the farm with them in tractors, lorries, motorbikes etc.

Now ive found myself working in a series of main dealerships across Scotland, im around cars and vans all day

and where did you get all your diy mechanic skills from?
My dad was an Agricultural Mechanic, so i guess from him. In all honesty though, as soon as i bought an RS, i learned sooo much starter motor packed in, so whapped a new one on a couple of days later, alternator, radiator, engine mounts etc etc, all just learned it myself/with some guidance.

Never had an engine apart, or rebult one or done anything particularly intensive but i dare say i will eventually.
