Awwwww a girl after my own heart! When I was about her age I was given the nickname "The Mechanic" after I confounded my uncles by asking for Tonka trucks and toy cars instead of dolls. I learned how to check & top up oil, windscreen washer fluid, tyre pressures, pas fluid (I was the only one who knew where it was on our old Roller) and other bits n bobs by the time I was 9

... *sigh* somewhere there's a frustrated mechanic within me!!!

Take care with her mate out there. We had a very unfortunate incident at work here where one of the mechanics bought his 3 year old daughter in and tragically a wheel fell on her when she got out, as a result she died. Only about 2 months ago and hit all of us at work very hard as they are so innocent.
