When did I get in to em- Partly from about 5, totally from about 17.
What got me in to it- Partly my brother and all his mental V8 and V12 things he was always building, but mostly TBH it was going in a mates modded Astra GTE 16v when I was about 17! It was mental, I was hooked
DIY skills from- my brother, getting ripped off by garages, and not having enough money to pay garages so buying a haynes manual and going for it myself.

Got into cars couple of years ago after having stopped riding my VTR1000 SP-1 (RC51) on the road and falling on my face several times.
Bought a Sierra Estate to replace my crap 3dr Pug 205, fell in love with the easy/cheap maintenance on Sierras. Then started modding it. That's how I learned most of it.

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

My dad used to take me to the scrapyard and have me stripping bits off cars from when I was about 6 or 7, Cortinas, Escorts, Granada's(sacrilege these days) and so my Ford love affair was born.

Then just picked stuff up as I went along with modifying my cars and maintaining them.

i got into cars at about 2 wen my dad let me steer his p5 rover v8 on pendine sands
this went on wen he started racing cars in autograss (which i do now) and i kinda fell in love
i got all my skills from watching all the ppl around me in the pits at banger racing and autograss, and bein down my dads mates workshop watching him andthen doin it all myself on my cars
