Mine is from my dad who was a professional mechanic and very good at his job.

[TheBoy]

Used to tinker in my younger days, and help a few mates who were in to such things.  Then reached a stage in my life when I decided I was too old to be messing about with dirty, oily cars in the cold, wet and dark.

Only when I got an Omega did I start again...

Got a good start from my grandad, who had an engineering background.

Then following on from that, Markie and I self tought ourselves loads by trial and error, and reading haynes books.

Then after that came the forum, which increased my knowledge even more..

Served my time as a Marine Engineer (fixing things such a 12000 horsepower 6 cylinder 2 stroke turbocharged ship propulsion plants) as well as tinkering with cars from Mk1 Escorts onwards.

Maintained that technical interest through my current employ with inspection of wrecks after a crash to ensure no mechanical failure was the cause as well as the inspection/prohibition of all road vehicles from bikes to artics.

And guddling with Omega's, all experience learned from clever peeps on here!!

Been tinkering with cars since knee high to a grasshopper, Dad was a Jag mechanic and bodyshop guy. Thought i'd break the mould and become a pilot, but once the black gold is in your blood it always pulls you back, so here i am Ford master tech with the hands and aches of a 60 year old!!!

And hotel 12000 hp -coooooolllllllll   bet that would pull afew skins off some rice puddings

Tinkered with cars since I was a kid and learning more about Omega's each day I log on here!  

[Baron Von Spongebob]

Played about with cars many years ago.

Then become a Commercial and Plant fitter for 11 years, give it up 15 years ago fed up with getting muddy and covered in diesel.

Picked up lots of knoledge from my Dad when I was a kid then carried on by myself when purchased 1st car back in early 70's (good old Austin Cambridge) used to have to spend all weekrnd working on it to keep it running for another week. Several other old wrecks, then SWMBO came along insisted we brought new. 20+ years later now back with an 8 year old Omega which has lost so much money its now like being 16 again spending weekends to keep it running for another week.
