Best of luck. Don't spoil the dream for the rest of us now, I need to believe the grass is greener on the other side.

At least by the age of 31 you will be familiar with the old glass hammers,skyhooks,etc., thus saving a lot of time!!
I really wish you the best with this change in career, it takes moxy.
If only at the age of 39 I had your balls ...

Looking forward to regular updates on how you get on.

Congrats its a tough job and we don't get much credit for how difficult the job is but its very rewarding at times when you get to the bottom of a difficult fault or re-building an engine and hearing it firing up for the 1st time, lots of little victory s make up for the hard slog . Once your serving your time in a decent garage with good guys around you you will learn every day there's always something new.

I was guessing it was a Skoda dealership.
That is all.

Sorry, I though exactly the same, I thought your picture was having a go at training in a skoda garage.

My apologies

God no.
I'm actually envious of him truth be told.

You should be laughing - there are a lot of pipes, hoses, tubes, expansion tanks, pumps, flanges, condensers, compressors, washers, o-rings, thermostats, ECUs - and cylinders, rings, heads, valves, manifolds etc.

Just park the pipe wrench (except for nixers, of course).
