I started by servicing mine after my mate showed me what to do, now I've done a turbo change, completely stripped a car, axle change, etc. All because I just had a crack at it. Admittedly, I usually have my mate helping me but still, I've learnt by just cracking on.
Heh, I know bud. I was terrified when I first changed a wheel cylinder. I don't have any car people in my family so it was really hard I had to do so much research for even the slightest thing! Now I can change one in an hour.

Heh, I grew a beard a year ago and haven't looked back! I do look dodgy with it though. Be glad that you look 17! You could get with 17 year old girls for a start.

Sounds about right. I bought my XUD back in 2009 but I have never had a proper job it's just that now I am doing a lot of overtime for my part time saturday job that I can afford to start playing a bit. Oh yeah and my student loan helped! That got me lowered and a Bosch conversion and half leather interior.
