[Jac Mac]

I did my mechanics apprenticeship in a country garage, worked on everything from garden tractors to big trucks, VW's to V8's, left the day my apprenticeship finished & went to work at the nearest Ford Dealership, I reckon that in the four years at the Ford Dealership I taught them more than I learnt from them, never forget the day the Boss called me in to his office & accused me of 'Back Yarding' by doing repairs on an air compressor for myself......... The 'Air Compressor' was the motor out of a VW that had stripped it cam gear, the VW was a car used by the firm that ran the local paper, sitting on the hoist right by his office it had stripped the timing gear while in the lube bay when they attempted to restart it, I had whipped the motor out, chucked it on a barrow & wheeled it round to my work bench when he happened to 'discover' my efforts........ Ever seen a Boss/ Manager with copious quantities of egg on his face....
