My local workshop is ace!!

They don't charge me for minor work, and have taught me and the wife the basics. My wife even goes up there on Saturdays to learn some of the heavy stuff, she's probably at second year apprentice level. One of the boys also came round on Saturday while I was out to tidy something up on the car for me.

Good workshops are out there, you just have to look. I must be that lucky bastard who has them fall in his lap.
