Default Vampire saying hi

Hey everyone. Its nice to be apart of the forums
Currently i am 15 and i want to get a job so by the time im 16 maybe get a toyota celica (ill have to borrow some of my parents money :P). I cant wait to even get my license... or permit.

Just curious. Ive noticed a lot of intelligent people on here and was wondering if any of you took autoshop classes at your schools?, cause i would really like to learn more and i have been reading stuff on the internet but that gets kinda boring and i think its limited

schools over here dont normally do autoshop its more of an american thing. the stuff ave learned is things that have been shown to me or trail and error until it works.
a good thing is to have a haynes manuel close by as well

Welcome to the forum mate. Nice to see some ambition!! You should read some of the articles on this site. If your only 15 you should start looking into college courses in mechanics...I've got a couple of mates that do specialist mechanics (in Northampton).

Good luck with the Celica

Hi Vampire. My knowledge comes from the junior picture encylopedia of cars ) Only joking I think like most of us on here we are self taught. Some by trial and error and other by listening to sage advice

Aaa, i see. But what do you mean by "trial and error" is that like try something and then fail and you learn from it?
