I feel a lot of people do it partly for something to do and partly to keep in with all their friends and the social side of it.

 

 

exactly, i asked people why did they choose that uni, most of them answered 'the nightlife is good and theres this bar that does this and this event every week'

 

Imalmost T total, and i go to uni to learn stuff!

Are we the last generation who can actually fix things?

 

or, are we the FIRST generation to build things that are either too complicated to fix, or desiged to NOT be fixed?

spot on bolt. how many of these old boys had ECU's and pentium processors bolted onto thier engines?

[Marko]

ECU's? If I remember correctly the foil from a 10 pack of Embassy number six folded in half was 8 thou - so you could set the points anyware

I can still run rings round Toyota Technicians, they are useless without a computor.

 

They told me my turbo was knackered on my 3 year old Toyota Amazon and that it would be around £2.5K to fix

 

I asked if turbos regularly went on amazons with 30k on the clock.

 

"No" They said.

 

"So would you suspect that a sensor is faulty rather than the turbo seen as the car is running perfectly fine"

 

He just stood there like a numpty.

 

Turned out to be a loose connection, which I found.

 

Just one of a catalogue of laughable incidents with toyota techs, problems they have mis-diagnosed which deano diagnosed properly with no computor

The things a fag packet could be used for eh. 25 thou points, foil around a blown fuse, write a quote on it
