DodgeRover Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Stepdaughter's report card at Parents' Evening last night. She's doing entry level car mechanics. Very proud. report card.jpg Upper half is practical assessment (4 distinctions, 2 merits and 2 passes), bottom is the theory side. 2nd in the class overall with an average mark of 94% and is earmarked for an apprenticeship at the local VW dealer. I think she's going to make a bloody good mechanic when she's all growed up. She's already said that drum brakes are "fucking awful fucking fuckers that can fuck off". Good girl! EDIT - parents' evening was last week, we got the report card yesterday after she came home from college!Well done to your daughter, I doubt she has discovered the joy of rebuilding calipers yet and the wonders of multiple sticking pistons DSdriver, Parky and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Woohoo, Camry went pretty much straight through its MoT (apart from a number plate bulb). Looks like I've done almost 2,500 miles in it since resurrecting it last year after the accident damage and being written-off in late 2013. Perhaps I should celebrate by getting the tailgate painted and twin rear wipers working this year?...... greengartside, Ghosty, Jim Bell and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
