Koxxy chill buddy!!
im gonna back you because you a mate of nadine's!!!
nick we also mates... think you were a lil harsh calling him a chav etc...
but koxxy point taken... i aint saying you a chav.. but the pic you used didnt portray you as well as it could of if you get me.
us car freaks get alot of stick... when i was a cruiser etc... people us to look at me ..and my modded car and think "willy "..
i often kicked off like u.. but now you just gotta let it go!
i now have a escort cosworth thats raced preped with 300bhp.. and has the full WRC look..even got carbon fibre bucket seats and rollcage and fire extingishers etc.
so...who had the last laugh.. while they spent out and smoked and drank their money away.. i now have a car..which is worth atleast 15k or so.. and can take most scooby's and evo's i see on the road.
i learnt to loose the cap ... especially when you advertise yaself in a pic etc.
theres a fine line between a boyracer and a car enthusiast.. learn to walk that line buddy and u'll be laughing.
Now lets try and keep cars and bikes seperate yeah.. or the forum will go tits up!!
welldone guys!! :D
Tom.
ps- kev ..when writing..try not to write things like larf and fool!!!
because geezers think you try'n to b a badboy innit!!.. and u'll just open up a path for people to sterotype you.. pack it in nick!! lol
If i lose the hat i have a skin head! :P So look like a so called 'chav' anyways

Just make sure you think about your future too though. Think about it more long term too, as in what career prospects there'd be (working your way up from just doing one-off jobs for your Dad/friends to working as a mechanic in a garage to working your way up the promotion ladder to being manager and so on). Make sure it's definitely what you want to go into and it'll be fine. Talk to your Dad about it if you haven't already.
I'm sort of in the same boat. I want to do a music degree at university, but because it's so specialized it might not mean anything to a lot of employers, but it might help me further along the line if I pursue becoming a music/bass tutor or something like that. It'll also give me a shitload of experience of playing, playing live and all that stuff, so in many ways it's similar to what will happen if you do the course. You'll gain a lot of knowledge about cars and related stuff in general, which can only be good if it's something you want to do later on in life.
If you're undecided, you could do the A-levels/etc. route just to give yourself a bit of a fall-back option, although most employers would be happy enough with a college course; the need for a qualification specific to your job isn't so important any more, unless it's for an uber specialized field. For example, people who do degrees can get certain jobs just 'cos a lot of people say the applicant must have completed a degree. It just means to employers that you're willing to stick with whatever course you're doing, and that you've got a level of aptitude of reading/writing/arithmetic and so on. It'll be the same if you do a college course; they'll know you're reliable 'cos you stuck with the course, and so on.
Just talk to people about it, check out college guide books/prospectus'ss's'ss's's's'ss. If you speak to the college, you could always sit in on a lesson and check it out and see if it's what you're looking for. I'm guessing that it's not all going to be fun and games and that there'll probably be some not-so-fun theory side of things as opposed to just purely practical, so bear in mind it won't all be a bed of roses. Try and get a realistic idea of what the course will entail.
Mark.
EDIT: Didn't see Koxxy's post, was writing this. Basically: What he said :)
Career prospects as it stands pretty much suck (Y) lol if you wanna be a spanner monkey all you life and earn f**k all then fine just go work in a garage and do MOT's or go work for quickfit or somthing
The money starts to come in when you are a Specialist or a tecnician.
Specialist - Sprayers , Welders , panel beaters or If you are a specialist on a certain make i.e BMW. If you want allot for being a specialist go work on commercial vehicles, My cossin is working at welham green mercades and he is a HGV mechanical tecnician and hes on £30,000 per year and is entitled to a company merc when ever he wants it.
Tecnician - you diagnose and rectify faults, Diff between these guys and normal spanner monkeys is spanner monkeys just fix it they don't fault diagnose which is a key part to mechanics these days althou all fault diagnosis is done mainly be computers now. Leading manufacturers used comps to do these as it gets them more money, LOTS OF MONEY just cause YOU HAVE TO have you car plugged into this comp to get it sorted out
GCSE Grades
Rather Shite (these are roughly what i got cause i cnt be bothered to check for sure)
English -DD
Maths - F
Science - EE
Geography - DG U
Drama - C
Tech - C
French - E
R.E - Banned from
I could spell FUDGE :P
Grades are overly the most important thing, If you have a good attitude and show willing. You have a great chance of gettin a place, Just go and show them that you want to do this and if you are like me and wear a baseball cap, Then take it off for the interview its always marked against you. Don't slouch when you sat there either cause they class that as being dis interested. Maintain good eye contact, obviously you don't need to stare the person out :P cause thats agressive but maintain the average 1-2 second eye contact every so offten to let the interview person know you listening. Overall just be happy and have a smile on you face when you in there (Y)
You don't need it but good luck, I hope it works out. If you want any more help then let me know

Hi corish (Y) I'm a second year 'Light vehicle, Pre employment training' Student. You wanna know anything about it then don't hessitate to ask me
if you are doing the Course im on then your first year is a doddle, Althou it seems hard when you first start (if you havn't a clu about vehicle mechanics) My course was made up of three parts 1) Light vehicle (All vehicles up to the size of a luton van) 2) Motorcycle (self explanitory) 3) Body repair, respraying & valeting (self explan)
Your first year will bring you roughly up to speed with what you need to know to get a basic job in a garage and know the basics. You will do stuff such as,
Basics of saftey ( about how to correctly remove and disconnect batterys and prepair vehicles to be worked on etc etc)
Service 1's (oil change,air filter change, spark plugs blah blah blah)
remove and refit components
Motorcycle is basicaly the same stuff but applyed to bikes
Body work etc etc
Normaly all the basics, Dent removal, chasis straigtening, Body filling, welding, respraying, vehicle cleaning and valeting
Thats you practical work
If you course is like mine then it all has be be followed up by a hefty portfolio of theory based work to show you can also communicate and show your skills in theory as well as in the workshop. Theroy normaly is piss easy but can have stuff you havn't done so is somtimes abit of a pain.
second year
My second year is light vehicle onli, Its a much more indepth year and focuses on vehicles systems and advanced stuff compaired to level 1. Once you pass first year if you wish to come back for a second year you will find mechanics allot easier because vehicle mechanics isn't hard, fixing the problems isn't hard its being able to tell whats wrong with it in the first place that is the hard part.
Ummm this prob didn't help but hey i tryed.
Take care and good luck
What i've got to show for it
Certificates to prove i'm capable in just a few of the many area's ive got certificates for
:Valeting
:Tyre fittin
:Servicing
:Motorcycle repair
:Body work repair
:Repsraying
:Welding
