    Engineering progression

    There was a time when you could see all the bits like on my Holden HG Stn Wagon with the 186 Red motor which I could service and tune up (Having been in Garages for 5 years) which was I reckon holdens best 6 out now I flip the lid on the SV 6 6 speed manual car (mid life crisis car could not afford a Walkinshaw SS) and just gawk at it and close the lid after checking the levels one thing you can do. A few things stand out in my head from the garage days,
    VW fastbacks are a pain in the butt to work on,
    The Valiant slant 6's distributor was in an absolute dog of a place to replace the points on
    The Tasmans voracious sump which from memory took 18 pints as the gear box was integral to the sump being an East Wester
    Replacing an exhaust flange gasket on a mini cooper is a pain in the rear
    And finally replacing the spark plugs on my dads statesman required one to lay on the ground under the car to get No.7 plug out as there was no other way I even had a special ratchet with pivot head and a uni joint but too much junk in the way to even reach it from the top
    One compensation of the last garage I worked at was it was in Floreat close to a beach and a high end earners dwelling area and boy there were some very dirty windscreens that needed cleaning when the girls came in bikini clad Oh My???
