Disagree. Cars are far less tinkerable. I don't know what kids do, but
the average motorist is certainly far less equipped to get his hands
dirty than a few years ago. I knew a lady who use to do a valve grind
on her car in the early 50s. I'd like to see that now. Anything much
beyond an oil change is a course.


A "lady" who grinded her own valve sittings?
Was her name Edna, perchance? ;-)
I guess "the outback " asks for fierce women, with hair on their
teeth, arms like trees and weiging a massive 400+ pounds..........

That said, I have some experience rebuilding and repairing Citroens,
which means any other thing mechanic is a piece of cake for me.
