@@BDSMotorsport man being a mechanic myself, I genuinely wanna congratulate you on your willingness and patience for showing and explaining to ethan about the logistics of repair. I do the same with customers of mine, and know from experience that the more you help someone understand about it, the easier and more maintained their cars are next time they need something sorted and they respect the value of looking after their cars more. Maximum respect to you Bruno. Also, well done Ethan on the jobs you’ve done on the car, it’s pleasing to see your genuine pleasure and pride when you’ve done your own repair or just something you haven’t done before.

Whilst taking the piss out of Ethan is fun an' all, can we just take a moment to appreciate the progression from 'losing an Allen key down a spark plug hole' to 'wrenching and bleeding on own project car' in a little over a year? Yes, there is still some mechanical sympathy and confidence to come with practice, but good on you Ethan!
