I changed my first tire when I was 12- it never hurts to 1have some background knowledge in your own car. It was heavy and awkward my first impressions.

My first serious girlfriend had a Cortina MK1 , and she did all her own repairs on that car.

She even changed the motor and gearbox.

She worked in a sandwich bar and was about 5 foot nothing and weighed around 50kgs, but she was good with cars - her older brothers taught her.

File this under 'things that never happened'.

As a former mechanic i rate those ladies as very good.

Sky Sports has a lady commentator Bernie Collins she was an engineer at Aston Martin F1 team in charge of race strategy. One of the best F1 commentators ever incredible knowledge of F1 cars and racing.

At 17, I changed my first tyre. The way I had the car jacked up, I put the change of tyre on. Then I put the jack down. I managed to bust something in the struts. Not to mention that driving around, the wheel was not bolted up properly. Dad reprimanded me when he found that the nut was loose by a couple of turns.

It worked in his own field of racing he was king of the mountain… flawless (Peter perfect). He knew it well like the back of his hand, years of knowing it. Grew up and older with it. Then he changed to a different type of racing.
You know they say you should never change horses midstream.
Just because he was good at one type of race all his life doesn’t mean he will master others at a later age.
I kind of thought that when I found out he was going for different.
No room for errors with dirt winding tracks and trees everywhere. No safety barriers there. Age 51, not 21 Undecided

Anyway….yesterday was raining here and daughter stayed overnight and was going to set off to go down to the peninsula for weekend … I found myself saying “Be careful as the roads are wet and slippery, leave plenty room from other cars, always leave room for error”

The rules for Targa rallies only allow 1 set of tyres.

Just about everyone goes for a semi slick with minimal grooves which are great in the dry as you don't get tread squirm.

The problem is when it rains these tyres aren't very good, there was a Targa tassie rally won by a novice because he went for regular high performance tyres over these semi slicks and it rained for several days.

The rules not allowing 2 sets of tyres were a contributing factor in Brocks death. The car he was driving was a very light car no downforce heaps of power a real handfull.

Targa rallies are very dangerous the Targa Tassie has been cancelled next year on safety grounds.

He raced at Bathurst for over 20 years so he would have taken every corner there over 3000 times.

A female relative of mine was doing an auto electrics course, when she was 17 years old. Some American just laughed at me when I told him this. He claimed that it was kind of butch for females to do that kind of work. Then his own fellow compatriot reprimanded him for dissing women in traditional men's work. I was about to say that he was really behind the times on this topic.
