I'm pretty handy, did machining many years back, but not trained as mechanic. Comfortable enough with oil exchanges, brakes etc, but have much theoretical knowledge instead of experience. Since I haven't driven through my 20's I and only recently reacquired a non-expired license, I have no idea what my driving will be like apart from sporadic camping trips and sub 40km commutes to work :P

Wanted to do a ben nelson style EV for many years, if i could afford a Leaf/Prius new I would grab one. I suspect I will just keep looking, doing my research. The family car is a manual Jetta TDI (2006) and before that I learned on a Jetta we bought in '85, so I'm comfortable with diesels

.

Thanks for the replies gents
