Lol :) Is he ever? This is a bloke who carries on about being "extremely
trade relevant" yet his last faint connection to the trade was over 25
years ago according to him which in any normal situation would make any
right minded person wonder how he considers a disconnection of a quarter
of a century would enable "relevance" of any kind :)

> All he`s good?? for is showing just how mind numbingly fixated one can get.

It's his inferiority complex hard at work. He simply *can't* be seen as
being inferior in any way, so he has to ridicule anything anyone else
says in order to feel superior and usually does nothing other than show
how clueless he actually is in the process.

Like his waffle about carburetors for example. A 1050cfm carburetor on
an engine of 360 cubic inches was a practical impossibility according to
him, yet Allan Moffat set pole position at Bathurst in 1972 with
*exactly* that combination. Then there's his *complete* failure to
comprehend the differences between boosted and unboosted brake systems :)

Not surprisingly he sticks his fingers in his ears and "La-La-La's"
anything that proves him wrong. And this is an imbecile who claims he
was passing on knowledge to students? The imbecile who claims
"transferred experience" is a real thing? :)

> Mind you he is ably assisted by the other fixated old cunts in here.

What, you mean the licensed fucktard who can't tell the difference
between glass and plastic?

Oddly enough, I thought the "Licensing system" in WA was supposed to
weed out the "woodducks".....

Me either, but apparently it's "proved" though. Just like all his claims
about me being "proved" yet no one has ever seen any of that proof :)

Combined with zero ability.

This is a bloke who reckons he had 8 jobs in 6 years as his "journeyman"
period, which is a really cool way of saying that he was *so*
incompetent that he couldn't hold a job down long enough to know where
the toilets and lunchroom were.

A *perfect* teacher in fact. Big on theory, but utterly fucking hopeless
when it came to practical effort.

And, because of that, stuffs up the practice. Take Les' 4AGE(20) engine
outcome as the *perfect example* of what Darren's lack of theoretical
understanding of the intricacies of engines can lead to..
On that point, Daryl, supposedly trained and qualified, *couldn't* work
out how to do the piston to valve clearance check. That is such a
fundamental check on any engine where you are modifying anything,
especially critical clearances such as piston to valve. Easy to see why
he left the trade and found his vocation in cleaning.

Puir wee Daryl, the bloke who couldn't handle working in the motor trade
casting aspersions on those of us who did and who actually *progressed*
in the trade. Ever been in a post 1980 apprentice motor mechanics class
Daryl? I'll give ou a hint, they are *all* practical classes. The theory
is interspersed with the practical tasks the apprentices do. It's
nothing like the system you or I trained under.

As for hands on experience, it was the *variety* and the *extent* of my
hands on trade experience that got me the teaching job. The people who
diss trade theory are the ones who don't understand it and, notably in
your case, get forced out of the trade into something better suited to
their intellectual capabilities. You went into *cleaning*! Nuff said.

You banging on about trade relevance, especially that of others, doesn't
make you trade relevant Darren. FFS, you couldn't even get to first
base, an apprenticeship. Worse, you had to *invent* your own trade
qualifications and create what *you perceived* as your trade relevance
by inventing a career in the automotive trade. Hey, that year you
*claim* to have spent as a dealer service manager, that was a real
pisser. What about your *invented* 15 years in your own business. Funny
how no records of it exist, eh? Just like your claimed trade
qualifications, they don't exist either - except in your own mind.

Just keep harping on about how the simple automotive maths is beyond
your ken Darren.

Big differences Darren - but I was talking about discs needing boosters
whilst drums, if given enough shoe factor, worked quite capably without.

Well, this proves me right;

It's you with the fingers in the ear Darren. BTW, have fun with the
maths involved with shoe factor and friction - way beyond your ken.

You have no clue of the concept Darren. But then, you're not smart

You just keep showing that you never ever saw the inside of an
apprentice trade classroom Darren. Especially one for motor mechanics in
the 80s. No theory classrooms Darren, all prac work.

Or anyone who has completed an automotive trade apprenticeship, like me.

Ask yourself, how is it he pretends he 'remembers' the smallest details
from 30 years ago but has no idea on the apprenticeship process and what
is involved in earning a trade certificate?

It's most inconvenient for him that I did my apprenticeship only a few
years after he claims he did his and the course material and stages were
still the same as when he supposedly did his - but somehow he has no
idea about any of it. Xeno clicked onto this as well, unsurprisingly, as
he was a lecturer teaching it!

That there is no record of him completing an automotive mechanical
apprenticeship or his claimed 20 year membership of the VACC comes as no
surprise then.

Of course he will dispute this but then he won't post verifiable
evidence of his claims either... when he could instantly shut us down by
doing so. Gee I wonder why.

The problem is that now you can never know if his story is true,
partially true, someone else' true story, something he read and modified
or something he made up entirely. He tells so many lies that it's simply
impossible to take anything he says on face value.

Really, so how is it that you're never been employed in the trade by
anyone for any length of time? Fucking around in your home sheltered
garage doesn't count and that's all you have ever done.

He just doesn't understand how obvious he makes it that he's never
completed an apprenticeship to those who have.

No he doesn't. You have claimed you are qualified and all evidence
suggests you are not.

So prove it or be considered a fraud for ever more.

As for Jonz, he was too fucking stupid to complete an apprenticeship and
his only life achievement is a permanent rash from a steering wheel
rubbing on his fat guts.

Yeah, when he waffles on about bored students in apprentice classes, all
he is really reflecting is *his own experience* in his secondary tech
school classes. Automotive apprentice classes in Victoria were all
combined theory/prac classes. No such an animal as a theory only
classroom.

Yes, made more evident by his decrying my use of the term *level* rather
than *year*. Once the automotive apprentice system moved to self paced
competency based classes, the concept of *year levels* went out the
window. An apprentice could be doing 2nd or 3rd year work in his first
year. If the apprentice was a tad slow, he could be doing 2nd year work
in the 3rd year. The levels were simply divided up into levels 1, 2 & 3.
Even the apprentice module (syllabus) books reflected levels rather than
years.

https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/3031412
https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1678953

The above were the revised editions. I started out with the earlier
editions dated 1978.

When Darren scoffed at my use of *levels*, it alerted me to the fact he
had never done any RPL, as he would have been required to do, and proved
to me that he had never set foot in an automotive apprentice class ever.
All the rubbish he waffled on with since has served to confirm it beyond
any doubt. *Every single apprentice* received the above linked module
books, small pocket book versions plus larger A4 versions. These books
enabled the apprentice to track their progress and allowed them to
confer with their employer as to what they were doing at TAFE and what
they were going to be doing in the future. What's more, the system
provided apprentices with the ability to jump to non-consecutive modules
in the book(s), nothing was lock step as in traditional classrooms.

Darren had no clue.

Nothing at PROV, nothing on the trade database, nothing at the college

by email.

No prizes for guessing, too easy. He won't post verifiable evidence
because he can't, pure and simple.

It's quite easy, really it is. You assume anything and everything he
posts is bullshit and lies *until* and *unless* he comes up with
irrefutable *hard evidence* to the contrary. In the case of him doing
something in his workshop, then nothing less than a *video* of the
entire process will suffice. Photos tell you nothing conclusive and can
be dummied up quite easily.

Those poor teachers at Richmond Tech probably expected Darren to
*think*. Now that would have been a very hard ask.
