Aww get off the poor little sycophants back, he just had a really high
axle ratio. It did mean that he had to slip the clutch for half a
kilometre every time he started off of course.

Well it did embarrass a bunch of other drivers, it had the 2ZZ-GE engine
giving 141Kw with a 6 speed box and looked just like the poverty pack
version. It surprised a lot of people.

They may well have given their apprentices *supplementary training* but
*all* auto machining apprentices had to attend Richmond TAFE for 960
hours once the Gwynne Street campus opened around 1978. Sure, Repco
could do *supplementary training* over and above the requirements of the
apprenticeship. Repco can also offer in-house training to process
workers who *operate* machinery. But apprentices have to attend TAFE for
those 960 hours, or less if they complete all their schoolwork early.

As an example of large enterprises doing supplementary apprentice
training, I can point to *Matec* which was the *Holden* apprentice
training centre at Fishermans Bend. Any Holden dealership apprentice
spent a lot of their first year at Matec down at Fishermans Bend but
*all* of them spent 320 hours at TAFE in their first year, usually one
day a week or block release where it was 1 week every 4 or 5 weeks. The
TAFE training was *core*. From about 1980, there were very few day
release students in TAFE automotive. The employer, in this case Holden
dealerships through Matec, were *directed* by the ITC to send their
apprentices to various TAFE colleges which offered motor mechanics. One
of the Matec trainers, Adrian L, moved to Batman Automotive and
eventually transferred to the Richmond campus. What I learnt from Adrian
was that Matec training was very intense and very Holden specific. I
have also been to the Matec site in the 80s and the Holden development
labs nearby. That would be all consigned to history now.
Bottom line, had you done an auto machining apprenticeship, you would
most definitely have spent 960 hours over three years at the Gwynne
Street campus of Richmond TAFE. All of Repco's auto machinist
apprentices did from the day that campus opened for business right up
until they closed it down and moved everything over to the new Docklands
campus. But you were never an apprentice, of any type, nor did you
attend TAFE as an apprentice ever in your life since no apprentice cards
exist in your name at PROV. But that much is self evident since you have
no idea how auto apprentice training has been conducted at Vic TAFE
since the beginning of the eighties. What's more, you prove you have no
trade qualifications by your point blank refusal to stump up any proof.
And you know you would just love to flash them out and say; "read it and
weep boys"! It must really eat into your soul that you can't offer up
the simplest of proofs, a *unique* trade registration number, or two.

Ah, but I did, and some here have seen *proof*. Know what proof is
Darren? You must since you run away from supplying any proof of your claims.

No, Darren, you're merely *claiming* to be an auto machinists and Grumpy
is responding to your claim. He has seen no proof now will he ever see
any proof since there isn't any. You aren't an auto machinist and you
have no papers to show.

In the early days, mechanics were trained in *some* of the basics of
auto machining, cylinder reboring for instance, but the tasks that
required higher levels of expertise in machining skills, such as crank
and cam grinding, were carried out in machine shops and the people doing
the work were qualified fitter/machinists. Auto machining is a vertical
specialisation of the fitting/machining trade.

It was never killed off and is still offered at the new campus at the
Docklands. There was a bit of a shortage of students during the late 90s
but neither the trade nor the classes at TAFE were ever killed off.

Sadly for you Darren, I was working in the trade when you were in short
pants and flunking year 9 thereby crippling your chances of ever getting
an apprenticeship - in anything.

Yes you are. How about some proof of *your* claims?

I answered that in another post but the reality is, Darren's
narcissistic ego wouldn't allow him to do anything other than claim all
as his own work. FFS, he buys a restored car, fixes up a few minor
details, then puts it in a *car show*? That truck is little more than a
cheque book restoration since he purchased it pretty much complete and
finished. He's showing off someone else's work, how crass is that?

He's more interested in mentioning "Tik Tok girls" (In reality people
paid to promote the car show and taking pictures of all the cars) then
the safety of his child that he's morally and legally responsible for.
