Re Abbie as a motor mechanic. If I remember right, she learned about while in prison.I can't remember how long she was in prison, but my DS1 became an apprentice motor mechanic on leaving school at 16 and it was all over a year before he was fully qualified and that included working in a garage on all types of vehicles.Also that garage of Kevin's is a complete joke. It always looks spotlessly clean, likewise the mechanics'overalls, not a spot of oil on them.They go to the Rovers or lunch break, all of them at once, then come back and work on cars after downing alcohol. The machinists in the factory do the same.
