So who is a mechanic

What I did learn at college...college teaches you nothing.

I don't agree there, it covered a wide range of basics for me. BUT was intended to be followed with an apprenticeship so doesn't need to go into too much detail.

Of course I've learnt far more since then, mainly by breaking and fixing various cars, and reading forums on the toilet... But college definitely set down a basic understanding imo.
