I know it is not the same for an employed mechanic working in a garage, and his labour being charged at 60/80/120 an hour, but I suspect it ain’t that different, in what the mechanic takes home every hour.

eg, the employed mechanic couldn’t afford to be a customer at the place he works, at customer rates…

A mechanic being closer to 50 quid an hour, ain’t worth the time i’d have to work to pay him, even if the guy could supposedly fix a car more efficiently than me. The current leverage
and taxation system fucks over the division of labor like that, innit?

eg, not call in the tech, the cable guy, the garage guy, the computer guy, the sink tap washer guy, the laundry guy, etc.

Amazing how much people are prepared to accept the opposite, and how little they can actually do, for most it seems they are barely able to dress themselves, but hey, they are all awesome and live amazing lives and all that jazz…

Aka two lead acid batteries.
I drive a FFR landy.
I can start everything with everything, and power a 24v ups off of anything, innit. And it’ll even run the clansman radio off of say the UPS.
And yes, that includes the NAS . You’d be suprised how much old NATO stuff is standardized to 24v, proper engineering that is.

Thing is, i do this crap for basically the above set of reasons. Sure the car might not be fancy, and you might not be able to start it by hand, but grab any 24v battery w/ an anderson
connector and you’re good to go. Aint like i got a dozen of those laying around the house or anything.
