ask a yoof of today to wire a plug up or change a fuse or change a flat tyre and they will look at you funny and reach for a smartphone ap to get somone out to do it for them at ruinous expence

There are many people of all ages who can’t do those things, it’s not just the young and like us all they need somebody to teach them first.
There are still many youngsters in sheds and garages tinkering with cars, motorbikes or even computers and electronics. Ok when they roll out with thier pimped up machine, most of us will go “what the [zb] have you done to that” :laughing: but we need to remember the crap we thought was “cool” at their age.

yeah like me.

first big project (not including bikes)

then

(just after i painted it)

and more recently.

so dont generalise
ive been working on my own vehicles since i was 16.

i built a gokart out of 2 bicycles and some steel when i was 11.

All credit to you although I would have to say the number of young lads (and old lads) modding Land Rovers etc. and the like has been in decline for a long time. It might be that they’re just not interested but there are other factors like not being able to afford a house so nowhere to put it.
