jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 I love my new old E39. I've never really cared about cars before but now I do. Unfortunately, I know jack sh*t about how to fix them. I've already had some awesome help from Bimmersport members and there are a heap of people on here who know their stuff. There may already be a thread somewhere about this, so please point me in the right direction if there is. If not, I think it would be a great idea for everyone to share their skills - especially if know-nothings like me can pay you to share your skills on my car when it f*cks up! If we could have those listed by region... Even better! Maybe we can even trade a few skills. I don't have many skills when it comes to cars but I do think I've got a little bit of taste. So I'm happy to share my advice when it comes to modifying your vehicles to help prevent you creating nightmares like this: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 I know how to use bing, google, ask jeeves and any other type of search engine. Then somehow I convert that into motivation and eventually piece together a working ethic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
