Torq Zone Academy Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 What would be really good is if they could do 1 week short course for owners.We will be offering a 2 day Home Mechanic course for the enthusiast. Alternatively, if the home mechanic wants a much more in depth understanding they can attend the Home Mechanic Plus course of 5 days along with the Cytech Technical 2 learners. All details regarding the above will be made available shortly. LOSMEICHERIE, Pusher, ians H2Sport and 12 others 15

SurferChild Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Those UK prices converted to Randellas look helluva expensive Skylark 1
Sepia Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Those prices are seriously expensive. Unacceptably expensive, Will certainly not attend if this is what it costs.
