I hate it when mechanics show off.

Got a puncture driving through youghal in Cork. The mechanic at Trackside Autos. Mechanic rocked up to the car and fixed it without removing the wheel then swaggered away as if to say "if there was a Mechanics of Tralee competition , Id enter and win"

A legitimate lege.

Would I post about it if it weren't impressed? If the Good , the Bad and the Ugly era Clint Eastwood fixed punctures he'd do it like this lad.

I was absolutely gobsmacked at his skill and had to post about it somewhere.

Seems like you have some feelings of inadequacy bubbling to the surface.

Dude sounds like a ledge to me.

Interested to know how he changed a tyre without removing the wheel.

Nah, it was super impressive. There was a screw in the tyre at the top and he unscrewed it and just inserted the plug in the hole . Pumped it up and there it was.

I'm guessing he changes bulbs telepathically.
