Changed the pads of my car by myself

[Raffy.Roma]

I was envious of my American TMC friends who changed the brake pads of their cars by themselves. So today I asked to Mariano, a friend of mine who is a professional car mechanical, to act as supervisor while I changed the brake pads of my mother's car.
I performed the work of changing the brake pads well and eventually Mariano told me: "Congratulations Raffy. You made a good job"

excellent and as you saw it was not too difficult. With two driving boys I get to practice a lot.

Thank you David. And next week I am also going to change the oil and the filters to my car by myself (always under the supervision of Mariano).

Nice going Raffy.

When I read your post, for some reason this old joke popped into my head:

Heaven Is Where:

The French are the chefs
The Italians are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time

Hell is Where:

The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
The Italians make everything run on time
And the Germans are the police

I do this several times a season on my track car. As you say it's actually very easy to do basic brake service.
