    At 15 you might get into something like Halfords working on Apollo's :roll:

    I'm at a pretty similar age and also interested in something like this.

    Learn to make a good cup of tea (purposely making bad ones doesnt work! tried that many moons back!!) make notes if you need to, and soak up all the info you get!
    oh, and expect to be repairing inner tubes atleast once! :wink:
