Ahhh...so you'll subscribe to the school of thought that allows "textbook engineers" to come out of university with a degree, call themselves engineers and then have the real engineers pick up the pieces behind them?
It's a bit like IT bods with MCSEs thinking they know it all.
So Tony - you're a coach. Teach me to go fast then. :P
