Andy Mechanic - You Tube
« on: January 14, 2021, 08:24:20 AM »
Does anybody follow Andy Mechanic on You Tube?
During lockdown, I’ve been bingeing on Allen Millyard videos and came across Andy Mechanic. He’s a Yorkshire lad I think, living in New Zealand and works as a lecturer. He is fault finding on a friend’s CB750 at the moment and the video on chasing a weak spark is really good as he explains things really well for electrical dummies like me. There are over 300 videos; goes on a bit so they are a bit lengthy and also has scantily dressed young women walking around doing some tasks – obviously to bump up the number of subscribers (gets more money off You Tube see).

Worth a watch.
Stay safe.

maybe coz the video was encoded in New Zealand...it's on the other side of the globe, so its the right way up there. ....

Nowt on TV last night so checked out his live chat.

Asked if he hails from East Yorkshire .. He replied between period 14m:48s and 19m:25s. Seems a decent chap  ;D

You can take the lad out of East Yorkshire but the the old accent is unmistakable. (I suppose he's North Yorkshire/East Yorkshire technically  from his description of the places he grew up).

Suggested in an email he joins us on here.
