    You never got past the trial stage you gronk. In fact you didn't even
    meet the minimum entry requirements and you likely only did a few
    weeks work experience.

    If I didn't meet the minimum requirements they would never have given
    me a start, you fucking moron :)

    But you lie!

    No you!

    And evidently I hit that nail right on the head given your white
    noise in protest :-)

    Don't flatter yourself dickhead. About all you've been capable of
    doing in the last couple of years is repeatedly reminding everyone of
    what an ignoramus you've become.

    Why? So you can snip it out of the post and then deny proof was posted

    I would have thought you'd jump at the opportunity to prove yourself
    correct and me a liar, but apparently not :)

    Your game is up dickhead, you lose.
    Yes indeed.


    Good. You can quit yapping now and start proving your claim that you're qualified - for a start.

    Until then...

    Yes indeed. The game *is* up, and you have shown yourself to be a
    *massive* fucking shit talker. What an appalling end for the jerk
    who once declared himself to be the voice of truth and reason :)

    Well Darren, until and unless *you* come up with proof of *your
    claims*, it is you who is the massive shit talker round here. You
    haven't proven *any* of your big claims, not even to your acolytes.
    For sure you will *NEVER* be described as a voice of truth and reason. >>>>>>

    Darren, I proved my claims, you never have.

    Err no, you've lifted your skirt to the chosen few, but all that
    you've given to the rest of us is a number which could easily just
    have come out of your head.
    It was initially offered to you but you declined. Don't complain now!

    I have no desire to be a member of your chosen few, I only want to see
    it in public.

    My trade number is public, go look it up.

    A new product has just appeared on the shelves. The Easter Weasel. It's
    late, and as poorly constructed and ineffective as you'd expect anything
    from Special Schools Inc. Recommended for novelty use only and not fit
    for human consumption.

    You're damaged goods pal, and have all the credibility around here

    Darren, I proved my claims, you never have.

    Err no, you've lifted your skirt to the chosen few,

    It's a fact that Xeno is a qualified mechanic, regardless of to whom it
    has, or to whom it hasn't been proven

    And the puir wee Darren is *still* claiming I was never a teacher at
    Richmond TAFE. You, and others, have seen irrefutable proof that I was.

    but all that you've given to the rest of us is a number which could
    easily just have come out of your head.

    and you're at liberty to establish for yourself that that is not the case

    It is public. An email to the relevant body would establish the truth in
    short order - just like I did with Darren's claim to be a VACC member.
    Never heard of him or his businesses they said! I knew that! I also know
    that I have *MY* actual trade certificate right next to my desk here.
    Unlike Darren's, it doesn't up and disappear when threatened with
    *exposure* because mine is the real deal. Darren's trade papers are
    figments of his delusions.


    That makes *you* the damaged goods round here. You need to cease and
    desist with the projection, it's making you look more of a tool than
    you actually are - if that is even humanly possible!


    I'm betting it's not

    Well, there you go - it's in public - 15239/68/4679C - again. You see,
    the number above, and the name to which it is attached (mine) are public information. The rest of the information on the document *is not public* information and will not be displayed here. Since the number is unique
    and attached to only one person, a query sent in the right direction
    will confirm the two are inextricably linked. This is the reason Darren

    You would lose that bet bigtime!

    My number is real, it is genuine, it is linked to me, and you don't have
    one. I know this because there is no evidence on the trade database or
    at PROV to indicate you ever did any apprenticeship nor ever even
    completed one - no evidence at all. Of course even your acolytes know it
    would be piss easy for you to shoot me down in flames if you actually
    had a trade qualification - but you defy logic in not slapping said
    proof down on the table and saying "read 'em and weep boys".

    If he was genuine he could also tell us where to search for that record,
    a Google search comes up with nothing, very likely its too old to be on
    line so someone would need to go to a records office possibly in Tasmania?
    By itself the number is worthless.

    Just for interest maybe he could tell us what mechanical work he has
    done recently?
    For example, 2 days ago I diagnosed a possible stretched timing chain on
    a VE, a couple of days before that I used my inspection camera to
    inspect the diff in one of Les's race cars, the hardening on the CW&P
    has failed so we removed it, the new CW&P has arrived and we are
    rebuilding it on Friday.
    The week before that I rebuilt a gearbox from a 2007 Hilux, looks like
    it had never been serviced so the oil had turned to sludge, the thrust
    washer behind 5th gear failed taking out 5th gear syncro, took most of
    one day just to clean it all, 3 weeks to get the parts which had to come
    from Japan.
    The week before that I changed the gearbox oil in my Porsche which isn't
    as simple as it should be and even requires special tools.
    I almost forgot, I also changed the rear shocks on the Golf:-)

    Well, there you go - it's in public - 15239/68/4679C - again. You
    see, the number above, and the name to which it is attached (mine)
    are public information. The rest of the information on the document
    *is not public* information and will not be displayed here. Since
    the number is unique and attached to only one person, a query sent
    in the right direction will confirm the two are inextricably linked.
    This is the reason Darren is unable to post any old random number up
    as *his evidence*, or use somebody else's since I will check up and
    verify anything he provides!

    means nothing, it could anything, or just made up.

    It is up to you to check it out. You have the evidence, go verify!




    Keith denies any evidence and then claims there isn't any - just like
    that dickhead he enables.

    Not a shred of honesty or integrity between the pair of them.

    If he was genuine he could also tell us where to search for that record,

    a Google search comes up with nothing, very likely its too old to be on

    It was awarded to me in 73, nothing 1974 or before is online in Tasmania -
    and that I was told by a person from Tasmania here who worked at our local Centrelink.

    line so someone would need to go to a records office possibly in Tasmania?

    Do what companies have been doing for years and years, use an email or
    phone. Get with the times man!

    By itself the number is worthless.

    That little number is invaluable! Darren would dearly love to have even

    I'm usually in my workshop every day doing something or other. Aty the

    air filter adapter to fit a Weber 32/36 carb to it's engine to replace

    Do I consider myself a "mechanic" or "trade relevant" for doing all

    You boast of being so! But you aren't qualified and you aren't trade

    For the past couple of decades and more, that's all you've been doing,
    amusing yourself in your shed. That in no way makes you relevant to the automotive trade.

    I last worked as a mechanic in 2022 on a Nissan GTR gearbox. That was

    Well Mr. "All the gear, no idea" - you have never had any relevance to
    the trade and you're not even qualified FFS.

    Fucking around in your little hobby shop counts for nothing.

    Aside from this red herring being aired yet *again*, one could reflect
    upon what the difference in "relevance" is between someone hasn't worked
    on a car in 40ish years, and someone who does hobby work on vehicles
    which are 40ish years old.

    Darren, you couldn't even get to first base in an apprenticeship - ie.
    signed up to one, so you calling yourself relevant to the motor trade
    just beggars belief. You have *never* been relevant to the automotive
    trade. At best, you can be described as a *car enthusiast*. You claim
    you are qualified but you have never come up with proof and the lack of archives at PROV *in your name* explains why the proof is absent - you
    don't have any proof for one simpe reason - *none exists* - and it never
    did.

    I have never had to lie about my qualifications, nor ever felt a need
    to, they are what they are - and I have the papers. You, however, lie
    about having qualifications that you were never even qualified to enter
    into - like passes in year 9 for instance. You squibbed year 9 by your
    *own admission*, remember? FFS, you have no idea even how the
    apprenticeship system in Victoria works, especially AME apprenticeships.
    You had no idea even what was in the apprentice curriculum. You can get
    away with that shit talking among your fellow losers but it doesn't cut
    the mustard amongst people like myself who spent decades in the trade
    and in the apprentice training system.

    on a hard drive in the Xeno folder, with other evidence of his

    that Xeno is a qualified mechanic (keefy for instance) would have to

    You have a "Xeno" folder? :)

    LOL, that's comical:-)

    Nah, what's really comical that Loonsey has a "Xeno" folder.

    This shit gets more surreal by the minute :)


    He can't even understand what people post, Keith did not say that Xeno wasn't a qualified mechanic just that the number he provided is
    meaningless on its own.

    But Felix has seen where that number came from, and has verified that
    *fact* here.

    Logic is completely lost on you, isn't it Felix? :)

    What Keith (and Daryl) were saying is that posting the number *in

    with a comment along the lines of "this number can be verified by

    The dumb shits don't seem to realise that the training in an
    *apprenticeship* is both off the job (college) and on the job (trade experience). In my case the ratio of off the job to on the job was 10:1.
    IOW, most of the apprenticeship was actually doing work on cars in the workshop. Sure, we did have exams twice a year per subject at college
    but did a heap of practical stuff in the form of training at the college
    as well. So, it would be fair to say that the primary mode of assessment
    was *on the job*. If you didn't stuff much up, showed you could do the
    work, understood and applied the theory, and worked *efficiently*, you received your Certificate of Efficiency. And I did.

    Of *very* little use in the *real* world!.

    Bullshit! I told you where you could go to verify my number and *how*;
    phone, email on-line, letter, etc. What I actually said was I have never
    had the need to verify *my own number* or, for that matter, any other registration number *from* Tasmania. I have my certificate with the
    number printed on it.

    meaningless. What the mental case should have done was post the number
    with a comment along the lines of "this number can be verified by
    calling or emailing this department".

    It's not hard....

    But I did do exactly that! In fact I did my own birth certificate
    application *on-line* because I knew where to do that. I even rang the archives due to what I perceived as an error on my birth certificate. I
    found the phone number on the BD&M website. I also posted links to sites
    in Tasmania where a trade certificate search could be commenced. But I
    have never needed to do it. For Victoria, I'm the full bottle on it
    since I was doing it for *decades* as part of my TAFE role.

    Maybe he thinks someone is going to fly to Hobart or where ever the

    The only one anal enough to do such a thing is him, I actually feel

    isolation* without any reference to where one could go to *verify* it
    is meaningless. What the mental case should have done was post the
    number with a comment along the lines of "this number can be verified
    by calling or emailing this department".

    It's not hard....



    Maybe he thinks someone is going to fly to Hobart or where ever the
    records are kept just so they could attempt to prove that his number
    means anything.

    There is no need for anyone to go to Hobart. I gave links to various organisations where my bona fides may be verified. How do you think
    employers check up on prospective employees qualifications? They do rush
    off interstate or, for that matter, internationally? It used to be done primarily by phone, these days email or online works as well. FFS, you
    can even *write a letter*.

    The only one anal enough to do such a thing is him, I actually feel
    sorry for anyone who is so OCD that they could spend their time and
    money traveling to a dusty old records office just so they could put
    shit on you.

    Sorry to disappoint, no OCD required. I have been doing research at PROV
    and the State Library for decades - since the 80s. That's why I know my
    way around the archives. I even have my *government researcher login*
    ID. I used to look up records for the college, and I used to do private research for myself. I still go through the online catalogs even now for
    my own research. Back in 2019, I was In Melbourne for a graduation
    ceremony anyway and I had some time to kill so I used it fruitfully
    doing some of my own research and checking up on Darren's claims.
    Research on Darren's bullshit claims took longer to set up online at
    home than it did to sift through the actual documents in the boxes at
    PROV. And I'd ordered out my full complement of boxes (10 IIRC).

    He can call himself whatever he likes, but just because he chooses to do

    No magic involved. He's a qualified mechanic for life. You'll never be a qualified mechanic.

    He was a "mechanic" a long time ago.
    Today he's just a retired old mouthpiece with delusions of grandeur.


    You're not qualified, have zero actual trade experience and have been

    And what has this to do with the 'charge' of you lying about being qualified? (And shedloads of other things).

    Here's the rub for Darren. If I wanted to regain currency, I can and it wouldn't involve much. Darren, OTOH, can't suddenly conjure up a trade certificate, got to earn those things, so he will always be a fraud.

    FWIW, I knew Darren was unqualified long before I checked up on his bona fides. When he began harping on about *trade experience* and even *trade relevance* in an attempt to defray questions on his *qualifications*, it became obvious he'd never been within cooee of any apprenticeship ever.
    He made it even worse for himself when he displayed scant knowledge on
    how the apprenticeship system worked in Victoria. FFS, he didn't even
    know that REPCO *sent all* their auto machining apprentices to Richmond
    TAFE, the only college in all of Victoria that had a training facility
    set up specifically for auto machining. But I did love it when he didn't
    even know that AME apprentices did 1280 hours at college over 4 years
    yet he claims he completed all his college work after 3 years. Even
    better, his mate Daryl shopped him by providing a link to that evidence
    and other evidence that made it clear that apprenticeships could not be
    done back to back in Victoria prior to 1992 when the laws were changed
    to allow it. With mates like Daryl, Darren doesn't need enemies.

    For the record, the archives at PROV are not a dusty old records office.
    The archives are maintained in a climate controlled building. Even the
    reading room is clean and climate controlled with facilities for
    recording data. I have spent a lot of time there since it first opened
    in 2004. Prior to that I used to spend time in the reading room at the
    State Library and a small reading room in Flinders Lane.

    A 1996 inquiry into the Public Record Office recommended a
    new purpose-built facility to be located less than 5km
    from the CBD, and so in 1998 it was announced a new archives
    building would be built on the former Government Printer and
    Gas and Fuel site in North Melbourne. A major project to
    design and build the Victorian Archives Centre, and then
    relocate from Laverton began. The building itself was
    officially opened to staff on 9 November 2000, with the
    Harry Nunn reading room opening to the public a few years later.

    operate a mechanical repair business of any kind.

    The actual quote was, "... or operate a repair business in Victoria
    without appropriate trade qualifications and licenses."

    nb. *and licenses*

    Not that it matters Fraudster as, once again, the charge is that you repeatedly lied about being qualified. How about sticking to that.

    And, IIRC, Darren quite recently claimed to work on AC. Now there's a
    problem with that - for him. In order to attain said Automotive AC
    licence, one needs to be a *qualified tradesman*. The reason - a non
    tradesman cannot apply to do the course, no qualifications, no sign up!
    The course needs to be completed and passed before a licence is granted.
    Back in ~2000, I had to do an update course to keep my AC licence
    *current*. Rather than do the short update course, I opted to do the
    entire course as a means of maintaining my currency on AC generally.
    There had been rather a lot of new tech applied to AC by 2000 so I saw
    the full course as a means of bringing me up to date on new trends. If I wanted to work on AC now, I suspect I would need to do the entire course again, and then some. For instance, EVs have a completely different AC
    system and it is driven by a brushless 400-800V DC electric motor
    integrated into the scroll type compressor. Standard compressors use a
    PAG oil but not EV motor/compressors, they use a POE oil and if you use
    PAG oil, even traces of PAG oil, you risk burning out the motor windings
    - 400-800V DC is serious shit when it comes to blasting its way through insulation.

    You see, in the motor trade, it's all a matter of knowing how the system works, and, importantly, knowing what *not to do* to avoid disasters.
    That's why motor mechanics do apprenticeships - on the job training, and
    after qualification, continual updates to skills and qualifications. Not
    to mention training and updates to licences.

    A modern motor mechanic's life is one of continual training and
    upskilling. That simply isn't possible for a recluse in a tin shed.
    That's why you see people like Darren creating disasters for people like
    Les because they have little understanding of concepts like valve
    lofting, float & bounce and the related ramifications of thinner head
    gaskets. FFS, the clown couldn't even work back to the *specific* origin
    of the valve failure. How the hell would Darren know what to do with a
    closed system like an EV AC system with its DC motors and totally
    different compressor systems and lubricant? Can you just imagine the
    disasters that lay in wait for narcissistic clowns like him!

    The motor trade throughout Australia needs licencing to keep nuff nuffs
    like Daren away from cars.

    You can't remember what you ate for dinner on any given day last

    I hereby state to all and sundry that I have seen a scan of said

    of Tasmania dated in 1973. not only have I seen it but I have said
    scan on a hard drive in the Xeno folder, with other evidence of his >>>>> achievements. So any dickhead here who wishes to deny or question
    that Xeno is a qualified mechanic (keefy for instance) would have
    to call me a liar.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ˙"Certificate of Efficiency" "Qualified". Yeah sure, read as "has
    sufficient memory capacity to pass a written test of said memory"..

    no dumbass. it certifies that he's a trained (qualified) motor mechanic.
    it specifically states "..attained the standard of education AND trades experience prescribed by the Apprentices Act.."

    Of *very* little use in the *real* world!.

    have fun applying for a job that requires it then. wotsa matter jonsey?
    are you (like noddy) jealous because you don't have one?


    In the real world those qualifications are *required* to be shown to
    even be considered for a job as a qualified motor mechanic or your
    resume goes straight in the bin - as a timewaster. Experience is
    considered on top of being qualified but without qualifications
    experience counts for absolutely nothing by itself.

    Those two clowns have absolutely no fucking idea and are stuck in the 70's.

    Any employer would consider the liability implications in hiring someone
    who is not qualified to performs a role where qualifications are a requirement. The fact they don't think it matters proves they have never
    run a legitimate business. Do employers check qualifications? Absolutely!




    You have a "Xeno" folder? :)

    This shit gets more surreal by the minute :)

    And always that check happens way before the chosen few are called to interview.
