I agree with scott, go to your local car shop. Get your foot in the door.
You just gotta read as much as you can to learn. Its all about experience.
You gotta know the basics of cars because at the end of the day people come to you for advice and expect you to know about products for every car listed.
That includes ppl that come in with protons and kia's and ask for bodykit.
I have a wee 15 yr old guy that works for me on weekends for nothing cos he's sooo keen on learning.

You've got to ask yourself whether you can see yourself in car modifying long term. Sure, it may seem like a top idea now but will you still be keen 10 years down the line. When I was a kid I wanted to work in a toy shop but I certainly wouldn't like to now! Make sure its not just a phase.

Yeah will your attitude towards cars mature and you may not be interested in extreme designs etc anymore?
