A BLIND car mechanic
can repair broken down vehicles - relying only
on his trusty bare
hands.Col Collewijn lost his eyesight aged eight but still manages to work his way around a curvy body with ease, according to austriantimes.at.
He said: "As long as my tools are in the right place and no screws drop to the ground I get along alone very well."
The motor expert will probably get much more up close and personal with your engine than anyone down at the local garage.
He continued: "I do everything by trusting my senses and my hearing."
And his talent isn’t just a stroke of luck either – he’s made a career out of it in Nuis, Holland, for 30 years.
He added: "And I have one big advantage over other mechanics - I can repair cars in the dark."
SINC SAYS:
You really do have to admire the human spirit whether it is flying a plane with no arms or repairing cars with no eyes.
