I hear you on the experts. I’ve taken time (years) out from car hobbies in the past when the clamour of idiots dribbling half-baked nonsense drowned my enjoyment. You take their “advice” in good faith and it shunts your down a rabbit-hole of fictional irrelevance.

Had an imported car with a coach built body, everyone was an “expert” about where it had been built. I looked up the business in Sands’ Sydney Directory to check the address, confirmed over several years. Not only were they wrong by about 2km but the coach builder’s premises still existed (as a furniture shop)! You could even see the original driveway into the street.
