This, and Quake.
The Renault 19 '89-'96 (particularly the 16V model). Show me any single part off one and I'll be able to tell you exactly what it is, where it's from and whether there were any other variants 😳
Useful, I know.
Sand control in deep water horizontals.
land rover (sI/II/III and 90//110) variants

I don't get out much...
I recently attended a course in marine archeology. During the course, various slides were shown with the question "anyone know what this is?"
I surprised myself (and the people I was with) with an ability to identify military shipwrecks eg HMS Royal Oak from a sonar side scan, HMS M1 from a surface photo and X-Craft from the remains on a beach.
People regularly talk to me in depth about steam trains. I am not an expert but do tend to nod knowingly so they keep talking. If half of what I've been told had sunk in, I'd be expert.
Digital diagnostic imaging - pretty sh*t hot there if I do say so myself.

I also used to know a bit about screw threads and engineeringy type things.
I'm old, so I can't remember anything about anything these days!
As a 'doing' rather than 'knowing' thing: I'm oft complemented on my van packing abilities. Got a contract at the moment to tour an exhibition that has over 200 delicate components. I can get it into a swb transit - packed to the roof with barely cubic inch to spare. But it'll only go in if I pack it, when I subcontract the job I have to give the subcontractee a 14ft luton.
Did you play a lot of Tetris as a kid?
Work wise, I know far too much about how Symantec product licensing works.
