I am surprised you didn't get the "Why Don't You Teach Your Grandmother" comment, or how about "I Was Driving These Before You Were Even Thought Of Son!"

 

Yes, I know, I have been there

 

Your 16e will be fine mate, don't worry. I am sure that is the fathers job, to irritate the hell out of their son.

[orionmojo]

i hope so!

 

cant really complain though. he fixes it

[orionmojo]

i had that problem when i bought the mk1, i had to work so i asked my dad to pick it up. then i told him to be carefull and i get this.

 

"I used to have a lotus years ago i know what im doing"

 

so he goes off on his merry way with a friend of mine a couple of hours pass and they come into work to show it off, so i stupidly asked how did it go when my friend tells me how my dad nearly crashed the car into a brand new merc saloon as he left it to the last minute to brake.

 

since then he has only driven the car twice and even then i had to sit with him to tell him what to do and keep an eye on him!

Good news mate, I told you she would be ok!

 

My dad is of an age where I think he diliberatley winds me up. He recons it is pay back time for the grief I used to give him when I was younger.

 

I was a good boy though

[orionmojo]

nah. he knows how much effort i put into my cars.

 

 

he had a mk2 GT when he was 19 and he said he loved it, but they were hard to run then, when you gout paid £5 per week
