    Default Driving lessons part 1

    So I took oldest son for his 2nd time out in the car.
    He is very confident and I have no need to be worried about his ability as he has driven Karts etc.
    His first time out was in an industrial estate and I was impressed with his car control/ braking and such.
    Driving Lesson #1
    is for parents.

    Its all ahead of you Greg.

    My 3 oldest all drove home from the motor registry the day they got their Learner's permits.

    Admittedly in an automatic car, but gutsy nontheless.

    The value of living on a farm with motor bikes etc etc.

    Ouch Greg... I guess they weld em up and powder coat them again... no doubt they charge for the coating, I find a good thing to do is run on stockies and then call the powder coaters, ask when they are doing a colour you find acceptable. Take em down when they are and pay them in beer or cash or both. I had a set of 4 done for AU$50 once.
