Les,

I've gone through a stage where I would have bound or gagged one or two of mine..

Bernie, I have two kids, eldest is a son in his late 20's, and a daughter in her mid 20's, and neither have ever gotten into any major strife.

Son has/is involved in lots of sports and like your son Tod, can pedal a car pretty well. Not as well as his Dad, but he's getting there.

Daughter is just bluddy fantastic. Played netball for state team. School captain etc. To finish her Office Admin certificate had to do 14 days work experience. Employer was prominent legal firm and they wouldn't let her go after the 2 weeks. She now is their Admin manager.

But, you know what they say....insanity is . Hereditary, it's caused by kids.

Thats my excuse anyways.

Oi, Uncle Wasp,

Me thinks you should be careful in pokein fun at us Dads.

Any-one who drives an air-sea rescue yellow car and wears colour co-ordinated shirts and helmet is leavin themselves open to some very serious flak.


Cheers

Default Yellow and black goes with the sting

Don't know how I was making funny stuff. Got five kids, three daughters in law, another daughter in law coming up soon in October luckily at the end of the month. Currently got six grand kids,

The yellow is so that other people can see me because I have trouble seeing them lol

Mate...seems like you should have bought a cobra earlier. That would have kept you in the shed.

Default Three years in the shed

Kept me in the shed for three years until Aug 2004. After Winton at Easter it is and I am back in the shed with the motor and gearbox being renovated. Keeps the wife happy though.

Don Stafford and Doug Pearce have joined forces to upgrade the motor and the gear box is getting an overhaul.

When the car was blue there were a number of times I had to avoid cars that did not see me. When the yellow came along it is actually a lot safer colour.

Cheers

Default Colour

I looked at all the colours, even green, anything other than the usual blue and red and seeing my brother had already the silver with red stripe I needed something different.

Was going straight yellow tint till the painter talked me out of it and finally ended up with Devil Yellow. Give me your opinion at Wakefield when you see her shinning butt!

You need louder exhausts then!! Hahahaha

They have to feel you coming in the deepest part of their stomach before you can even be seen...

Then they dont hit you!

By the way, our car almost ended up yellow with black - like the guy from Finishlines car.

Kudos for being different. I love it!

Carefull Kristen, most guys don't like to think of their boys as pretty. Handsome or rugged, might be more apt.

I 'had' pretty baby boys! At one day old, it's ok.... Now, my boys are 'handsome, or rugged'. He is a pretty little baby! Not all flat faced and puffy like some newborns.... but ok.... What a bruiser, Jason!
