Happy Alfather's Day All

[poohbah]

We're not as bad as this are we?

[Citroënbender]

  Very good; I have no children so today is same old for me. Although I did email my dearest's father to wish him a good day. He'd appreciate that sort of humour on the tee shirt, just replace Alfa with "car" - too many variants.

Or maybe - supermodel?

Fathers day for me was throwing L plates on the Cayman and letting one of my boys drive it (The other boy had already driven it on L's when I first got it)

I'd love to see the look on the faces of the drivers behind a porker with L plates.

The faces of those passing us going the other way or waiting at junctions was priceless enough

[As the day goes]

Would been better if he was wearing a baseball cap and had the seat real low.

Did it get sideways? 

As an eighteen year old, my "dream burl" would have been in a track-prepped P76, or failing that, an XC Falcon hardtop, or an XY GT, or an HQ Munro.

Did it get sideways? 

No it got driven very slowly. In fact I'd say too slowly. 1 particular steep hill start resulted in an ominous rattle.

Once we got home and he'd gone inside, I went back out around the block to ensure all was well. It was of course. NO piston slap or anything. I think he'd just rattled the duel mass flywheel on the bite point while nearly stalling it.....again.

Anyone who knows duel mass will know they can sound like a truck at times. Had the same on my 350Z.

But yes, my mind first went to "OMG IMS BEARING! OMG PISTON SLAP! OMG BOTH???" but I said nothing.
