My boy is 2 And a half. So far he loves crawling all over the cars. He
has a particular affi ity for his grandmum's Spitfire, but I think
that's because it's the smallest car in the collection.
My daughter (11) is getting more interested, but her attention span
is, well, lacking. :)
The wife's even out here learning, but I believe her enthusiasm would
be ,uch greater if we had a '69 Challenger in the garage.
These days, the challenge is getting me into the garage. Muscle/joint
issues keep me laid up more often than not these days.
Perhaps I need to drag a lazy boy out to the garage an supervise. ;)
