Default Daddy's little hrlper

Doing the obligatory oil and water checks on the S8 and XC90 yesterday. After deciding the washer bottles needed filling, I grab the water bottle (because I don't have the watering can!) and this little voice says "I want to do it, let me do it, Daddy, p-l-e-a-s-e"... How can I refuse that!

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!

Sold:
1997 Audi A4
- Hamilton's Club Sport, Achat Grey (will miss the old girl)

My nephew would run a mile every time I mentioned working on the car!

Good one, learning useful stuff, and you get to share time with that gorgeous little imp. Lucky you

Excellent. So nice to have the kids help. My son loves topping up washer fluid and checking tyre pressures. Quite the event.

That is very cool
There is a new thing, a contactless bank card for kids which you can top up each time after your child will do something extra, to teach them money management and basic work ethics from early years.
Soon I will get my little one familiar with clay mitt, basic tools and will get her busy so she can start earning some money for her toys.
Alternator change is the first item on her list
Then a full detail session.
