Title: Question for parents
Post by: Omega man 2 on 22 February 2009, 20:55:53
My mother says that she the only person in the world that would put up with me rebuilding a cylinder head on the kitchen table :D

Would anyone else?  ::)

when I stayed with my folks i used to take engine parts up to my bedroom and have valves, bolts etc all over the floor, they "tolerated" it  ;D

Now that Im a parent, I wouldnt deny my son the experience of stripping a head on the kitchen table, some great father son bonding time to be had.

Indeed it is, but bonding is a bit of a stong word for this house. More like shouting "where the f*ck did that spring go" ;D
