My old man is mechanic by trade. The weekends i spent in the garage with him rebuilding my first car still shine as some of the brightest of my teenage years. Problem is being a young buck you don't realise how much it meant till years later.

[@aurtherbrunt241]

Very True. Same here.

[@TorqHub]

Deep regret for the days I respectfully declined giving the old man a hand to do other meaningless shit instead.

[@MikeStubbsRace]

Nice words, similar experience for myself 👌👌

[@Azurek82]

Yea i agree my old man wasn't even a mechanic but he helped me engine swap my 2nd car after i wrote off the 1st, was a memorable time. That i only later realise is what i want to do my my kids now , big project good times :)

[@butchdeadlift7551]

I wish I had had that. My dad was handy but didn't really care about cars. I taught myself.

100%. love seeing fathers get their kids into cars. Can't wait to do the same!

[@sw96]

It was good to see the boys asking questions, if you don't ask you don't learn.

[@OriginalMomo]

This is the episode I’ve been waiting for lol... This is the right way to learn about the car you’ll be driving. Make him do everything, with explanation and advice. He might roll his eyes now, but down the line he’ll understand. Listen to the old man, kid. He’s the Yoda.

[@mikeysgarage3697]

Too right, it's probably the best way to teach some mechanical sympathy too, learning how much work's involved in replacing parts that they'll likely bugger up if they drive like idiots.

[@sw96]

@@mikeysgarage3697 I first learnt some mechanical sympathy from my Dad showing me the invoice for the clutch replacement on our family car, to be fair the clutch had done ~150,000km of service plus taught two kids how to drive so it was due. My sympathy has only grown since then, considering I've done all my own car maintenance and repairs for nearly 20 years now that shouldn't surprise anyone.

[@page11racing89]

I like that his mate is there to learn too.

Ouch man... My condolences!

[@mrcaps1971]

Making memories! That's what good parents do for their kids. Well done Al, Woody and Groms. I remember working on cars with my dad who was a fitter and turner for 52 years. He arrived as an immigrant from Italy to this wonderful country ours. His passion was Moto Guzzi, Alfa Romeos and Lancias. We built a few cars and engines together. My first a heavily modified 2.6 litre turbo Sigma and the second a full house 302 Windsor converted TE Cortina. He's no longer with us, rest his soul, and the cars are long gone. The beautiful memories remain of weekends spent with him. Even the memories of messing things up and he would call me a "chooch" which means donkey in Italian. Good times! Love your work gentlemen!

[@dadiksm5729]

My dad was a racer back in the day, i spent whole of my childhood watching him tuning his cars. believe me it’s best memories i’ve ever had.

SO AWESOME seeing you working with your son!! Good dad

[@aaronvienot]

Good on ya for putting the boy in and under his car's moving bits. Neither my dad nor myself are mechanics by trade, but I frequently watched him repair the family vehicles on Saturdays to save a few bucks, and when I finally picked up a wrench and started working on my own vehicles for the same reasons, it all fell into place. Dad is getting up there now, but I still use his garage as a workspace sometimes, and still ask him for advice on things I haven't done before. Expect your boy will do the same.

[@grindstonegarage]

Nothing better than wrenching on your car with your old boy. Have learnt so much from mine as your lad is learning from you Al

[@scarface-39]

You're a great Dad Al. I remember watching my Dad changing a piston & liner in a 1961 Standard Vanguard in the back shed in 1966 in Oxley, Brisbane where I grew up.
