[@1Welshguy]

Best life lesson a dad can give, it’ll make road craft so much easier when she doesn’t have to concentrate on getting it moving and gear changes

[@denisdunphy9046]

Chris You Are An Amazing Dad, I`ve watched You from the Start, Your A Top Guy ...

[@w388y1]

Chris you are the man i learn to drive the same way your kids don’t know how good they have it mate you should be named DAD of the year 👍👍

[@allangooge7871]

Saying you want your kids to feel they can come to you for anything in life is very good words. I just wish I was brought up with that opportunity. Strict my old man. But I know he wanted the best for me. Just never knew how. He taught me fishing though. And a lot of other things. 👍🏻😂

[@dellboy2404]

Your a good man Chris , your old man the professional grafter taught you well 🫡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💪🙏

[@SteveBland]

Wise words fella,time spent with the kids is precious ,all the money in the world can't buy it.Your daughter picked up the manual shifting quite quickly good teaching Chris.

[@colingillespie1173]

Great to see Father and Daughter relationship.. I'm teaching my 17 Yr old daughter to drive and letting her drive my car on private land growing up has helped her cluch work..

That was great to watch, i remember my father teaching me how to drive in a school carpark on a Sunday night. He had a old volvo 740 estate that at the time felt like driving a tank!

[@walshpaul4158]

[@ajc825]

[@paulbeasley5026]

Well done young lady. I’m well impressed x 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@markfoden765]

Chris you are so right in what you said about spending time with your kids as you will never get that time back again,obviously your kids are so lucky to have the space to practice driving etc but also lucky to have a dad do it aswell,I watched this last night and then I had a dream that as a subscriber I had the pleasure of spending time with you at your yard etc and I was so real that when I woke up I was gutted it was a dream😂have a great day chris💪👍

[@MichaelPitman-n6o]

Yeah again Chris another great video you’re right give your kids the time it took me back. I was privilege to let my kids drive privately up and down the beach. Learn them to drive along the beach time after time. Love it just sit there watching and go up and down bit like yourself, we’re both so proud to see the kids do it great video

[@johngordonhouchen1312]

Good on you mate cant beat having a daughter to pick you and josh up if youve been on the Foster's!!

[@wayne3790]

What an amazing Dad you are Chris!!! Your kids are so lucky to have you. Like you, I was brought up driving cars & trucks off road with my Dad. The very first thing I had a drive of was a K-reg ERF E12 TX with a 13 speed fuller. After a few stalls I mastered the clutch and can honestly say it was one of the best days of my life!! I went with my Dad in the truck at any chance I could and also helped my Dad when fixing the car. I put all that input into the knowledge & skills I have today. As you said, trying is the only way you learn. Experience & knowledge aren’t given, they’re earned. Chris, you are an amazing person & I have nothing but the utmost of respect & admiration for you. All the best to you & all the family mate 🤠🤞

[@michealmcc1277]

Have to give it to you, you’re a great dad and son, if I can be half as good as you il be a happy man

[@chrisboyce7319]

[@philiphuyton28]

[@ManxAndy]

Afternoon Chris……Can’t beat getting the hang of a manual gearbox when you are a teenager….I started on tractors, figuring out where the gears were, because the diagram showing them, had long gone….she will soon be mastering an Eaton Twin splitter….lol ps took me a while….ha ha…first proper truck was a Leyland Masiff, cattle float, with a 6 speed crash box….that was fun with a capital…F me I got it…..ha ha…👍😉🇮🇲👌. Ps Layla has the best Dad…..hear oh gold..💖

[@stevegoodier1241]

Bloody brilliant....Priceless memories and life experiences 😁

[@chrisbarnes2823]

In Canada manual shift is considered a form of Anti theft device on a vehicle. I taught both of our sons how to drive stick at around 12 years old in case of emergency situations. They both sweated buckets when driving in the UK on the left hand side of the road 🤪. Both myself and my wife learned to drive in Derby.

[@abuubaydullah1]

This is true life skills Chris which we were taught as kids i was born late 50s no tv just a radio etc learn to cook ride bikes how to run (from plod 😁) just was shown how to do and we got on with it same as swiming loved everyday just the same as your dear mum and dad did with you chirs priceless.

[@kevinmccormack5192]

Good fun Chris, you two chillin like gangstas, cruising around the field 😅. Just a thought you could record Dave’s bee boop noise and play it night to de sensitise your mind 😂😂😂, instead of just boring fan noise.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Well done layla, your doing great, and you have a good teacher. Chris your a star mate, such a good relationship whith your kids, and that's how it should be I guess, and my tip would be take as many photo's, films of them growing up as you can, happy memories mate. Thanks for the video, stay safe, best wishe's to you all. Stuart Uk.

[@Paul-d5p4t]

Top dad Chris

[@125sm3]

Father - daughter time just can't beat it Chris, although you did help her turn into a smurf 😂😂

[@landroverlandyman]

Love how your teaching the kids life skills mate 👍 Also get some more videos on the wagon jobs especially when you miss with that big hommer and smash your hands 😂

[@marinastuable]

you are very lucky to have all that room to play, well done mate top dad points right there. just remind her when she's passed her test who taught her to drive when you need a lift home from the pub, i've got my 2 girls well trained 😂😂

[@jimb1783]

Fantastic video. You're an inspiration!

[@roamingearth915]

Priceless, bro ! 🇨🇦

[@denis-mf3cx]

Now Chris has a Smurf for a daughter, but she can definitely drive a manual gearbox! well done on the driving lesson. 👍👍

[@pbarnfield]

Just gone through 7 sessions with my 17 year old. Sod paying extreme prices, use wife's car, Nissan Qashqai 1.5, insurance from Veygo for an hour is like £7!! She's now ready for proper lessons to teach her how to pass her test - she's picked it up really well! Wife got new car, so she's not allowed to use that, and mine is a 3.0 v6 auto.... so that's a none starter for a learner!! 🤣 I think in time your kids will get the best start to life with you around Chris, practise makes perfect!!

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Brilliant video Chris 🚘🚙🚗👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@marieGibson-pe6lo]

She’s done better than me Chris, I constantly stalled a manual gave up and passed test in automatic lol 😜

[@Tonykelsey19]

Your going to struggle to keep the boys away from her mate make sure you tell her we are bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wicked dad love your videos

[@13LA]

Spot on Chris. Growing up had mates who couldn't talk to their parents about anything and had strict rules in place for owt they did. Guess which ones went off the rails when they turned 18 after being sheltered from the real world. Good work 👏

[@johnboy2984]

Hi Chris. You are a dad in a million. She pick it up really quick. She is going to blue for weeks lol. 👍

[@Hitlo-fd2gy]

Important life lesson, should hav told her not to keep her fone in her lap😂😂😂😂😂

[@catbuilder5474]

100% About not being too strict with your kid's.

[@Lucinda5ara]

I gotta go shopping but will watch when I get home x

[@craigpartington7382]

🙏🏻🙏🏻 as always Chris cracking video and advice our kids are the future weather we agree will them or not! Mainly my 13yr old daughter is always right 🤣

[@J4k3028]

Love this! I've always been into cars so have always wanted to be driving, think I started when I was 12 and I'm not far off getting a license haha. I think it is definitely a skill everyone should have!

[@jimlondon1]

Fair play Chris you're a good teacher. She'd be able to master a Twin splitter without using the clutch if you tutor her. 😉👍

Aye she’ll be fine, spotted the tongue out a few times so she’s definitely one of us, tongue out job gets done 😂😂

[@AliMackMechanical]

Learned to drive on my Dads farm a series 3 Land rover. I think I was around 12 year old. Used love cruising up the track's was great craic then I turned 17 years old he started making me Reverse it with live stock trailer on it. I thought it was less fun. Now been driving for year's 😂😂. Thats true that the time I spent with the old man driving fishing. Lots of great time's. Miss the old bugger now but he taught me a few lessons.

[@PillSharks]

I taught me eldest to drive and he passed his test 3 years ago in our 2001 Land Rover discovery 2. In 2 months time it all starts again as my youngest wants me to teach him! I remember talking to a couple of driving instructor at the test station in Weston Super Mare and they were talking like he’s already failed. Anyway, the first one came back and he’d failed, then the second and that was also a fail and then my boy arrived in our 21 year disco and he’d passed with only 1 minor! Proud dad moment. As for Layla. If she can drive like that now I recon she won’t have any problems! Nice one mate.

[@allandoyle3555]

Strugglers driving school ❤️

[@bryansmith3353]

Very good way to to teach her open feld she will get the hang if it she I a lovely girl

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Good on you to 👏👍

[@pfauniversal1890]

Include the hand brake in the takeoff. Pulling against the handbrake help find the clutch bite point. It's expected in a driver test

[@davidgirvan6007]

My daughter is a school teacher, 11 to 17 year olds! The number of fk’ed up teenagers due to zero parental input, shocking! I’m gonna lobby the government for a “Strugglers Academy”! And you Chris, will be the Head Teacher!

[@jay71512]

[@trevormegson7583]

[@Maxx1066]

Good job Chris, Do you remember the old renaults with gear lever in the Dash? In Canada we had a Fancy Column shifter on a GMC c10 pickup it was Brand new Salmon Pumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning got a photo of us as kids standing beside her and riding in the back to chapel lol. Get the kids interested in driving and wanting to travel an see part other parts of the world is a good thing you need the patience of a saint for driving lessons lol great video ty

[@Lucinda5ara]

I wish you was my dad BUT we are same age so please please please can I be your sister. I day dream our childhood would have been so much fun. I’d love to come camp with the struggler for a weekend. I wouldn’t be much fun because I don’t drink but more fosters for you and Josh 😂🤣😂😆
