It had to happen one day.... the Event Horizon ('95 Classic) has gone off Late Night Shopping, - without me...

#3 son, (got his licence 2 weeks ago...) - the one who is most scathing of RR's foibles, contemptuous of the sunroof raining INside, the way it drinks fuel, etc etc....has finally worn me down, and been allowed to 'borrow' it for his First Unsupervised Drive.

Before you ask, yes, I am stressing, biting nails, worrying about a knock on the door... the world ending, worrying how I'll get to work tomorrow, seeing as the Rangie (will undoubtably be...) 'is' pranged beyond salvage.....

I think it's called the Joys of Fatherhood.

Milestone for him, - 'Gravestone' for me ! :eek:

Yep, he's driving a...... VEEEE EIGHT !!!

And so he should.. seeing as he did around 50% of his "Log Book" hours in the rip-snorting, over-powered, anti-social hoon-mobile...

The other 50% was in Mother's docile 3.0 litre middle-aged Magna... (which has nearly twice the acceleration...) but 'only' 6 cylinders..- So that's Safer...:angel:

How dare he drive that pedal to the metal P plate bearing death machine!
You watch, next he'll be getting into Rock and Roll music and staying out past 8pm and talking to girls and...
Oh who am I kidding.
Fight the power :D

I always tell my parents I'll be home early.
I just fail to specify which day...
