stating it was more fun than his sewing kit.

Please tell us you made that up. I mean, how could he be allowed something with all those dangerous pointy needles?

As for me, well, we haven't been down to Perth enough to see the nephew and niece and have much of a bad influence. But we've started making our own kids and when our 6-month old is about 8 years I'm planning on teaching her to weld. This will no doubt kill my brother-in-law on the spot when he hears of it.

Here a video of my daughter learning to drive the County when she was 11yo. Big smiles too.

I reckon the beach is the best place to learn as it's saves your drivetrain if they accidently dump the clutch

It's good too, that the 4BD1s seem to have a built-in anti-stall feature

Unlicenced on a public road... Thumbs inside the steering wheel... Couldn't see a seatbelt...

I agree that it is imperative to teach kids to drive.

I grew up in town but was taught to drive from a young age

The only problem you may find you have now is that she will want to go driving evey spare minute she has

There was an article in the paper a few months back commenting on how a policeman booked a father who was teaching his 16 y.o son to drive in a deserted shopping centre carpark & how Australia was somehow poorer in character as a result.

I guess you won't agree with that..

Not really. It is all fine and good until something goes wrong and you have no insurance. If you want to teach the youngsters how to drive (and I am all for it) do it on private land, not public roads. I would even be OK with a deserted beach, but the one in that video clearly has many wheel tracks. Not really deserted.

Good on you!, I still remember "learning to drive" when I was 12, Gemini up the next door neighbours drive, about 1km long, dairy farm, and my brother yelling "2nd, 2nd, grab 2nd" well, I grabbed second......jumped over the bank, mowed a tree and went through the fence

Apparently fishtails weren't so easy to master, took a few more years of practice

And in reality I don;t think he needs a lecture, he doesn;t appear to be an irresponsible character, I'm sure all was fine

Also, can;t get yourself into much mischief in an N/A Izoozooo

No lecture intended, merely observations

.

BTW even a naturally aspirated Suzy would be capable of 100 kph. Plenty of room for mischief making there.
