Great photo Keith.

My son Will is just over 2 and loves 'driving' the jeep- standing, making brum noises and turning the wheel, infact anything that looks like a vehicle is good to drive as far as he is concerned!

The bonus is when he sits on my lap and steers as we roll around the yard/paddock. The smile is great!

Cheers,
Ian.

He's growing up fast Keith, is he good at hiding tools yet?
Teach him to keep his thumbs out on a blitz.

Nice shot, Keith, but do his mother and grandmother approve of this very early indoctrination to produce the next generation of Blitz fanatics???!!!

Go Grand-dad!!

Go Blitz!

Default Grandson

Well Katie fully approves... Belinda is just pretending she doesn't!

And Robert, I must remember to keep the air cleaner and crankcase breather on while he's around... he hasn't quite got to the posting things into holes stage but it can't be far off.
Must get him some wet and dry paper for his second birthday.
Thank goodness VHS players are a thing of the past.

Remember this well Keith when restoring my jeep years ago and my eldest Ben (now 30) was about the same age. I used to line the back of the jeep tub with a quilt to protect him from the edges and plonk him in there with a selection of spanners. Kept him amused for ages. The quilt also protected the tub from his spanner action.

Warning to others who think this a clever idea.

Beware of babies who throw spanners over the side of a jeep when you are working on the back axle!
