I'm A GRANDAD!!!

Congratulations 😊
Grandad on my Moms side worked for Ford all his life and drove an Escort Mexico. My Dads dad didn’t drive on the road,but did know how to drive a Steam Loco,worked his whole life in the engine sheds in Ashford..So that counts as cool in my book 😂😂

Congratulations mate.

Congratulations.

My grandad never had a car, let alone a Granada. He drove a horse n cart (I'm not even joking).

However, my dad had a mk2 2.8i Ghia.

Good on you mate. Mum and baby both doing well I trust?

My mum's dad was a serial BMC owner, at least during my lifetime. I can remember him having a Morris 1100, then a Morris 1300, then a Morris Marina which he kept in regular use until his death in 2000. The Marina was immaculate. I wanted it but my useless uncle sold it outside the family for bu99er all.
My dad's dad had an Indian motorcycle at some stage, in the '20s I think. The first car of his that I know about was a '36? Morris 8. This was followed by a '23 Studebaker Big 6 which was rough as hell but it was cheap and available when he needed it. In the '50s he got a new Phase 2 Vanguard which my dad sometimes borrowed to take my mum out in before they were married. That was followed by a Mk3 Zodiac which he had when I was born. I loved that car. After that came a series of BMC cars, a Tasman, a Kimberley, and two 1500 automatic Allegros. His last car, which I still have although it will never be road legal again, was an EN Civic.

congrats.

My mums dad never drove, my dad's dad is the end of a bell. But his uncle, and my dad's dad in my eyes, raced hovercrafts and even won the equivalent of a world title in his age group. Unfortunately I missed the chance to drive the hovercrafts and missed my calling in life

Hahaha tonycocacola sleeps with grandma!! Congratulations!!

Yeah, seems like only yesterday they were small, and cute, and cheap. Lmao.

Thanks for the congratulations, fellas.

Congratulations! I shall never become a Grandad myself as I am unlikely to become a father, so enjoy!

My maternal Grandad never drove, but he could throw darts like a professional. Sadly he died when I was 4 so I never saw him play.

My Dad's Dad died before I was born, and spent a long time working for Castrol during the war and in the post-war period. He had, amongst other vehicles) a massive Dodge woodie that he loved. Apparently he also had a job to demonstrate an early car that could do 100 mph. When customers said that "it wouldn't do 100", he used to give the car the once over, then take the customer out in their car, and do 100. It was usually their bottle that went! My Dad did once tell me the make but I can't remember. I shall endeavour to find out!!
