I used to think that work meant everything, this weekend I was asked to work Sat', Sun', Mon'. There would have been a very nice wage going in the bank next week but I had committed to other things. Some of them only minor and after a bit of earache from the wife she would have got over it.
BUT...I had promised to help my son fit his newly purchased coilovers to the AE86. His Japanese size number plates had arrived so when the suspension was done there was a proper, fully road legal test drive on the cards. It had been driven around the docks when it arrived and on and off the trailer and to the MOT place 1/2 a mile away, but only now was it ready for it's first proper trip on public roads.
The coilovers were dead easy to fit (one bolt on the adjustable panhard rod was another story but we did it).
The moment I would not have missed was my son laughing like a loon on the maiden voyage saying ' it's ####### mint this' giving the corolla the beans, in the sunshine through some bends up on the hills not far from here. One of those priceless moments that will stick with us forever.
My Dad died before his time after being poorly for years and we had very few really special moments.
