It was very good - I loved the 'dad car' section.New series started tonight, loved it 10/10 from me
Dads cars very poignant and so many truths i could relate too
And, paddy is shouting less, Flintoff is more at ease and Chris Harris is a very good driver imo
Think there may be a couple more shedding a tear reading that mate. Thankyou for sharingThe dads car bit was a bit raw for me, my father died last Tuesday. He always had different cars, when he met my Mother she said he had one suit nothing in the fridge but the best car on the street. He had Buicks,Oldsmobiles, Chevys, Traction Avants, a DS19 which Eagle Star refused to insure claiming its was dangerous, a BSA Scout,(look it up) Rovers, Jaguar XK120, Cortinas Escorts, Shark nose Opel Manta, Audi 100LS, Audi 80, Jetta, Renault 9, a Dauphine, various Bedford and Thames vans, His first brand new car was a Victor 101, he said it is quite possibly the worst car he had ever driven in the wet, he sold it after two weeks. His last car was a 1303 and he had a Beetle in the garage that he tinkered with
When I was 16 we went looking for my first car and went to look at a Beetle, where he casually mentioned that he had fixed various Kubelwagens in the war (he was a German conscript, who later was a POW and then drove a Churchill tank for the British). He was on the overhaul team after the Bismarck had its sea trials. So he was tampering with Air-cooled VW's before anybody on this board. We used to go to shows, he particularly liked Stonor, not many knew his name but most were very nice to him, Luke T, Dan Simpson, John Daniel, Max M, amongst others.
Not sure why I am writing this as I shed a tear, but one thing I have learned in the last few days, as your parents get older, become difficult and cantankerous, try to spend more not less time with them, otherwise you don't know what you had until it is gone.
RIP Dominik...
