Keeping it in the family! My little mechanic.

Just to share my joy, here is a pic of my 4 year old daughter helping me clean the idle jets on the Webers...(no, I don't clean them with wire, but she wanted to "help", and one did have a solid piece that wouldn't blow out...)

Spending time with one of my kids on my day off, working on my other love.

I am crying tears of joy...

Very cool that you are spending time in the shop and your daughter is with you

As a kid I spent 100's of hours out in the garage with my dad. I used to "clean" parts for him too. Definate lifelong influence.

All the best!

That's how I got this way! My father had me in the garage at a very early age, along with my brother. We are both automotive fanatics.

In fact, my great grandfather raced cars in the first years of the 20th century! And my dad and I went on to drag race together.

Such fun to share a love with the family.

Awesome!

Same thing for me, my dad was always working on cars when I was young, and he'd have me cleaning parts, pumping brake pedals, and other tasks, got me hooked, and gave me some fond memories

Almost makes me want to have kids.

Definitely brings a smile to my face, though.
