Car Mechanics

Just been for a drive in the car with our mechanic so he can diagnose what’s wrong with it.

I wanted to slap him around the ears and tell to stop driving with the palm of his hand or the pads of fingers.

I wanted to yell at him - ten and two and remember the 3 second rule as we drove round town riding the rear-end of every car in front, while his hands barely made contact with the steering wheel.

I wanted to yell chef Gordon Ramsey’s advise at him - grip it and run with it.

Thankfully we made it back to the workshop in once piece. Boys who love cars, aka bogans, never really grow up. Just these days they attend 40th birthday bashes and not 21st anymore, and they still drive with one hand on the wheel.

Anyway, as long as the car is sorted it’s all good. As we’re heading off to ski/snowboard at Wanaka this weekend.

Think we'll stay in ...
