Cool. Cool.
Looking forward to reading your thread GAz.
Hurdy, I think what you are doing is absolutely acceptable (not that I can tell you what to do).
When my dad had a MK3 VR6 imported (he could not wait any longer for it to arrive) my grandfather who is very interested and passionate about motor racing told him the car was a waste. "German Crap" in his own words...
My dad took him for a spin (and I can say my father is a brilliant driver) and he came back pale. Since then my father always consults my grandfather about cars etc and when we got the GTi my grandfather said the same words but then climbed into the seat and said. Lets do this. He came back pale once again and said. I knew the Germans could make good Crap.
So i must say that fathers greatly influence their children and its good to see your father has influenced you and taken interest in something you enjoy. So enjoy spending the money. (But also include Mrs Hurdy
)
My dad and I have been discussing a lot of things lately with it being my final year at school etc and its interesting to see just how much is common between us.
I sent you a PM regarding some advice. I found the last advice you gave me extremely helpful.
Mike
