Popular Post Gaz! Posted October 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi all, just thought I would share this moment with you. so returned from this weekends "scale nationals", weather held out with only one spell of overnight rain, temperature was silly cold though at night. well just to report, my driving is still very average so at least I'm consistent however my 9 year old lad won his class yet again, he was pitted against some really tough competition too. As soon as hi name was announced the tears started flowing..... really proud as as he drove like a champ and kept his cool all weekend, overall damage/breakages were a 97p can of monster energy so good. anyway, brings me to my little claim to fame as I can't drive for toffee, At least I do know how to build a competition winning scale rig, 2 rigs and 2 wins (guess all those years of experience have paid off lmao) i will ill update this with the rigs and there trophies as soon as there in a clean shelf worthy state. downside to all this is the words, "I beat me dad, AGAIN" looks like ill I'll have to settle for being his pit bee-hatch from now on....... 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly In My Soup Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hey there, congrats to your son. It's a strange feeling to see your son naturally excel at something your average at, they just seem to pick things up so quick round that age Perks of being a dad!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
