Dangerous Fun.
The theme of this year's holiday, for Harvey J and Ollie, has been 'Dangerous Fun'.
Anything slightly, or seriously, dangerous has been added to the 'must do' list. So far there have been no wounds, no broken bones, and no hospital visits; just fun. Of course there's still time, but even Harvey J's driving (above) proved disappointingly uneventful.
Don't ask how Harvey J reached the pedals; it took ages to fix. And, yes, his dad's car remained unscathed.
So, would I let him drive my Compact Royce? Not on your Nelly!

Especially not with a red warning light on the dash instrumentation! lol!
That's the warning light for 'under-age driver'.
Remember to reset everything - if the rozzers find out that one of the memory-seat settings is for something three foot six they're going to make enquiries!
Oo er missus - was that a real road or just your driveway - was he going fast - just hope he doesn't attempt it on his own! (Haven't heard any one use the phrase 'not on your nelly' for donkeys years.
am important rite of passage!
proper boys x
That was the 'no seat-belt' warning wasn't it? Just to make it a little more dangerous??!
I can hear health and safety geeks from all around GB shrieking!
sad gits
I am not going to show this to my 4 year old grandsons....the demands to have a go would be immediate......aggghhhh......J.
I loved this Cro as you have seen on my blog in the past our grandchildren have a drive when they come to work with me...however we are way up in the bush and they sit on my lap..Wow this little fellow did very well all by himself and going quite fast...it is a wonderful time for making memories and he seem to be doing that...can I ask ...were you a passenger or did you choose to watch lol.
Several years ago, we had an adult corupt a 10 yr old to drive a over the road semi from a town about 30 miles from my community, and this kid managed to get it all over town and on the interstate, and did some damage. I am surprised he did not kill anyone. I am still in awe how a 10 yr old managed to reach the clutch, pedals and shift. I drove these trucks for a number of years and I am only 5'2 and still had to have blocks put on the pedals to shift and run the governor.
Kind of scary that 80,000 lbs was running amok.
Have a wonderful week, Mr M. and Lady M.
I was in the back filming. It, too, was on a very isolated road, with zero risk of oncoming traffic.
He's already better than most drivers out there.
Grandparenting is such fun.
I liked your description of the warning light. Those seat belt warning lights are so annoying. I take mine off once I am on our drive, which is quite long and it is binging by the time I get out. Very annoying. Great memories for the grands.
That's one tall kid. ;) I remember getting to hold the steering wheel every now and then; that was enough excitement for me. Then I got to ride the milk-van at fifteen down by the canal -- what a blast.
Are you going to let them drive your ride-on lawnmower, Cro? Or are they too short yet to reach the pedals for that?
Yes, they've both had a go on that; loved it!
Aw, I haven't heard term "rozzers" since my Mum shuffled off thi s mortal coil!
I remember my Dad letting me sit on his lap and "drive" at that age. Kids around here start driving giant combine harvesters at 12...or younger!
Oh I love this! And he's driving fast, too!
