    My son is 14 and pretty independent now, would rather ride bikes with his mates than with his old man (which I get) so we needed a new hobby to bond over.

    I bought a second hand racing go kart and we are back! It’s so fun to be hanging out in the garage again. We are fixing it up but it’s a little too fast at the moment, might have to put in a restrictor to keep it under 100km/hr / 60mph. It’s off its head, I had no idea.

    Hopefully we get another 3 or 4 summers in before he starts adulting.

    • 60mph!! Christ... My lad is 17 and a half now. It doesn't take long until they're a mini adult... I'd do anything for one day with him when he was 2/3 years oldcruddlebub

    • I could get into something like that. Vintage US cars are a bit thin on the ground in Aus, maybe an old Valiant though with a big turbo V8 might be fun.slappy
