Nice pics Andy. :)



She seems very focused in that last picture. It must be great to share the fun with a kid.

Cheap labor and very little overhead. :p

Too true - apart from the countless zoo/swimming/theme park trips. And the part when she checked out the whole car and said "Daddy, it looks quite shiny.........but you missed that bit" - priceless.



Even more was how upset she got when we went for a quick drive to shake out all those annoying little drips and "her" wheels got some spotting - a true autopian princess!



Lee, she stayed focused for all of 30 minutes until spraying me with the hose became infinitely more fun....did a darned good job though - on me and the car!

"Cheap labor and very little overhead. "



Constant supervision, boy-friends visiting, boy-friends hitting up Dad for freebies, pads, polishes, finishes,...



Yup, small overhead!

AndyC_1 - make the most of your time with her, they grow up oh so very fast. One day you`ll be thinking about your little girl and she`ll walk in with a little one of her own, you`ll wonder where the time went (the good news you`ll get to enjoy your grand children) :) :)

Heh heh Jon, I was just thinking the same, only my daughters are 15 and 16, but it doesn`t seem like 5 minutes since they were Chloes` age ... :)

Actually most of the car looks like it is over her head -- she probably can`t reach the roof!! :p

As some one said to me when my little`s one picture was up when she was helping me with the garage. "How nice you let her barrow your boots" Just had to pass that on..

Very cool. Just make sure she keeps the brushes away from the paint!:D When does she start polishing the paint? Earlier the better........for you maybe!

Nice pics!



OT: Andy, since when have you your Astra? No problem? With the same engine, a friend was meeting some concerns to start it, due to a problem with the tank of gasoline-euh diesel....
