That garage looks pretty empty. Does 'Dad' not have any cars of his own?  |

Cool! Be sure to get them hooked while they are young. Maybe when he gets a little older you should get him a Jr. Dragster.

Very cool. Does everyone across the pond have brick paver driveways? I never see plain concrete or asphalt driveways like most people have in the US. I like the pavers better.

Anyway some photos (PS i Know its not a traditonal cal look or even modern cal look but it is what he wants and im sure he will LEARN......) |
