cars are meant to be driven we show both vintage cars, drive them to shows,no trailer queens here.
What could be more fun than cruzin with your daughter in a mini and a healey side by side, or rotating forward position?

20 years from now.
Sorry, you know what I mean by wrong side. I spent some time in Australia and my buddies and I would always joke with locals that they put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car. It just became habit. It did take some time getting used to driving a RHD vehicle. I drove a Mitsu truck while I was down there and it was a task getting used to shifting with my left hand. It only took a few drives but it would be hard to adjust at such a young age. If you trust her than that's all that matters.

As far as trailer queens, my dad's cars aren't anywhere near that. He has had his E-type since he was my age and if anything happened to it I know he would be upset. I understand where he is coming from and I don't even ask to drive it. I'm sure one day he will take me out and throw the keys at me but I will just have to wait and see. Its nice that you have something to share with your daughter. That is something you will cherish longer than the cars themselves...
