This is my grandson Patrick Thomas getting a "feel" for the 968.
Tell him I'll give him a box of Oreos for the Fikses <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" />



Great pic,

Ok, I'm confused, is that a 911 <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" /> Looks like the keys are hanging from the left side of the steering column?
He's already driving with only one hand on the wheel! Priceless! Add the extra hand and 5 Manhattan phone books and he's ready to roll!
A great looking kid!!! Must have fantastic parents! And he looks like he has the hang of it already!



Yes, get them interested early! I recall taking my son for a ride in my 1970.5 Z/28 Camaro, with original 350/360 hp and M22 close ratio 4 spd...After a couple of 0 to 60 runs, he was screaming "I want to go home!!!" at the top of his lungs! Wuss kid!!! Well, he was only 5... and that old Z/28 would suck the breath out you a person!!!



But I may have ruined him... he now restores VW's... well, sort of Porsches, I guess! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/clap.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
You guys have heard me talk about my granddaughter who loves riding in gramp's hot rod. She loves to go fast!! Although she did ask for a playroom in the new garage. Of course she will get it
Not a 911, it appears that the key is on the "wrong" side but it's just a key hanging down from my key chain. Would love to take him for a ride but my daughter would have a conniption. His car seat does have a 4 point harness.
Babysit and take him out she will never know!
My 16 yr old son doesn't have his license yet, but he already wants to know if I would buy him a 968. He'd settle for a 944.
Keys are just hung over the headlight stalk. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.png" class="smilie" alt="" />
RAP, I thought of that but what happens when his mother picks him up. He sees the 968 and says "again, again, again".
Just put a dumb look on your face and plead ignorance. It worked once for me. Only once! Lol
sure, very cute and all that, but I started at a much earlier age .. see ultrasound proof below..

Is the right hand practicing shifting?
ha, ha... may be :-) . I think someone else on this forum posted this same image a number of years ago, but that one was a ".gif " or something like that , so you could see the motion of both the arm shifting and the leg pushing the pedal.. I could not find that version anywhere, so had to put up the stationary image instead.
That was Rhudeboy...love that avatar...
Took my granddaughter out for a spin to check the new tires and service. Car runs much better. She was trying to stick her head close to the open window to feel the air on her face. Hope this doesn't mean she wants a cab!
