Default New heads!!

My pops (PeterPan) got new heads without telling me! Did anyone else know about this?







I know nothing about cars...... but those look assembled to me with the springs and whatnot...... So I guess I get his old heads for my b-day. Thanks dad

Congrats Chad but you may want to have the 'old ones' inspected, your Pop`s will do anything to make sure he is at the 'head of the pack'.

See Chad, he is already ticked, grab the keys and show consideration by making sure the battery stays charged up while pops is out of town.

Exactly my friend, being considerate and helpful would please any father, I`m sure.

And remember Chad, you have an obligation to 'carry the torch foward' regarding your pops high H.P. Vette and the ability as mentioned, to pass 6Z06`s like they were standing still. This will require much practice, so maybe before pops arrives you can get some good practice in.

Steve will be so very proud of you !

Uuuuuhhh by the way, you may want to be sure you are holding Steve`s beautiful grandchild when he finds out how helpful you have been whilst he was away. No particular reason, it`s just I`m sure he would love to see you both together after being away.

Cheers mate and remember, the Vette has a built in rev. limitor so don`t worry much about red lining, just practice, practice, practice.

I`m proud of you to !

OM gosh, she is about the cutest lil thing I have ever seen !

My biggest regret in life. I never got a 'Daddys Girl'. Chad enjoy each and every split second with her. As you probably know, or not, seeing how young you are, time FLYS by.Never wish time away, before you know it they are grown already. The precious innocent moments become a faded but emotional memory.

Chad you are very blessed to be sorrounded by such family and love.

Take nothing for granted, we pass this way but once, suffice to say.

Peace,
Les
