[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 46323, member: 109"] Good to hear of good progress. Wish him well and a speedy recovery. Parents are wonderful things and worth telling them that. Glad I took the opportunity to let my Dad know how much I loved him when I could - three and a half years since he left us and I still find myself in the garage picking up the phone, dialling his number to just ask "how does this bit work...." before remembering he's not here anymore. Dad and I marshalled at Cadwell for a Classic Race Day in the 1970's - "do you know what we are doing son?" he said.... "yes I replied.....(wasn't it obvious) - marshalling. "No..." he says..."we're making memories that you'll have for many years to come..." He was so right....could be a complete pain in the proverbial, but a wonderful engineer, never known him ever to be beaten and unable to repair anything....and I miss him loads. He's around though.....if we meet sometime Rob I'll tell you the story about the engine number on a Honda Superdream I bought. Rob - take care of your Dad, treasure him and make loads of memories together.....wish him well for a speedy and total recovery. Cheers Stuart [/QUOTE]
