Young blood... - Ruairidh Dunford - 25-06-2020
For the last month Daisy has woken me up on half a dozen occasions in her boiler suit asking me to involve her in "car building" - normally this would be something I would jump at but my role in education has rather overtaken car work of late. Yesterday this changed and I am able to enter the workshop once more, taking Daisy with me.
She helped me to completely rewire an RK today, reading the factory diagram perfectly. I showed her twice how to strip the wires, heat shrink and solder them - after that she was able to proceed alone.
Tomorrow we will make up and weld a bespoke exhaust system on the Sports Coupe.

Brill! I am just waiting to get the grandchildren involved. 9 year old Millie will be driving this year... 6 month old Austin may take a wee while longer to get behind wheel, but he shows promise...

She's no daft Tony - contract out before we began!

I remember doing that. She has a very senior job at a major UK car manufacturer now.

This one wants to be a vet - Nick Turley informs me that I may need to sell some cars...

Hi R. Beware - when in times to come they erect a statue of you - it may be later pulled down by the anti-slavery mob. A great loss to the pigeons. Seriously though, does Daisy have the Heriot books like All Creatures Grunt & Smell? If not, let me know and I'll send her some. Cheers. Bill in Oz

Wonderful!

Fully as charming as the RK. I thought something was lacking from the Forum lately. We have not seen the girls for a while.
If you could make obvious the link with what she had accomplished, would be a candidate for a photo competition or local paper.

Wonderful, really great to see someone so young taking an interest in practical things. I like the boilersuit Daisy!!!
