School run

[pottman]

Too many posts on here about broken bits, expensive repairs etc ...

So thought I would brighten your day ...

Other car is dead (997.2) with a flat battery so guess what starts first time and will be employed for Pottman Jr's trip to school this morning.

Think it's going to be a loud journey to school.

My daughters (who's 13) is a bit slow at getting ready for school and often used to miss the bus : Meaning I had to take her, in the Focus, on my way to work. However, one such day I was going to work in the Cerb and she felt very embarrased when her school friends noticed her getting out of it
If she looks like being late for school now I only have to mention she'll get a lift in the Cerb (and that I'll rev the engine when we get there)and she makes sure she doesn't miss the bus.

And yet my 11yr old daughter positively insists I make as much noise as possible when delivering/picking her up with/to friends

I took my son to school in a 1997 Mazda 323, he said he would have been less emabrassed if he'd been seen "getting out of the back of a sheep"

Which I thought was a one liner worth remembering, his mother was less impressed with his wit though.

According to my son, the rest of the school prefer the noisy green car (Cerbera) over the black car (997). I'm not sure that the school mums agree as the Cerbera does have a tendency to set off the car alarms on yummy mummy's 4x4.

It also means that I never have to wait long at pick up time as pottman jr can hear me approaching.

My youngest sons school would all run to the school railings, climb up and chant "trevor, trevor, trevor...." whenever I arrived in the cerb. Eventually he got embarrassed by it, but I continued.

I take my 2 oldest to school every morning in the Cerb on the way into work. My 11 year old daughter insists on the Cerb and does her best to be seen getting in / out of it. All the kids love it
