    Does that make him an evil man?

    No, that was great fun. It's only frowned upon now because of political correctness gone mad!

    I has to say that it was at the beach so it wasn't that dangerous - we probably would just have broken a coup[la bones but not died because it was the olden days

    Unless the bonnet of the car is his nickname for his penis then that man sounds like a legend

    My dad liked us so let us sit in the car. When he was drunk we drove and put him on the bonnet.

    No, he sounds like an epic man.

    My grandfather has 14 children. This means alot of grandkids. In the early 90's he used to bale us all into his car and head to the pheonix park for lash of figure of 8's.

    Lets just keep him and your dad apart before some children strapped to jets become a common occurance.

    Children never died in the olden days. Hence the amount of crooked looking midlifers we see now with serious mental issues. :p

    I remember doing that too. The aul fella had a Defender and we'd sit on the bonnet while he drove down a 30-40 degree slope. When I think of it now it's mad that none of us ever slipped off the front...

    When I grow up I'm gonna let my kids sit on the bonnet while I drive so they can have them buzzes the health and safety brigade want to deny them.

    Yep.

    My dad used to let me steer the car from the passenger seat when i was about 10 or 11. I would sit at the edge of the seat, no seat belt, one hand on the dash the other on the steering wheel. I was even allowed to steer as he passed out other cars. Grant it that was back in the early 80's..things was different way back then :rolleyes:

    We were also allowed to sit in the trailer which was unsprung, we could have bounced out at any stage but hanging on was all part of the fun!

    Sounds like a lot of fun your Da. My 11 year old daughter drives around the Curragh whilst I hang on to the roof of the car. If she can knock me off by pulling a handbrake turn she wins 20 bucks.
