Child seat R36

[V6Passat]

A few quotes from the Transporter (not the one on here but the real one) that should be taught to children at a young age.

Frank Martin: Whats The first rule when entering a mans car?
Jack Billings: [takes his feet off The seat] Respect a mans car, a man respects you.
Frank Martin: Rule number two?
Jack Billings: Greet The man. Good afternoon, Frank.
Frank Martin: Good afternoon, Jack.
Jack Billings: Can we play The game now?
Frank Martin: I would think your brain would be too tired after a whole day of school.
Jack Billings: Youre just afraid Im gonna win.
Frank Martin: Im afraid youre gonna be too worn out to do your homework.
Jack Billings: Its Friday, I dont *have* any homework.
Frank Martin: In that case: The game.
Jack Billings: Yes!
Frank Martin: But first, whats The third rule of The car?
[Jack buckles his seatbelt]
Frank Martin: Good.

Tarconi: I always say, The way a man treats his car is how he treats himself.





Spot on! I cringe when I see bashed up cars park near me and the inside looks like a tip and when you see the family you can see why the car is the way it is.

Awesome!!! Too True...i go to a lot of trouble parking my car in carparks, sick of coming back to scratches, dings etc cause people dont respect their stuff letalone other peoples property. My wife thinks i am crazy, but i dont care.

My wife often says we should have brought her car when I'm lapping carparks and streets looking for the perfect spot

Funny BUT true...must be genitic...the more time circling the carpack the less time buying shoes and handbags i guess!! No offence intended to any girls who love shopping and their cars.

Doesn't matter how many laps you do or how far away you park.

When you come back to the car there's always someone parked next to you. Usually a 20yo Falcon or Commodore.

I agree with most of the previous posts however all of my cars are immaculate and my wife does take care of her car. no scratches or dings as she is careful in car parks....

as for the inside my son can do what he likes within reason but im not taking the kids shoes off so he can get in the car that's f*&cking ridiculous, are you going to tell a two year old they cant have their milk in the car because daddy is precious when the kid is screaming for food...

thats my 2c

111, to each their own. I make no judgements and expect the same in return. Cheers Sam.

Cripes! My '36 will be in trouble when I pick it up this week. The back seat will be occupied by a 2 and a 4 year old for probably 80% of the time.

I'll be too busy enjoying driving it, to be telling my kids what not to do

Yes, I'll probably cry and curse when I find the first mark, but it will be easier after that...it is just a car after all

I pick my battles, shoes on the rear head rest are not one of them

Of course, those who are fussy about kids in cars (and probably on everything else) were perfect angels themselves, weren't they? I write this after having my bub screaming for the last hour after her feed, through her bath, before she settled down to sleep... and for once, I don't have a shirt covered with baby puke.

I agree, kids need to know their boundaries - with 7 nieces and nephews, a bub of my own, and various cousins all with kids, all at various ages from 11 weeks to 11 years, it's interesting to see the variations in behaviour due to what their parents let them do. But kids will be kids, and I hope mine grow up with the confidence to try what they want, the knowledge of good and bad, and honesty for those around them.

And off my soap box now and back on topic, in my car I've tried both the mat and the car seat bare - I haven't noticed any difference to the seats, with the baby seat installed since July.

Yes I am, I don't even let my wife drink anything other than water in the car (after the great red gatorade spill of 2003 on a beige interior of a brand new car )

And if we're eating on the way back to the car we stop to finish before getting in.

It's a car not a restaurant, plus letting them have food and drink only promotes them vomiting so it's a win win situation for all concerned!
