[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2049292, member: 101136"] It's tough, & partly there is an unwariness of the relatives too? It's hard to notice the little clues. Though I should have realised one Sunday morning I went round to see my folks & my dad was in the driveway revving the proverbials off his car.. He was seriously "red lining" it.. "What's up dad?" "The clutch on my car.." "Let me have a look." The drive was an incline to the main road. I got behind the wheel, checked the biting point of the clutch & took the car for a spin.. Car drove lovely after my dad's "Italian tune up." My dad was never that mechanically minded. A couple of weeks later, I had a call from my mum, something was up. They'd gone out on a shopping trip & on return dad stalled the car at a junction, then couldn't recognise where he was... (My mum didn't drive.) Another motorist kindly drove them home & mum called for a ambulance... Thinking about it now, his basic coordination was starting to fail him. Revving the bolts off that car. If he hadn't stalled that motor at that moment, who knows what could have happened... [/QUOTE]
