Robert Irwin Is Learning to Drive in Late Father Steve's Old Car

Robert Irwin is paying tribute to his late father Steve in such a sweet way.

The 16-year-old environmental activist just revealed that he’s starting to learn to drive – and he’ll be using his late father’s old car!

Robert took to his Instagram to share a photo posing in front of the vintage car.

“Here we go! I’m so excited to finally start driving… and happy to be learning in the best car – Dad’s old Ute!!” Robert wrote.

Robert‘s dad Steve passed away when he was just two, but he has continued to honor him by continuing to work with wildlife.
