It seems I'll need to rephrase my translation for the entire line a little. Does the following one sound okay?

Code:

Having the chance to ride a car, Porfy frolics so much as if he has completely forgotten about Mina's birthday.

By the way, was my last translation for お前の手先が器用なのはわかってるけどなあ in my previous post acceptable?

That is the idea.

I would say yes although you could have just said "I know you're good with your hands". These intentional changes are nothing unusual in translating a story. After all, you are the one who knows the flow of the story. I only have these almost isolated lines.

Well, although I know exactly what is going on since I follow the story, I still prefer to hear other people's opinion to improve my own wording. Anyway, thanks again for your great help. :) I'll probably have nothing to ask in a while.
