Watching the "old guys" and experimenting ourselves.<BR/>I am convinced that my knack and appreciation of mechanical stuff comes from the large Meccano construction kit I played with for hours as a boy. (No Playstations and computer games then to stultify the mind.)Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-88697284940806800082008-06-10T13:34:00.000-07:002008-06-10T13:34:00.000-07:00Hmm, I think we all have something of that ambival...Hmm, I think we all have something of that ambivalence, I do enjoy the private space of the car, and the freedom.

What truly fascinates me is that I am old enough to have travelled in a really wide variety of vehicles, including the rumble seat of a Star going across the Arizona-California desert at night (the only time to travel that stretch when I was very young.)
