From nought to nought!
What is your all time favorite automobile?
I was never interested in cars as a child and I am not interested in them now. For me they are simply a way of getting from A to B and a square box on wheels in that order!
There is one main difference between cars I saw as a child in the 1970s and cars now, namely that when I was younger the car makers were far more innovative with design. Every make had a different appearance and there were a huge variety of colours. Now I couldn’t tell the difference between one make of car and another. I can’t imagine that children of today get the same excitement with cars all being the same shape and with a choice of maybe two or three colours.
If you love cars then I am sure you get the same joy out of them as I do out of music. That’s brilliant and I know the fascination of a real obsession from a couple of car enthusiasts in my youth. Sadly it’s not one I have ever shared.
