You know sitting here thinking about it... I enjoy all of it... the
Building as well as the driving... but most of all I enjoy the smile and
frowns that the car gives me...
Of course I want to build my own car... and I trust my own work without
question
But to be honest I enjoy the thinking Most.... taking a system apart and
thinking about what would make it faster better or simpler.... I know my
Car doesn't represent the most simple approach... but it is simple compared
to were I might want it to be... Brad keeps me well grounded when I get to
far astray... but just the mental exercises involved in this whole Hobby is
a pure joy...
