Many moments to cite with wonderful cars and memories.
Two of them were kind of life changing.
At the age of about 12 a friend of my father took me in his +8 - wow - that was a thing and brought to Morgan - story told before...
A couple of years later I have seen the Peraves Ecomobile on a car show. No price tag; only abpout 10 built in one year; not really a car nor a motorbike. 2010 after spendig money mainly in family things it was the time for the eco. On a road trip we visited Peraves in Winterthur and had a wonderful time with Arnold Wagner who told us more about the ECO history than we already knew from books and press. Still it was too far away up to the moment I found a used one or like the Morgan - it found me....
Now - what was the life changing thing?
It is not a car nor a motor bike - so I had to learn it from scratch. (there is a nice old vid with Jeremy Clarkson ) For me as a neuro scientist it was amazing to feel programs slowly going to cerebellum. It is like learning to walk... The first 1000km in open traffic are pure stress. 1000 to 5000 are better but still not good. 5000 to 10.000 are very dangerous because I felt secure but was not. So unknown panic situations occur. After about 10k km it starts to be good. That´s just how they said ;-).
