Research and Radio Programme
#7
I'm with Chris, my passion for old cars & particularly 7's was passed from father to son. Dad is 86 and still as passionate about the cars as ever. Last year we completed a brand new supercharged A7 single seater special and hillclimbed it in May - it was a great project.

Kids of today need more tool box and less X-box, less social media and more fresh air and getting to grips with the nuts and bolts of rebuilding & restoring. Sadly in this world of fast food and instant gratification, few are prepared to put in the time & effort required to see a project through. A local youngster is dead keen on what we've done with our projects, his dad bought a job lot of bits sufficient to build a special, 3 years later its all up for sale, the youngster hasn't even cleaned the stuff, talked about it lots, he's a good kid, but a Millennial with the attention span of a goldfish.

The old apprentice system out here is all but dead, alas kids today don't have either the patience or the willingness to learn from the masters and the old skills are dying out

This is my experience in the Colonies, half way down under
