Hi Greg,
Your thoughts and reflections have already been mirrored with other contributors to my research project. It is the fast pace of the world today that prevents reflection, skills building and in some cases a true loss of history and heritage.
Thank you for contributing, your thoughts will form part of my research

hi Jon,
What a great idea. giving the 'tools of the trade' so so speak, to enable those that are interested and want to know more. This is potentially something that could grow UK wide. With car enthusiasts retiring form their involvement in maintaining classic cars and donating their tools to someone younger. This method could work well when there isn't a grandson to hand it down too, or where the immediate family show no interest.
Perhaps an off shoot from this is training in how to use the tools. I know The British Motor Museum hold Virgin Classic Car training days for new to classics, but this could be spread wider into the community. It would be a way of preserving the skills and raising interest in younger communities, especially when they start tweeting about it and sharing their story on social media...
thank you for sharing your story.
