many have the replies with new self driving cars. Public roadway vs. private basement activities.
I grew up in a family of car enthusiasts and basically I lost interest in driving them once kids arrived. I still love the machinery and Donald Healy’s 100-4 is my all time favorite vehicle and designer.
The rawness of early development and the intuitive bonds of the machine is very similar to 8 bit computing. The whole thing is Knowable.
My 78 year old uncle still races 49 MG TC he took a 50 year break after High school. He loves old car problems.

Ack! You call yourself a British car fan and you misspell Healey? May Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, haunt you. ;)
Nobody has these replies when it comes to older computers, electronics or software. I mean the equivalent in more usual HN posts is how to exit vim or do anything in emacs, but people get super excited about it even though the software is as old and complicated to use as this car is.
Let people have and enjoy things.
