Stan Freberg was really funny, Mike, I hadn't come across him before. (Surprised he got away with that saucy subpoena joke!) Old cars were so much more intersting and individual - even if modern ones are more reliable, and I find steam engines of all sorts really appealing. This may have something to do with the slower speed which makes the exhaust beat something like a human pulse, so the thing seems to be almost "alive", and also you can see most of the moving parts - poetry in motion.
