I look at the car park and myself and Dave Watson come in with our old cars, and these young lads come in with their new Porches. I think that society has changed, there seems to be a lack of respect nowadays.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My biggest complaint about drivers out in the country has tended to be that they're not in a great hurry to get where they're going. This is particularly true of old men wearing hats. If you get behind an old guy wearing a hat on a winding road, you might as well just phone ahead on your cell and tell your friends you're going to be late.
They're dressing like in the 50's when they come out to the shows, and many of them have vintage cars.
The American automobile has changed the habits of every member of modern society.
People seem to take as much offence as they possibly can these days - it's almost a new type of greed, a new kind of road rage.
Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I'm not complaining,... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.
For the past 10 years, people have been making fun of the eighties. Why are we bringing them back?
I begin to grow heartily tired of the etiquette and nonsense so fashionable in this city.
I've always romanticized the late '40s and '50s - the cars, jazz, the open roads and lack of pollution. Now there are more vehicles, less hitchhikers, more billboards and power lines and stuff. People wrote wonderful long letters that took months to receive, and now everything is email.
Most young people have tremendous respect for older people's views.
I think the new generation is much more demanding about respect for the environment than we have ever imagined.
