I've always been fascinated with good technologies - so, one of the things I want to do and am mulling over how to do it atm -
is to go to various parts of Europe and see things like -------- Italian pumps, the home of Porsche, the home of Ferrari, many of the French classics - I've covered a few so far -- etc etc
I'd really really like to use the dinky di's where they are born -
like drive a Ferrari where it's born - ride a Ducati in Bologna --
etc etc
I 'suspect' that it might be like ---------- listening to music in the location it comes from --------- there's some magic that happens there that - well, not only fascinates me - but, leaves my logical thinking way back down the track - atm - until I learn more anyway.
there was a man who made instruments in ??? I think it was a place in Uzbekistan - but, it might have been somewhere near there - and, the sounds were stunning - the music was just enchanting - so, I/we brought some of it and listened to it - it was magical on CD as well
but, when we got back to Oz - it was so out of place - that, you wouldn't listen to it more than once
there's something about being surrounded by the music in a place where it lives - that it just is a totally different experience - almost as strong as the memory of smell
I want to try that with cars and bikes etc.

If you were to spend time in the place of origin where things are made and invented you would need to spend quite a lot of time in Italy and Germany - not to mention the UK
