driving: An odd thing about my life is that I have not driven a car in thirty years! When I moved to NYC in 1991 I opted never to buy a car since they are not only unnecessary but a real burden in Manhattan. When I traveled For events I was driven everywhere, in Manhattan I mostly used subway and taxis for special occasions. My old Californian license expired more than two decades ago Not only have I not driven in thirty years, but cars themselves have changed enormously since that time. I learned to drive in a pathetic old British car in New Zealand with an anemic 47 horsepower engine! When I drove in California it was in my brothers Chevy Camaro which had an engine with slightly more than 200 horsepower – impressive for that time – to me it seemed like a rocket ship compared to what I was used to Nowadays it seems just about every car has more than 200 horsepower and weighs half what that old Camaro weighed. And many have three times that horsepower!! Re- learning to drive is going to be interesting!! Here I am playing around with an electric Moke – popular here in the Caribbean Islands. Looking forward to my Puerto Rican drivers license test!! Wish me luck – I think I'm going to need it!! Especially with Gordon Ryan as my driving coach!!
