I can remember having to replace several valves on a long trip whilst parked out side a friends house in my then Moggie Minor, it was doable. To modern times having to await recovery due to a engine failure as the ECU failed. But that's progress, cars are built with more safety features today, better emissions etc. It still does not stop me having a fun car that I built myself from a recycled Sierra. No power steering, servo's complicated management systems etc. Perhaps also being into Vintage technology I am a rose tinted person at times, I like to keep old gear running and build new gear with valves rather then DSP code on the PC.
If lucky we have a choice with the way we live, we can furnish our homes in what ever style we like. I tend to think one comment about the drab greys was correct, I think we all need more colour. As to were the old times better than today, well my mum when she was alive said 'No, but we were in the same boat so there was a sense of community'. Perhaps it is that that seems to be missing today.
I found the article a good read, especially as some are not a million miles from here.
