cars

My mother told my little brother and I that the cigarette lighter in the car was a detonation device that would make the car explode.

I was looking around the new Rover my dad had bought when I was about 4, and I saw there was a line that went all around the inside of the roof of the car. I also noticed there was a little box in the roof my dad could remove. I asked my mum what they were for, and she told me so that we could lift the top of the roof off, the car thus being convertible. They never converted it, and I didn't know why...

I used to believe that there was only one man in the country who put out all the road cones himself.
I felt so sorry for him!!

my first boyfriend tld me that the VW Beetle only had two pedals - the clutch pedal and the accelerator/brake pedal that you had to kick from side-to-side in order to use each function.

I used to believe that cars were propelled by their exhaust pipes and it made perfect sense to me as ferraris had four and skodas had one little one.

When I was young, we sometimes used to go driving on holiday in Europe. Sometimes there were some very long tunnels under mountains.

I used to believe that when we came out of the other side of the tunnel, we were really still in it but the walls were showing pictures of the outside. Like a big tubular TV.

I used to believe that cars moved by being blown along by their exhaust (that's why the exhaust pipe points out the back!)
