"Mercedes-Benz World Brooklands – the spiritual home of the Hurricane – in Weybridge, Surrey, UK, on Monday, December 3rd." Oh well...70 years after WW2..as the Dylan song goes..things have changed.
That is a twist. Lol
Yeah James I do a lot of pondering about what happened in the last century. The 176m people killed in war. In the first world war my grandfathers were on the opposing sides. I have always been able to see it from each view point which can be a blessing or a curse. In recent times the two events which have affected me most was the fall of the communist bloc and then the events of 9/11 in NYC.
42 years ago I was in Vietnam. Now my designer golf shirts are made there and Americans vacation there. Makes you wonder doesn't it?
Oh yeah...the thing I learned is that the damage lives on in private peoples lives. Lives on in the children of those people.
Circles. Everything works in circles. Even the universe goes in circles and may just be a molecule in the big picture. Life cycle is a circle. Civilizations, countries, mountains, etc, etc. It all winds up where it begins. Lol
