- I have
a continuing
interest in technologies or all sorts—mechanical, digital,
etc.
As you can see from the photos above, this includes a variety of
vehicles. Over the years I have owned (or leased) automobiles and
motorcycles assembled in Austria (2),
England,
France,
Germany
(3), Italy
(5), Japan
(3), and Sweden
as well as Missouri
(St. Louis), Pennsylvania (New Stanton), South Carolina (Greer),
and
Wisconsin (Kenosha). (See bottom of page
for additional detail.)
A new
page highlights some of the
changes in our collection of vehicles.
