Tuesday through my window I am watching Aunt Ruth working with "O" on their ever enduring project,"The Buffy Porsen."
One year ago I found this book on how to build a Buffy Porsen, for the last year these two have been working on their car. Now that the weather is cooler, it's time to pull her out again and work on the steering and brakes.
As a very small boy, "O" loved the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This car immediately caught his eye because of his love for this very magical motor car. Ours is magical too but in a very different way.
It's a wonderful feeling when someone believes in your dream and helps you to create it. Aunt Ruth has mentored "O" through every step and has taught him how to use every single tool in her kit. Especially the ones with electricity and loud motors.
By mid-day, they've decided to live dangerously and not put in brakes at all ,due to the width of the car. Next they work on the steering. Until the steering wheel is completed he will just have to steer with the rope. It very much resembles the reins of a horse. I wonder if this is what Henry Ford was referring to when he wanted to create the horseless carriage?
To get it all started he runs along just like Fred Flinstone.
And then off he goes steering all the time with his car reins.
Oh I'll just stop all of this explaining.....here have a look at my 28 second video.
