You can involve yourself in electronics computers puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

I assure you that the training that you get in a midget in a sprint car and perhaps in a Silver Crown car is really the kind of experience that makes you into a damn good race driver.

I had some vague memory of visiting Canberra as a lad when we came up with my father by car. But when I made the long train journey from Sydney to Canberra and arrived at the little stop I did wonder slightly whether this really was the national capital.

The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window. They used white linen tablecloths in the dining car in those days and real silver. I love trains to this day. Maybe that was the beginning of my fixation with leisurely modes of travel.

I just completed a tour in Europe. I played every night. This requires traveling some days for six hours in a van or a train or a car. After six weeks of that I checked into the hotel and just fell apart.

The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains planes wine bars... and quite a few car parks!

I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.

There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there near my family my kids also the real estate business I run with my wife.

Living the past is a dull and lonely business looking back strains the neck muscles causing you to bump into people not going your way.
