Although I was born in Bolivia I grew up in Zambia Africa. My dad worked as
a Geological Engineer for the coper belt and in order to make an extra buck
he restored cars and sold them. I recall cars such as the mini cooper,
moris minor, anglia, sunbeams,fiats, MG TC,Jaguar MK II, Fiats,VW, BMW and
a red MG Midget that my dad restored for my mom to keep. The car was my
daily ride to school and I have a pic of the car with me by its side about
5 years old. I remember my dad asking me to help him sort out bolts or hold
the light for him at night. I hated doing the job I guess becasue itf was
expected of me. Many a years have gone by and one day I tell my dad "I
bought a Karmann GHia to restore" At first my dad was surprised but then he
said "Oh I new that sooner or later your mechanic gene would pop up" My
Grand father was a pro mechaninc and a very famouse race car driver. Its in
the blood I tell ya! Enrique
