The role of classic cars in the theory:

'M' is James Bond's boss and James Bond's middle name is rumoured to be Herbert.
I collect number plates as a hobby,
so far I have collected 35 from DVLA including my favorite W300 SLR for my favorite car, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz W(196S) 300 SLR (Uhlenhaut Coupe).
I also collect and occasionally fly radio controlled model aircraft including scale planes, helicopter, gliders and drones of which I currently have half a dozen. I may fly my scale planes in the future on Harden Moor, my gliders on Baildon Moor and my helicopter and drones on Northcliffe Park.
I have three radio control transmitters, a classic Spektrum 8 channel, an awsome Graupner 32 channel and a latest spec. Spektrum 20 channel.
I am also interested in Engineering Design of anything mechanical or electrical, especially aerodynamics and aircraft design.
I am a would be collector of model aircraft (miniature) engines although I only have one at the moment, a 4-stroke, multi-cylinder radial engine and my Smart Car has an 800cc, 3-cylinder, DOHC, turbocharged diesel engine.
I am also a would be collector of model cars but I only have one at the moment, a 1/12th scale 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe.
I am a member of several steam railways: The Keighley And Worth Valley Railway (famous for The Railway Children, film 1970), The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (home of the streamlined steam locomotive Sir Nigel Gresley), The Middleton Railway (the oldest continuously working railway in the world, founded 1758) and The Embsay And Bolton Abbey Steam Railway (The Yorkshire Dales Railway). I also am a member of and live within walking distance of The Shipley Glen Tramway (the oldest operating funicular railway in Britain, built 1895). My favorite steam locomotive is Patrick Stirling's single wheeler.
My computer and the internet is another hobby of mine, I must spend many hours a week at the keyboard.
I am also interested in classic cars/bikes and super cars/bikes, I currently own a Smart Car diesel which I think is the best car in the world, a supercar in disguise and a true practical classic. I used to own a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix which at the time was my dream car, before that I used to have a 1974 Honda CB250 motorbike which I wish I had kept.
I used to listen to rock music but these days I listen to the various stations on globalplayer.com including classical music on Classic FM.
I also like walking to my local parks: Baildon Moor, Baildon; Northcliffe Park, Shipley; Crowgill Park, Shipley and Roberts Park, Saltaire.
That concludes the role of classic cars in the theory.
