Hollywoodbigshot is one of my favourite ebay sellers.  I've corresponded with him in the past as we both tend to write humorous ebay adds in a very similar vein.

This bloke has described the baby boomers view on today's world way better than anyone, even PJ O' Rourke. Funny shit. His pinball spiel is equally as funny.

An entertaining read, with a bit of wit thrown in.

He's famous for the Yellow trike of death add a couple of years ago.  His point of view on tadays generation is good.  I've been collecting old Meccano sets to add to mine for my young lad.  The other day he commented to mum how dad's Meccano is all old and crappy. I realized at that point I was trying to relive my nostalgia through him and he would probably be more interested in the new stuff.

So, from where I sit, my kid is 20 now, this dude has nailed it.
What we need to come up with is a life-sized remote-controlled bike. That way we could put the kid on it and play with the controls-using their wealth of youthful zeal and limitless energy to handle the punishment, whilest taking the bars and,via a remote camera, steering them to the fast lines.
That way they could experience the scraped elbows and busted knees and we could still swig a beer and tell them 'how fast we was' and get a buzz. :D :D (Hang on-that almost sounds like being a passenger :o :o)
