[Merv and Sharon]

I have had some similar experiences Baz. There are two young boys (from Yorkshire actually) a few houses down. I was polishing the Cobra with affection and the younger one came into my garage quietly and said, "I didn't know you (meaning anyone) could make cars?" "Can you do that?" He asked. I answered, "Yes, if you are careful". And, after a long silence, he summed up the situation, "Cool ...". (another silence) "Can I have a ride?"

"Yeah OK next week", I offered.

Ten minutes later his older brother Albert arrives (all of 11 years) and goes though the same exchange, ended with the same delayed, "Cool ...". So some rides are planned.
