In my young days we lived in Lower Hutt, a city just across the harbour from the capital, Wellington.
Next-door-but-one from us lived the O'Learys, a family with eight kids, Bernard was the youngest, about my age, and we used to get around together.
His older brother Terry was in to cars, and was always tinkering with old V8s.
He had a mate who used to come visit often, and help Terry with his cars. This bloke used to turn up in the most amazing pieces of machinery I had ever seen. And we kids would hang around asking questions and 'helping'.
(We were most probably just a damned nuisance!)
And this mate's name was Graham Berry.
Of Berry and Chung.
I was hooked.
And that would be better than sixty years ago.Last edited by johnboy; 06-30-2020 at 02:25 PM.
