Possibly only the Scots are the ones who are able to actually create something like the Steam Engine that uses immense volumes of water and coal and yet runs insanely slowly.
Never will you see something so inefficient in Asian countries where a total of 3 persons are required to be in the car at the same time in order to drive the silly thing that runs at a max of like 16 to 20 miles per hour. One person for the gear, one person to shove the coal into the boiler and one person to manuveur the steering.
And oh, there is no air-con and no means of a radiator or cooling system to be seen. Just a bunch of gauges and knobs to lower the pressure when required.
We saw steam trains, and now then there are steam cars. The only vehicle that we haven't seen steaming is the steam ship, which of course Scotland doesn't lack (think Sir Walter Scott on Loch Katrine).
As usual, another bunch of enthusiatic people, although this time, not so old.
