MECHAPHILIA

[racergeo]

 Just watched a doco on the Bio channel over here in Au. It was called "MY Car is My Lover" men who are sexually obsessed by cars. They are calling them mechaphiles. Some time I think telie producer types make stuff up in order to titillate viewers. Like anyone would be in love with a car.LOL  These guys were just making total fools of themselves over there love of their car and one was a VW. A crazy notion.

  Well not much to do with all the flooding. Very sad. Maybe I'll watch the next show called HOARDERS.    About some nutso who keeps buying car parts even though his shop is filled and they are stacked every where out side. Where do they get these blokes?

EDIT: well,that serves me right ...I started reading about the Collyer brothers and it turns out that in 2009 a novel about them by EL Doctorow was released called Homer and Langley. I had a band ten years ago called The Coalhouse Walkers named after a character in a Doctorow book called "Ragtime"......Coalhouse was ,in short ,obsessed by his car and it all went bad from there.....

See , it did make sense after all.
