Another quote comes to mind:
"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, whilst in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle" - Ernest Hemingway.
Just substitute 'Austin Seven' for 'bicycle', and add 'modern' to 'motor car' ...
