I love my noisy Hassy, love my '86 BMW Boxer, my Yamaha Grand, and my Leicas, and I use them all, and love 'em, too.

There is nothing like the sound of 16 Wasp radials coughing to life, then smoothing out into a roar. Hearing and feeling an MP going through a 36 exposure roll in under twenty seconds shooting a short track bike race.

Even pulling the cork of an old bottle of Scotch and smelling the first waft of aroma has a level of connoisseur to it.
