  1. Between 2004 and 2013 I restored a 1934 Chevrolet which had belonged to my dad. So, the other day I loaded it and myself into the cargo bay of the time travelling machine and flew to meet him in 1942, three years before he bought the car. The conversation was interesting to say the least: Me:"Hi" Him: "Hi.Where did you get that car?" Me: "Behind your father in law's shed, where you left it." Him: "How can that be, I'm not even married". Me: "Trust me ,you will get married and you will buy this car from Joachim." Him: "My brother? He doesn't own a car and by the way, who are you? You seem to know my family." Me: "I am your son." Him: "You are freaking me out sir. You are at least 40 years older than me, how do you explain that?" Me: "That, my dear father, would be very, very complicated to explain." So we took a picture.
