Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. They must be old, though, at least over thirty, maybe even as old as his parents, but what the hell, let them be happy, let them be happy at least for a time, and he salutes them with careening whine of his horn as he goes racing past them, sending them news of his mocking approval.
