I held a F1 clutch that he talked about. I had no idea how small and trick a clutch can really be.

I learned to do design with a pencil. I now can utilize the Bentley 3D software, but can't do design myself in that format. My daughter uses Solidedge and Solidworks daily in her design. Isn't progress wonderful.
