    Doing a little holiday shopping at the mall, and on the way out, they have a bank of kiddie rides. One of them is a race car simulator, like those roller coaster simulators that rock back and forth while the kiddie watches video of being in motion.

    A little girl was riding it and seemed to be having lots of fun - as I walked behind, I saw why. Instead of some standard NASCAR footage, the video was the infamous in-car banzai run through the big pack of Elises at Bathhurst!

    Oddly enough, many of those concession rides are made in England.

    Yeah, Christiana, at the entrance between Panera and Cali Pizza Kitchen. I didn't see any age limit, but you might get funny looks...

    So they will all break down and rust away in a couple years?

    i thought England stopped trying to make electronics after they couldn't figure out how to make them leak oil?

    Doesn't surprise me, especially the "rust belt" equivalent in the UK (ie, from Birmingham northwards) seems to have a thriving collection of oddball cottage industries.
