You know what 'three on the tree' is because your first car was. Oh, and no syncro on first. The list of accessories was 'cigarette lighter' and - because it was the 'Special' model - a radio, valve of course. Speaking of valves the ones under the hood were opened via push rods and you knew how to adjust the associated tapits. One could also clean and gap plugs, set the dwell angle and adjust the timing. All lubricants and filters were changed at home. Pulling a carby apart to clean the jets and then adjusting said jets was considered routine. Then there was the hours of fun with the front suspension's set-up. And that is before anything actually went wrong! Finally, despite these rituals having become largely redundant one still has all the necessary tools, meters, timing light and torque wrench.
[BTW you also know in what way bench seats are better than buckets.
