‘The sound old fashioned analogue blinkers made. New cars try to imitate it, but they don’t quite hit the spot. And the way old windshield wiper motors sounded, they were so loud they drowned out the noise of the rain, and engine in my parent’s old cars.’

‘Disney movie trailers voiced by Mark Elliott. If you don’t know his name, you’ve definitely heard his voice in Disney trailers from the 90s and 2000s. He died in 2021, so younger gens will never hear him promote a new Disney thing.’
