MCM looks at Cuba's car culture. (Think *you're* a creative & thrifty mechanic?)



The guys from Australia took a road trip (?) to Cuba to experience car culture on the island.

Among other things, they look at the inventive ways Cuban car owners & mechanics have managed to keep so many iconic 1950's American cars running for half a century (or longer) without access to replacement parts from the States.



I've never been to Cuba. I wonder if they do tours for gearheads...
