Not quite sure if this is the right place, but this is from the (Oz) ABC Science Show, on Aug. 30th.  Hope it's of interest to any 'rev heads'  ::)

Robert Lacey describes the character of Henry Ford. Ford believed in reincarnation and says he learnt all his skills in a previous life. He came from a technologically minded family and had the knack of transforming technology. He had a vision of a vehicle for the multitudes. He didn't invent the motor car, but did develop new ways of manufacturing, including the assembly line.
