My shortened story: due to factors in Soviet controlled Poland, my uncle played my dad role.
He took me to a quarry to fire Estes-style rocket cars, and all that.. he also managed to steal a Milicja (military police) siren from work, and put it on the back of my banana style bike. As an EE, he made it actually function.
Thanks to all the hackers who made us who we are.
