My dad died suddenly a year ago aged 66 (it would have been his 67th birthday today).
Monty - I don't want to get too maudlin about this, but same happened to me. The old man went suddenly at 69 (and his father at 58!) so here I am at just turning 67 thinking "bloody hell, let's get on with life...!" But to go back to the start of this thread - have no unreasonable fears; these are robust cars and are meant to be driven. They have their quirks, but don't be intimidated by problems you may read on this forum. These are admittedly real issues reported by colleagues who need help, advice or reassurance but, of course, those who have little trouble with their cars don't report it. So far, I am one of those.
