Well, I suspect that this post will resonate with many on TM, the cars seem to appeal to what is now known as the Boomer generation for some reason. Simons post got me thinking - should we, as we get older, slow down, or just go for it with what we are able to do. Using Simons example, when the tank gets really low, do you just slow right down and make your fuel last as long as possible, only to fill the tank and continue at full chat for a bit longer or when refilling, take it a bit easier and hope to get more miles out of a tank?
Today, for what it's worth, is my 80th birthday, and frankly, I think I am a little surprised to have made it at all, with high cholesterol, blood pressure and a stent, apart of course, from all the normal joint replacements, so I'm a bit stiffer, finding it more difficult to bend over and of course, find I drop more stuff on the floor! Getting out of the Morgan is something I have to give a little thought to, and whilst I still get under the car, getting up again is a pia.
However, I still ride my bike frequently, (electric these days), bought a kayak recently and intend to get out in that, although I'm not sure if I will actually try the roller skates I impetuously bought last year, and of course still drive my Morgan and the Caterham Seven, as often as I can.
So, I am obviously trying hard not to miss that last final drive, whenever it comes...........
