Default WOW!! Over 50 years

You know you are getting on a bit when you start rembering events that happened over 50 years ago. Looking through some old papers today I realised that it was 50 years on the 1st May that i passed my test.

Also added up my car log & ive done 750,000 miles in that 50 years if you say at an average of 30mph thats 25000 hours in a bl**dy car or getting close to 3 years .

As you have guessed im bored .

If you'd had a 200 mph sierra 50 years ago rod that would have been only 3500 hours behind the wheel subject to Mark letting you drive of course
