Anyone that knocks you, should just ask what their Dads do at 60 (or Grandads if they are that age) and see the difference.
You're still MAD though

I never said anywhere that i was knocking rod either.
.Is your brother going to help him achieve his wish? Or is the case of most 60+ year olds, where you KNOW they couldn't be trusted not to either crash it when the boost comes in, or have a cardiac arrest when ditto, or both at once

and Rod, it wasnt aimed at thrashing you, it was aimed at being able to take a cossie out and drive it like its meant to be driven.
See, always on the defensive

My uncle is 64 and he was not hanging around when he was driving the Sierra at Donnington on the 29th considering he had never driven the car or the track before and it was VERY VERY slippery out there!
I think he was going quicker than I was actually

the age thing is more down to the mental attitude of the person and how they look after themselves too.if you are keeping yourself busy with something i think you have more want to get up in the morning,no matter what it is.
i know its a different thing but look at sly stallone,he aint far from 60 and he is back boxing and weight training.

Its not a TUV approved age of 60, its only about 21 in reality, well certainly seems that way to anyone who knows him
