What do my forum friends think?

I will of course be towing with my Rover 75 Connie CDTI tourer!

I wouldn't worry, as you are only on about number 7, out of 9

As long as you have a MGF and a Triumph Bonneville,your not old.
It's when you only have a 75 pulling a caravan your old.

Age is just a number you are only as old as you feel, I will be 45 this year but I do not feel like am I 45.

Agree it's all about how you feel,my energy levels remind me that i am coming up to 73,but my mind is still in the mid 50s. When i see young lads playing football in the park,i really believe i could have a good game if invited.

Seriously Clyde, my friend, you will be 45 this year and the next 20 years will go by in a flash and at 65 you will feel no different to what you feel today.

It’s the anniversaries that come round quicker every year - so for goodness sake everyone!!!! - enjoy every day, week, month, year because all too soon the years seem like months and every other day seems like a Friday. (Or a Saturday when ruddy “Strictly” is on as SWMBO is such a huge fan.

And to prove the point - who on here realised that this ‘highlight’, for some, of U.K. Saturday night entertainment is just three and a bit months away.....

There is no justice in this world!!

Just be happy in the knowledge that the older you get, the less you remember.....

I’ve tried this - and I’m not getting that reaction so far.

Will keep you all updated..........

It's not all bad news - I got my first oldies discount getting into Marwell Zoo yesterday for being over 60.
