Hey petrolhead, you're still a boy. I'm 64 and life keeps gets better, it just takes a bit longer for the body to catch up that's all.

Congratulations. I hope that you continue to defy the odds. I'm 57 and survived 2 heart attacks this year. I just returned home today from a friends funeral. He was 47. Strive to live everyday to it's fullest.

HEHE The so called experts told me at 29 not to plan for a 30th Birthday party - I turn 45 next month!
Sometimes they get it wrong, but man I have enjoyed every day since that dreaded appointment I tell you!!!!

I'm not far behind you age-wise. That is why I built a Cobra with my kids while things are good all around. You never know, and need to do what you want while you still can. Next up on the list - take them to Bonneville to see some rocket cars.
