every Saturday night, must admit age does take it's toll on driving ability.

Age sometimes has an effect.

Other people, makes no difference.

I know of at least two pensioners who have more driving talent individually
than everyone in here put together.
Don't care how good you are, these guys are better.

I remember being passed on the outside of a LH bend on the A2 between
Portrush and Portstewart by a pensioner. It's a 50 limit, part of the NW200
race curcuit and I was doing 70+.

Said granny was driving an Alfa 75.

Mercedes used to have a seriously psychopathic old dude as a test driver.
Guido Moch, I was once passed by him on a pretty twisty A road (well, Kraut
A road) near the MB factory and he was most definately still *very* quick
indeed.

That's the reason I want a W124 500E, the sound from the thing was epic.

She was old, grey haired with glasses.

Than again, maybe it was SteveH. ;-)
