you forgot the pipe and tweed

At what age do you think 'we' are too old to play with our cars    :dontknow:  8O

Should there be an upper age limit , compulsory, where by you have to stop driving your 20VT 200 bhp MK1 monster that was built when you were old enough to drink legally   :boohoo: And grow up .

my car's got the tweed interior

you'd have been proud of us today wooders, 5 tintops, only 4 floppies

well for me when i have to start wearing a wig the car has to go
