Out in the Spyder today, passed a junction and spotted an F12 waiting to turn out.

When he was behind me, waited for a gap, slowed and then waved him by with a thumbs up. Then spent the next 15 minutes playing tag, enjoying the howl of his V12 and my PSE before our paths diverged.... I'm the wrong side of 45 but still a kid at heart...

I'm 48, my lad of 15 told me off for driving like I'm in Grand Turismo!
Plenty of time to be a boring old fart.

Growing old is obligatory, growing up is optional.

I for one hope to never 'grow up', I'll always be a big kid (Not in a Michael Jackson kind of way) biggrin

Went to a restaurant this lunchtime. Within 5mins, when the coast is clear, a dude about 10 runs outside with his phone and starts taking photos of the car (could see from the table window).

On the way home, stop at the petrol station to put some extra air in the tyres. While queuing inside for change / drink, when the coast is clear, a dude about 50 wanders over with his phone and starts taking photos of the car (could see from the garage window).

Plus ca change...

You're never really going to change if you like fast cars, you'll just get a little slower getting in and out of them!
