OAP Old Age Petrolheads

[SpeedBuzz]

Took the Sag out for a run yesterday and had to stop of in town to pick up something for tea. Parked the car up in a public place just off the high street and when I returned I found two pensioners looking all over admiring the car! When they realised it was mine they started asking all questions about it and I was really surprised about their own knowledge of TVRs and fast cars, I thought god I have found a couple of Geriatric Petrolheads!
We ended up chatting for over half an hour about all sorts of things car related and I was really pleased and astonished about their enthusiasm and knowledge. As it happens they were husband & wife and drive a 3.2 Audi TT, the same as Mrs Buzz and do not hang about when they drive it from what I gathered.
Really made me pleased that people of all ages can appreciate cars like this and I hope both Mrs Buzz & I are as lively & enthusiastic as this about all things cars when we start drawing our pensions.

Had a similar event last year when I was filling up the Griff. Having paid, I came out to find an elderly lady peering in and passing complements on the condition of a ten your old example. Turns out she was over 80 and had a long history of owning sports cars. Again very knowledgeable and appreciative of TVR's.

I had an old dear give me a thumbs up, she must have been 80+ and was on a mobiltiy scooter!

Well, my pappy is 77 & still drives a T350... He had a short break due to a dodgy knee, but now he's had a plastic one put in he's well chuffed as he can hop in & out of the car with no problems again! He doesn't hang about either...
