It's game over for you, you'll never survive the build!! Well you might with good medical help!
So, apart from the guy in the states that trashed his car on the hill climb, is Tuckshop the only other Ultima driver to have written his car off. What happened to 14 FC i heard that got wrecked as well? Does anyone know how Tuckshop is, he is truly turning out to be a legend in his own lifetime. 
by the way, i am 41 but who knows i could be well over 50 by the time i finish the build!
by the way, i am 41 but who knows i could be well over 50 by the time i finish the build!I'm sure that I have the honour of being the oldest. I have no regrets as I'm sure in my time I've accomplished and done more than I ever dreamt I would do.
One of my favourite planes when I was a kid was the Lancaster bomber, and I remember hearing what they were doing right at that time.
I remember when a man by the name of Kearns who was renting a flat in my parents house with his wife got his wings in the RCAF, and he let me wear his peaked cap.
I remember my mother and grandmother crying when it was announced that FDR had died.
I remember getting a half day off at school in Toronto when VE day was announced, and I was in Times Square in New York with my parents when the balloon went up announcing the official end of WW II.
Oh, and last week I won my class with the Formula Continental at Watkins Glen.
Next February I'll be 69!!

Is this thread closed at 69?
Well I just wanted to note Dian (female), who takes the Ultima GTR out often and last summer did a solo 878 mile drive from Prague, Czech Republic, to Chippenham, England -- getting lost only once in Luxemburg -- is 57.
Of course I (49) had the pleasure of soloing the 878 miles return, almost entirely at night, and at higher speeds, to take advantage of the open roads.

Well i am VERY late 40's! (49.99999999) Do the factory do a zimmer frame attachment? Cant find it in the "extras" price list!
Best bit is that insurance cost is going down at last for all my cars. Wonder if SAGA do ultima insurance?
I am very late 40's!! (49.9999999999) So, 2 questions: 1) where is the zimmer frame attachment on the Ultima price list?
2) Do SAGA do Ultima insurance?
PS: Had a god day at Brooklands sunday... did the "hill climb" which was fun. Its about a foot wider than the ultima (it seemed - but eyesight fading fast see above!)
