Never been this old before!
Today is my 76 birthday. Can’t walk without my walker but can still drive my antique cars. My A’s are my favourites to drive. Not as healthy as I once was but healthier than many. Have 3 wonderful children and 6 grandchildren so I have been truly blessed. Wayne

Re: Never been this old before!
Happy Birthday! You've got almost 40 years on me and i'm just starting with antique cars. Maybe one day i'll be lucky enough to be in a position as good as yours. :-)

Re: Never been this old before!
Someone once told me "All of a sudden I got old." It sneaks up on you. I keep seeing my grandpa when I look in the mirror. Make hay while the sun shines.
Happy birthday Wayne. Enjoy a ride in your A.

Re: Never been this old before!
Turned 70 last April. For some reason telling everyone I was in my 60's didn't seem nearly as old as telling people I was 70. Don't get nearly as much done as I used to but I'm still doing it so that is a good thing. Happy birthday and keep doing it.

Re: Never been this old before!
Though we've met only through this forum, I wish you a very happy birthday. I turned 76 earlier this year. It's only bad when you have no more birthdays!

Happy Birthday Wayne!. Yes, getting old can be a pita, but it beats the alternative.

Re: Never been this old before!
I am right behind you and understand the importance of enjoying every day. Our advise to the youngsters is to remember "life is like a roll of toilet paper - the less you have the faster it goes". Enjoy that ride.

Happy birthday. I'm 61, and we have 5 collector cars. My A-Model is a done car, and it is my favorite of the bunch.

Re: Never been this old before!
Wayne, my father-in-law was 90 when he passed, but thru his 80's he was very active. Someone once told him he needed to slow down & act his age and he said "I've never been this old before, I don't know how to act!"
