Am I officially old now?

Dart2050 · 24th May 2018, 20:36

I am in my 60th year and doing a few crazy things eg started car racing for first time!
Today I bought a caravan, my son says that makes me officially old!
What do my forum friends think?

I will of course be towing with my Rover 75 Connie CDTI tourer!

Nah, you are as old as your mental age, me.. im still 12 cos ya can get away with most things when your 12.

Regardless of the number of years, enjoy the life you have. I managed to achieve my freefall parachute jump on my 60th. My son is over forty years old and I remind him that "he is older than I am". I'll more than likely be doing my weekly nutty therapy, riding roller coasters tomorrow, happy in the knowledge that I will ride more than any other person on that day, every time. Drinking a scotch right now, and not to excess. Nothing to excess, everything in moderation, except the nutty events. Be happy in planning your next silly event.

Had great fun watching 'Figure of Eight' caravan banger racing at Wimbledon back in the day.

I must be old, already having the mid life crisis. I am not joking either, talking about my health and mental state, which has not been fantastic lately, and I’m about 10 years behind you guys.

Age is but a number. I am 70 next birthday, and on Tuesday was elected Mayor of the Borough of Wellingborough! Hoping to have a very interesting and busy year - the fleet will have to take a back seat for a while I fear.

I agree age is but a number,

if only Arthritis, memory loss, dentures, back pain, poor eyesight, hair loss, dementia, haemorrhoids, prostate inflammation, muscle wastage and slow reactions were but words...…
