TR75.... good effort, but no prize im afraid .
The R100 ( not R75) made history in the summertime 3 years (to the day minus one) after my birthday. Maybe you should have read further into the article you found ...... and a prayer to Saint Hubert would have helped . Last edited by DerekS; 24th August 2014 at 00:21.. |

I think this thread will never reveal the oldest member.
A) he cant remember his age anyway B) he cant read the screen C) hes in the car wondering how he got there and cant set the satnav D) hes wondering what all the switches are for and forgotten how to start it . E) hes trying to work out the R100 clue I gave earlier. etc etc... |

My dad stopped driving his Tourer a few months ago when he had a stroke straight after breaking his hip. At that time he was 83.
My sister in law now has the car although my dad still considers it "his". |

Sorry to hijack the thread (just had some *&^/#$ pull out of a quiet side road into another quiet road in front of me without looking and then stop ACROSS THE ROAD to look at his phone, then seem surprised to see the front end of my hi-roof transit inches away from his drivers door putting a long long blast of my (really very loud) horns straight in his ear hole. he then sped off the wrong way up a slip road onto the nearby dual carriageway. as I drove off, I saw that he was stopped and trying to reverse back down). |

I also believe that there should be a maximum number of times people can sit a driving test. if you cant pass after 5 attempts (as an example) then you shouldn't be on the road! |
