What a bunch of old farts. Luckily some of us are still in our prime.

You are doing very well for an octogenarian M'lud!

I'm older than that.

I'm glad your vulva is being well looked after. Lubrication is very important.

I am painfully aware of the fact that I can only do a fraction of what I once could. There has been a dramatic decline even  within the last five years or so.
Hence I always have a to do list for my cars that never gets cleared. This annoys me greatly, even though its non urgent work. 

Top tip: Buy a decent car that doesn't need any work. 

Had one once when I was eight years old, it was called a pedal car

The Austin with electric lights?

My brother had one of them!

I still enjoy it when I find the time/ weather/ energy to do it. When I have to stop I will feel (even more) completely old and useless.
I will then have to settle for a small tedious recycled washing machine.
Thankfully, Im not quite there yet.

Small, tedious, recycled washing machine? Err.....you can buy very decent cars. Ask Opti.
I think you mean you won't part for a 'proper' car, unless it's 20 years old and runs on chip fat.

Especially old Vulva's.

You must mean Tunnie, because you're surely not talking about yourself

Nobody likes a smartarse, Aaron.

Don't put me in the same bundle as sad old boys like STMO and that Albitz fella. I'm not ready for a caravan or allotment yet.

......18 till I die.

Is that your IQ?

Once I cant have two cars (one of them very cheap to run) and maintain them myself, then I would imagine Im looking at some shitebox little hatchback thing, with high mpg and low servicing costs.
Even the WVO element will have to go at some point, as lugging 20 L containers of it and lifting them several feet in the air to tip into the filters is something I wont be able to do at some point. 
Had a thought provoking moment at work last week when one of the other two guys who do the job had a heart attack when he was there by himself and had to get someone to come and take him to hospital.
He will be out of action for at least a month, so lots of overtime. Every cloud......

Be careful you don't have a heart attack with nobody else around.......

As long as its happens quickly, I couldn't give a monkeys tbh. It comes to us all in the end.
Not bothered about when the grim reaper comes for me, as long as its quick. Getting dementia like my poor old Dad did petrifies me.

Bloke I worked with in the mid '80s turned up at work one morning complaining of stomach ache at 10am he had a massive heart attack and[according to the autopsy]was dead before he hit the floor.They said that his heart was in such a bad way that even had he been in hospital at the time of the attack he likely wouldn't have survived and it was surprising he had lived as long as he had.He was 32

More likely congenital than life style related then.

Remember the old Monkhouse joke. "I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just as my dad did. Not kicking and screaming like the 70 passengers on his coach".
