We're certainly not getting any younger, and I suspect most of the contingent on here have a free bus pass or are getting close to getting one (especially with a love of old Vauxhalls or even just a passing interest).
Some jobs we wouldn't have thought twice about doing a few years ago.... but I'm not as flexible as I used to be. Yesterday was a good example of getting the exhaust monkeys to replace a cat-back system on the Omega. Yes I could have done it on the driveway in the freezing cold with just hand tools and my eyes full of rusty deposits and having to jack the car high enough to get my bulk under there.
Easy option and a couple of hundred quid lighter methinks.... might have been a different situation in the height of summer, but don't think the system would hold together for another few months, and I have to admit to being a fair weather enthusiast!
