Before you guys make any negative comments about my avatar showing the yellow rx8 and my friendly mug shot , consider that i can both LOCK & LOAD , and seldom miss my target .

HA , HA , HA .

Hi Lock & Load,

Nice pic. :-)

Fancy an old codger of nearly 50 running around in a bright yellow sports car (It is the big Five-Oh come 12th Dec isn't it??).

I believe that when old chaps get that mid life feeling and want a sports car it's known as the "Male Menoporsche"......

Of course, the fact that I'm 57 and am also negotiating to buy a yellow RX8 has nothing to do with all this.....

Cheers, Chris

Having had 23 cars in 32 years , i think i have been going thru male mid -life crisis all my life , i have owned a total of 7 sports cars , plus everything else that took my fancy at the time .

Chris your choice of the yellow rx8 is a good one , just get used to the attention , i am going to become an apprentice rx8 sugar daddy in my old age .

As i stated before : GROWING OLD IS MANDATORY GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL .

I won't put a shot of my mush up - I'd be afraid of giving all of the forums youngsters nightmares :D
