Just wondered how everyone is health wise.
I am coming up on 64. I had 2 heart attacks and a cardiac arrest ( in the hospital ) when I was 48. I have stents in both my legs. I used to smoke 60 fags a day (which didnt help ) other than that I keep fine. I have never had a broken bone saying that I will probably fall on my arse tomorrow

Im 64, and have to pace myself or start gasping for air, other than that it all works but at a slower speed, and in the words of Rick Wakeman, if i'd have known it was gonna last this long I would have taken better care of it.

I'm 61 and don't have any serious physical problems as far as I know. I have some tinitus and need a couple of dioptres in front of my eyes if I need to read anything. I suspect the CPU will fail before any bodily problems bring me down. I just hope I have the where withall to sit the garage with the engine running before all the marbles disappear.

Not quite that old but still falling apart - got a spinal cord stimulator to control nerve damage pain so not supposed to go near magnetic fields including transformers (MIGs) and induction motors (compressors)..

Not noticed any ill effects.

Only one car older than me - a 1938 Rover 16

May I register as a fellow geriatric?I am 73 and,thank God,in good health.
I find some hills steeper than they used to be otherwise O.K.although I have recently found some old injuries,sustained while in the Prison Service,making my skull creak and one eye feels as if it is being crushed somewhat but it doesn't usually last too long.I didn't see this guy coming at me,no incident,and I was indebted to a prisoner who flattened this character because I was pretty woozy.The assailant was deemed unfit to plead, by the M.O.",DUE TO HIS MENTAL CONDITION"
Just lucky he didn't use the large scissors they had in the shop on me.

I've turned 67 and am rather lucky with my health. Everything is still hanging together despite a very serious car accident nine years ago. My only slight problem is my plumbing, a problem that most men seem to get around this time in life.

In the meantime, I enjoy my motoring pursuits! I have 3 cars older than I am which makes me feel good! ('26 Chrysler, '28 Morris Cowley and '32 Austin Seven)

I'm just knocking 72 and the only thing I seem to suffer from is a general lack of enthusiasm! I can generally do it! But it takes a hell of a lot of pushing to make me!
I have friends(?) though who bully me into joining in what they do on their motorbikes and cars. Usually I find I enjoyed it, but I DO need that push.
Still not sure about the 700 miles around Wales on my "yesterday motorbike" a couple of weekends ago though!
Jim.
