<DIV dir=ltr>Well, THAT was harsh. You might want to forward that to his
family just so they know how you feel about him. When exactly is it you
think we should all stop driving? Is it 75? 80? I'm
71, I just want to get your advice on what age I'm endangering other
people.

<DIV>That was easily the most insensitive posting I have ever seen on
this list.</DIV></DIV><BR>

<DIV style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: white">To be honest, I have no respect for
such a person, or better 82 years old fart who brought others in danger with
his driving. Thankfully no other person was invoved and injured. <BR><BR>Its
very common all over in central Europe to have these ditches, trees or even
walls along country roads. That is how we love it. <BR><BR>For big money you
can book in to take part in one of these leasure raĺlys, where you get all
accomodation organised, only you have to come from a to b along. these
rallys are mainly booked from those mainly elderly people who do not know
what to do otherwise with their money, even they are completely overextended
by driving an old classic car. <BR><BR>One should be wise enough to give up
driving, when you are no more capable to drive. <BR><BR>I am only sorry
about the wrecked Austin-Healey.</DIV>

"open" ditches--they were filled with rocks. <BR><BR>I fondly
recall the time we missed a left-hander, went off the road, somehow hurtled
OVER the ditch and landed in a tree in a fellow's front yard. As I
remember it he stood there rather stunned while we cleared the branches out
of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and took off without much
conversation. <BR><BR> <BR><BR>Best--Michael Oritt <BR><BR><BR>On Wed,
