Hang on real tight, because the ride starts getting real fast from now. Blink and before you know it, the big 50 will be staring you in the face.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I never thought I would make it this far. I could never see me being this age when I was younger.

Been outside cleaning the Z all morning. May have to go clean on the 70 later.

Everyone have a great day!!

Lucky Duck. I'm still figuring out how to squeeze a Z past the wife and keep the C3. I suppose its a function of time, but who wants to wait. I'm not getting any younger...............

I thoought he meant his car too at first.. and then it hit me that '68 production was probably over by 8/15. So while he turns 41... all our '68's are starting to turn 42 sequentally. HDB dood!

Happy Birthday!!!
I believe 40 to 50 are the BEST years. You're as smart as you're ever going to be AND everything is still in working order.
Regards,
Alan
