Britain's Oldest Drivers

[CortinaDave]

Found this on You Tube... in a similar kind of vein to Tales of Modern Motoring - following various giffers still behind the wheel despite being well over 90...

 

 

It's a three parter... some decent giffershite involved too....

My grandfather was 94 when he died, he stopped driving 2 weeks before he died - and that was because for those 2 weeks he was in hospital (drove himself there).

worryingly he was of an age where he never took a "Driving Competency Test".

Still, he never had an accident (saw loads in his rear view mirror....)

There's a SERIOUSLY old lady who drives round my town in an XJ8, and she seems to be able to handle it OK, as there are no "giffer marks" on it. I've seen the woman getting out of the car, and she's mid-eighties at least. Fair play to her, most of the 20-somethings round here couldn't drive their finger up their nose.

The 93 year old lady with the BMW E30, "Where's the fuck my stick" just made me spit my coke over my keyboard!

Missed this the first time around, thanks for the nod, that was an entertaining lunch break.

I saw an octogenarian lady driving a mint Mk1 Escort 2dr on Friday...now she was the ultimate scene tax queen!...also back in Wanganui NZ was an old boy driving a similar turquoise version..he looked very proud of it...

My BX came from a great chap who was nearly ninety. He wasn't giving up driving but was changing to a diahatsu and giving up on home maintainance
