Elderly drivers and cars

Re. the news of late concerning elderly drivers and cars - I thought you would like this - sent to me by a friend in the US:

101 year old driving an 81 year old car!
Notice at the very end when she steps on a little red towel to get into the car so she won't dirty the running board, then picks it up and puts it in the car so she can use it when she gets out! Precious lady!

An amazing lady, 101 years old, driving an 81 year old car who
changes the oil and spark plugs herself! Click on link below:

What a fantastic LOL. No qualms about taking a drive with her. We ran another item recently about an old American guy who had been running a 1929 Rolls Royce all his life.
