I'm 73 will be 74 in just 2 months. I've being playing GT5 on my self built rig for one year now. I would love to challenge any other fossel of my age on any track with any car.
Hahahaha . . . .even an LOL wouldn't have cut it, Joe, when I read that - you lovable old codger - I had to laugh for real, well, virtually real anyway. LOL was too lame a laugh for that. If there were more guys like you out here, the world would be a more sensible place for sure. I've always thought it would be better to die at the virtual wheel, than any other way to die. Go out passing the finish line. Maybe Mission 34. Die happy.
Some questions - if you don't mind:
Have you played Gran Turismo (anything from the series) before?
Did you play other racing games before?
How did you come about becoming a GT player?
Many of these questions are asked by Jordan in his thread about introducing oneself to the site - but I am especially interested in your case - since I'm an old codger myself. I got a few decades to get through before I get to your position, but it inspires us oldies to know that people like you have not just given up on life, folded up and gone back to sleep.
Actually, oldies, today, have a vast amount of technology to keep them going - even wheelchair-bound - entertained all the way into that final sunset - not a lot that Charlie Bucket's grandparents had to do, but we have it all. 👍
:cheers;

Good for you Ozirules12. I think that if we entered an over 72 race, it will just be the two of us. Good health to you my china and keep on racing. The only down side of old age is that the young chicks have long since given us a miss. I've tried Viagra and it just does'nt work. My doctor says that it is designed to cure the ill not raise the dead. Not my doctor anymore.Hi Joe I am 72 & Started on sons hand me down PS1 (which I bought him ) since then GT 1/2/3/4/5& now 6 still use Ds3 controller & never played online . Grantourismo only game I play .

Meantime, would either of you like to drive online some time? Not to prove any dominance, just to have fun.
Joe, this is excellent news. And all the best for 2014!Hi GBO Possum, nice to hear OZ and myself are not entirly alone in this young environment of sim racing and yes I would love to get togther on line, it would be a blast. I am not on line yet and therefor will have to learn the ropes of on line racing. At present I'm busy with GT6 licences and almost done. Will make contact when ADSL is installed. In the meantime have a fantastic new year for you and yours.
