Wow! :eek: 👍
OK Paul, you have the right to expect some respect from me. And I do that most gladly!!! :bowdown: :D :cheers:
:D I'm not quite decrepit yet. You don't have to pull over and let me pass. :D

Judging by my recent Z8 performance I don't think I'd have got past you even if you'd stopped! :) I must practice some more.


I used to be quite good, but what with old age... :P

Catch you soon, in a room. 👍

Whenever you want, but please don't forget that I'm getting time after time better as well... :sly:

However, the main thing is nice and proper fighting and first of all: Having fun!!! :cheers:

Oh and BTW, what do you think about the year '63?... :D
 
I can say 1961 was a good year. ;)
Yes it was :)

Yes it was. After Christmas '61 the film crew at Eon Productions started preparing for the first day of shooting the first
Bond movie Dr. No (January 16th, 1962). :)
Love that movie.



Speaking of James Bond and places he usually frequent I spent last night at my local casino over here and killed a few hours at the slot machines. I was just about to leave
when I got three Seven's on the screen. To my surprise they also showed GT6 information;

There are also some Brightness and Image Quality settings within the display options menu

Cheers Paul, I'll fiddle with them. I love the fact that the setting 'Brightness and Image Quality' is subtitled, 'Allows you to adjust the brightness and image quality'. That's cleared that up nicely.

I'm 54 Patrick, by the way. But until about a year ago I felt 29. Things have gone completely sideways lately, and now I'm about 85. Dammit.

Cheers, Zo.

Which Nurb are we doing 7 laps of Jocke?

I'm taking a guess here that you have never heard of James Hylton. He is a great role model for aging race car drivers and
I've been keeping an eye on his career for over a decade.

He raced full time in the highest category in NASCAR (Winston/Nextel/Sprint Cup) between ages 29 to 46. Then he continued
racing in a lower NASCAR category (ARCA) part time / full time until the age of 78.

His last season was 2013 and he participated in all 21 races that year being 78 years old.
He was 74 the last time he attempted to qualify for the Daytona 500 in 2009.

The Formula 1 layout.
 
Hey Zo! We should create a senior citizens' club...?... :lol:

If you feel like 85, try this one: ;)

Zo, you are not far from being able to join GTP's Geezer Club. You have to be 60 or older to join the fun and there are some very fast Geezers out there well into their 70's.

A few years ago, I tried to start up an old dudes group to race online and called it "ODDITY Racing".

"Old Dudes Drivin' In The Years" was a play on one of my favorite classic rock driving songs, Reelin' In The Years by Steely Dan from the 70's. Not enough computer knowledge and not many Geezers interested at the time put that on hold. A fellow TPRA member, redrkt, even made a few banners for it.

By the way, I have completed 68 laps around the sun and am coming out of turn 4 on Lap 69 and will start Lap 70 on May 30th. A car guy from day 1, I was born a few hours after the 1946 Indy 500 had ended.

It's Karma....I mean Carma.

And I thought that I was the one who was one of the oldest in the Z8 Club. But with my almost 35 times around the sun , I'm almost a brat ;) But for my little daughter who today turned 2 years, so I will well always be an old man:dopey:
It's looking like Aaroh & Jocke are the youngsters. Strange how you get a completely different impression of people.

A Happy Birthday to your daughter.
