Oldest passenger? 91
Hi, today I visited some friends of the family as the chap was interested in the kit car, l took him for quick spin, he's 91 and loved it.
Afterwards said it was like sitting in a rocket. We managed to get him in ok, but getting out again was a team effort with his 86 year old wife and I
eventually extracting him from the car.
A very good day out. I just hope I can last that long and still have his zest for life.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

On a linked topic, a couple of weeks ago I went on a stag do and the grand father of the bride came for the weekend.
82 years old and he did the LOT! 4X4 mud buggies, clay pigeon shooting, go karting, white water rafting and nightclubs to 2am!!
He was a fanny magnet, the hen parties loved it. He even got flashed by a drunk MILF in a bar!
All weekend we all kept on saying how much we hope to have that much life left in us, he was hilarious.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Life's great, make the most while you can, you are never too old. Well done bi22le for giving him the chance.

Took my wife's uncle out in the back of the original twin engined Furore, I think he was 83 or 84 at the time, he absolutely loved it.
He's 91 now & last year took him up in my plane (a Jabiru J400 for those interested in these things) as a belated treat for his 90th
birthday, we'd barely left the runway when he was asking if he could have control!! Once we were clear of the airfield I let him fly it for a
while & he managed with no problems at all, I just took over for the final & landing - a week later he tells us he's booked a flying
lesson at his local airfield! Brilliant!
As said, I just hope I still have the ability & the desire to do these things if/when I ever get to that age 
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Good effort - just goes to show if you've got it hang on to it!
I once took my 38 yr old brother in law for a spin in my MK Indy. He's not a shy chap and quite a keen driver, but he was very quiet by the
time I dropped him off at his house
