I’m 56 tomorrow and the Jag will be 59 in November.
Will be going out for a blast to celebrate (as I have been for most of this week as the weather has been good).

Your all missing the point…maybe I was too subtle, “61 years of a motoring icon” (my date of birth coincides with the E type launch so I will never forget) ….the forum header needs changing :bouncyyellow: :bouncyyellow:

I think we're all being a little obtuse, Paul.

I'm 58 days older than that motoring icon?

Done, but I was in Honduras/Belize/Mexico with three time changes excluding the one back in the UK. Header changed from somewhere in the Mexican Keys, I hope, hic!

Yes, in Sahl Hasheesh Egypt! Great Oberoi hotel who are offering mine detecting on the beach, missile spotting at night and the opportunity of AK-47 practice. They have hotel branded keffiyehs as a bonus.
