Hi folks, used to build race cars in the 1960s and 70s but can’t get out of the habit of making things. I live on the sunny south coast and have a workshop I could rebuild a 1070 Dodge Challenger in.

I bet the true answer to ‘what age are you’ is not 42 if you been building racecars in the 60’s. Maybe, how old do you feel?
