Well, in about 30 years I might just about have the e30 back on the road and be thinking about starting on the camper van

Tbh, I’ll still be tinkering with cars until I’m physically unable to. If we’re not allowed to drive them any more I’ll just keep them to look at and sit in

Reading my first post back it all seems a little too easy for us, so to put things into context we both worked full time, had final salary type pensions and did AVCs too. We also have no kids which is the biggest saving! Maybe life will be tough and lonely towards the end if we make it through our eighties, who knows, but that's the trade off for having a fun, easy life until then. I always joked that if I make it to 88 I'll hire a Ferrari and crash it into the harbour at Monaco to go out in a blaze of glory. Watch out for the headlines in 21years.

You can always do a Bernie Ecclestone and have a kid at 89

Nah, go for the Ferrari option...

Mine will be pushing supermarket trolleys the way things are going

You can make the brum brum noises, drift them and lecture young whippersnappers about the good old days of petrol engines

Forge some knives.

This.

And I want to have a crack at making my own drums and cymbals to be honest.

Anyone fancy starting an undeground petrochemical company so we can maintain our obsession?

Synthetic petrol is already perfectly possible, it's just not economically viable yet. It's only carbon + hydrogen and there's no shortage of those. Needs huge amounts of renewable electricity before it's practical.

Doesn't prince Charles have an Aston DB6 that runs off wine and cheese? Where there is a will there is a way.

In 33 years time, the NHS will raise the pension age from 68 to 72... then four years later from 72 to 77... etc etc ad infinitum. I will die performing a rectal exam aged 97.
