Providing I can: yes.

That said... if, in 2003, you'd asked me where I'd be in life in 2013, I would have gotten it all wrong.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Thats a "heck yes" for this white duck, just more or less getting started, and if they wont sell me petrol, I will substitute the plastic and get to changing the still from Bourbon to Methanol.

And if things get really bad before then, could actively campaign for VMX with wider axles. Something like a VMX based trike class. If I end up in wheel chair, I would still be dreaming of horse power I think.

Made it this far, might make it further yet, that would be really cool, and even cooler with a hyped up chair, wouldn't be able to catch you if you did a runner

I'll be 73 so I doubt I'll be racing as I rarely do that now at 63. I reckon I'll still be involved in some way though. I love it.
