Things I'll miss when retired
I retired early (55) in July last year. Life has never been better. The best part is the very significant reduction of 'have to' in your life. Enjoy yourself!- Talbot

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
An electric wiper upgrade is great if its not too fiddly. I upgraded to electric on my old 49 Ford years back and was very pleased with the result. I tried the same on my 54 Chev and gave up in frustration with the cable drive arrangement. Very challenging.- Talbot
