Watched the current series finale of Fifth Gear last night.
Something Jason Plato said made me look up his age. I was very surprised to learn that he is a year younger than me.
Not, I hasten to add, because I think he looks older than me - I do actually think he looks younger than me.
But because of the length of his motor racing career and because he wears a flat cap.
But, enough about commenting on the looks of motoring journalists who are younger than me as they get older.
My main take from that programme involved Vicki (aged 52) hooning around in the Ford Mustang Dark Horse - and thoroughly enjoying it.
This was a car that I had just watched Dennis Collins (who is actually about 18 month OLDER than me) hooning around in his latest edition of Coffee Walk.
Dennis commented on how the manual versions (like his) seemed very rare - in fact his local dealer wasn't aware of another one.
Vicki was driving one though so I suspect that is a US/EU thing. She also announced that it is available in right-hand drive.
Which is nice.
The other thing Dennis said that slightly amused me was that not many people over there had heard of The Dark Horse Mustang.
Maybe time to look up what "Dark Horse" actually means.?
