I was 84 when I joined and had a Targa at the time, of course my name too. Made sense then, but I can't update it every year.

My beard was red when I joined. I don't plan on changing it...

Widgeon is a great airplane made by Grumman, my FIL had one for 50 years and I flew with him on many occasion. We also named our golden Widgeon, well because she is the best.

13 is my lucky number.

Was my CB handle, ( insert old man joke) which was a nickname given to me from street racing buddies. Then it became the name of my drag bike and later email address.

It's the name of some guy of no consequence here in the US, and of a renowned Porsche racer in Oz.

Now I am retired I drive less so am attempting to be greener in my 60's age range.
Recently been in Palm Springs so I felt like one of the young uns there.
I am on a program of constant improvement so I question whether it is working.
