Re: [FWDLK] FW: Man Owned & Drove Same Car for 82 YEARS

[Jan & Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Mr. Swift is now dead, so you might catch up to his 102 years 
eventually...  but since he was given his new Rolls at age 20 and had it 82 
years, you've got 60 years to go... anyone want to wager?
