Last month I reached the milestone age of 65 years, meaning that pension funds come flooding in and I can now enjoy my elderly days of my life.
To celebrate this day I bought myself something special and no, it was not a model car.
I hired a vintage 1952 (year of my birth) Rolls Royce Hooper Silver Wraith, Empress Line with a chauffeur and we went to a car museum, had some lunch and next the return trip.
I enjoyed a monumental day in a monumental car, something I will never forget, and which I will repeat in the (near) future.

Re: To celebrate my birthday
65...Hmm, just maturing I reckon
What a great way to celebrate your birthday in a Rolls-Royce (a brand you like) fitted with a Hooper body connected to Jaguar/Daimler (another brand you like), through Lady Docker.
I am very happy for you Gerrit and thank you for showing pictures that are now very close to you, on this forum.

It was Classic Park in the city of Boxtel. Quite nice, really a lot of very interesting cars.
