Well I'm 40 today and was not expecting anything other than my fav choccys that the kids get me. Well I had mentioned that I was thinking of upgrading my TX to a DX8 a few months back. Well today the Mrs said we where going out for lunch with family which we did. What she didn't mention was on route we would be stopping off at my LMS which she had already spoke to and we picked up: A DX8, some fuel and a new Glow stick then we popped in to North Face to get me a new jacket for these cold winter months, much better that the jackets at Tesco's Well I wish I was 40 every year.

All went downhill after that though..

Firstly, to MikeS - Happy Birthday young man! Martyn - that sound rather similar to my 40th, though mine was "only" 14 years ago. I had a day at the Nigel Mansell racing school at Brands Hatch - a couple of sessions in a touring car then the Formula First after lunch. Great day! I also got a half-hour flight in a Robinson R22 down at Shoreham. I have video evidence of my attempts at hovering somewhere. If I feel brave one day I might put an edited version of it on youtube .. For my 50th I had an hour in a Eurostar microlight (gorgeous little plane!) flying from Eshott in Northumberland. I even got to land it twice (and no, I don't mean I landed once and bounced!) The instructor must have been a brave man! |

![]() 1739 forum posts 212 photos | Happy 40th B'Day, can you feel your sore back? starting to nod off during the afternoon? getting a little harder to read the print in the instructions of your new transmitter? forgetting where you put the car keys? little kids pointing at you and saying to their mum "that old guy has a new model." Welcome to the fold. |
