    She was also taught, during WWII, minor automobile maintenance. True.

    Minor be damned, she could tear down and rebuild a truck engine. She was a mechanic in the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service).

  • What Element says is very true.  She's always driven ... probably mostly on her own property for security reasons though.  She's pretty impressive IMO.

    But a Range Rover?  I have heard that they are 'not so good.'

    I hope to be driving at 93, too, but I won't be wearing a babushka when I do!

    I did know that and I've always thought that if I ever got in a game of chicken with her I'd be the one chickening out because she is pretty steadfast. Cheers!

    Nope, it's you Yanks that drive on the wrong side. Left is right.

    Yes, but Henry Ford of Detroit put the world on wheels, and he wanted the steering where he put it on millions of vehicles.

    Karl Benz was building horseless carriages while Ford was still in diapers.

    Yep.  And she doesn't even have to have a driver license. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at January 15, 2020 7:29 PM MST

    Fair joke, but anyone who has to ask her for iD is pretty soon embarrassed.
