1975 a Good Year?

From Matt:
....
I had my second birthday in 1977, don't think I progressed to lego technic until about 1979/80.

1975 was a good year:

Tiger Woods was Born
VHS & Beta Max Introduced
Dutch Elm Disease kills 6.5 Million Trees in the UK
Matt was Born

A Year with its up's and down's

The Farrari 308GTB was my first "Sports Car" in 1995 only owned it for about 3 months - I lived in a flat on the Kings Road but had no parking so it was parked in the street, and it kept getting scratched by Idiots so sold it -lost a fortune.... and bought a Jag XJS instead.... from a Prancing Horse to a Kart Horse in 3 months

I suppose making a visual comparison with yourself I do look younger than 49 you have a "Lived in " look to your face, on the other hand, I moisturise every day and have avoided the worry lines bought on by working with yourself...

Wait for the Invitation which is coming your way for my 50th birthday bash
