Cant speak for your mother , but my grandads 77 , just had a pacemaker fitted (should have seen his face when they told him he couldnt weld) And currently runs around in a MG ZR and an old MGA twin cam , and is currently looking for an MG RV8 , he never seems to complain about the ride in any of his the i was a bit worried when we drifted sideways round a roundabout in the MGA
