In my pre-MS days I used to enjoy driving my car.

Today, as I was trundling along in my super charged battery operated wheelchair, I was overtaken by a young child on a bicycle!

Eagle, I think it`s absolutely marvellous that you trundle along in a super battery charged wheelchair. Good luck in all you do, and don`t worry too much about those fast youngsters!

Eagle of course your slower, you older and more cautious. The youngsters always race by us oldies. But if you would like maybe FG could pool their $ and skip paying whomevers "rent" and buy you a "souped up turbo Battery" and then look out all you punks hehehehe.

Have a good day anyway my friend.

Hey Eagle, youngsters are always in a hurry to nowhere. It is when they get older that they'll realise that life is more of a "much haste less speed" situation. Cheers!
