At the risk of being off topic...

My Granny (for those who knew her (or were delivered by her), Eva Texler) used 
to drive an apple green Volkswagen Beetle and say the rosary at the same time 
(the beads were draped around the indicator stick). Osteoporosis was not kind 
to her, hence she sat on pillows and peered through the spokes of the steering 
wheel that was clutched by arthritic fingers. She stopped driving in her late 
80's.  She lived to 95 years.

Somebody, or something (or perhaps luck) was looking after her, because her 
driving in her later years was a worry!

Don't diss the beads man!..  ;-)

Hi Michael,

Your Gran did not deliver me but she tried to take me out many times on the 
small kink in Seaview Rd to the south of her house.
She drove the racing line to straighten it out regardless of who or what was 
there.

I suppose being a fellow catholic is what saved me.
