We now have a Website started by Kews Art, Thompson Smith, were you can find all kinds of good stuff dedicated for the Mature/Enthusiastic Driver. I ordered the OFMC Grill Badge from Kewl Art so I can adorn my 2008 MCSm upon her arrival from UK in a week.

Greetings Kal,

I've shipped your order out via USPS Priority Mail this morning. Looks for it in 3-4 days. Thank you again for the order.

Also, please tell all your old fart friends that I've launched a new store on cafepress.com. I've got clothing, hats, T-Shirts, mugs and a really kewl clock design. I've based this on a Porsche 356 SC tachometer and just designed this last night. I plan to put up loads more designs and a MINI Cooper tachometer clock design too!

Cool! I would love to see the Shield logo within an octagon, ala MG. But that's just me, official old fart, with an official old sports car.

 

I just looked at those items a few minutes before checking the forums here. He's got some interesting stuff. BTW, when do you actually become an 'Old Fart' so you can join the club?

I want to give Thompson a big . I placed my third order with him last night. The products are good quality and I always received great service from him.

 

Thanks guys. I'm really tickled over the retro Porsche 356 inspired (pretty darn close to the original) tachometer clock design that I came up with and can't wait to do the MINI Cooper S version as well. Stay tuned, loads more to come!

 

Thank You for asking. You can join and become a full fledged member of the "Old Fart Motoring Club", when you are comfortable to say "I am an "Old Fart" and not really believing it in your heart. Also of not being embarrassed when called an "Old Fart". This of course has to be said by everyone and especially by Your Significant Other in a loving way. All of the above is just "tongue in cheek" and I'm making this all up as I go along. Isn't it great to be able to make fun of yourself.

 

Anyone can join. Although, you know you're an Old Fart Motoring Club member when...
... you let your mustache grow and it comes out all grey
... someone asks you how you are doing, and usually respond with "well, at least I woke up today".
... "huh what did you say honey?" is a big part of the conversation with your wife
... you really like prunes
... the art of deflating turns into music
... you wear real leather string back driving gloves and use them everyday
... the act of deflating feels really good and wakes most people up in the neighborhood
... all you think about is downshifting

I'm sure there are more rules. Maybe you guys can help me out and come up with the top 10 list.

 

I've got a few more Old Fart checklist items:

When you watch the Music Awards program and have no idea who most of the people are

When your ipod contains no music newer that 1976

When you have more ear hair than hair on the top of your head

When you get a dog to blame for your off-gassing

When your definition of extreme sports includes walking 9 holes before you rent a cart

Hey - I resemble those remarks!

 

You wake up in the morning and try to determine what doesn't hurt.

When you get a haircut, they offer to trim your eyebrows.

You take more naps than your cat.

At a restuarant you pick your food based on how much gas it will give you.

Sign me up! I'm there!
-skip-

 

When you look at a teen age girl and say she would be a good baby sitter.

When you look to see if the restuarant give a early bird special.

When you ask at what age do you get a Sr. discount.

My Son says I will be an Old Fart when I turn 50. One year to go.

 

How about when the burble and pop is coming from the inside of the MINI.

 

...when the cutie behind the counter asks you for ID when buying a drink, and you respond,

"Bless you, my dear..."

 

Thompson, thanks for becoming the one stop shop for all our old fart needs.

Very nice products. When will the OFMC logo'ed Depends be available?

 

Ok, I vote these two in on the official top ten list! Bahhh, good ones Skip!

 

Thanks. All good. Huh? Waaaht? Depends? OMG! Which side?

 

First of all "I AM AN OLD FART". You know you're an OLD FART when you have underwear in your drawer that is older than the MA that sold you your MINI

 

Man, I thought I was an Old Fart, but this place is REALLY for the fossils.

 

Wow, I couldn't agree more. I can make fun of myself and have hair growing everywhere but my head but I'm not ready to suck dirt yet. My idea of extreme sport is a class 5 rapid or running a SCCA Hill Climb. Food, bring on the hot stuff, screw the gas. I believe in the adage, I may grow old but I'll never grow up. Long live Peter Pan.

 

I find the term "peter pan" rather unsettling.

 

You're an Old Fart, if you immediately know what someone is talking about when they complain about the points in their fuel pump!

 

Fuel Pump?? I thought they were on my license.

 

I think Gromit might have had a senior moment. On a MINI, the distributor is hidden by the fuel pump.

 

They don't use points on the distributor anymore, do they????

 

Of course they do. At least that is the consensus here at the home.

 

It is my understanding that they are electro-magnetic now, which is why you don't change points on a tune-up anymore.

 

Shhhh! Don't say "electro-magnetic" too loud. With all the pacemakers and such around here, everyone gets all a twitter when they hear anything about magnets and electricity. This is the kind of information that is best kept to ourselves.
