New dawn in IG's life

40 years ago tomorrow my poor mother went through unbearable pain to pass me into this world. Now four decades later she's still going through that pain!!!!

This is now the time for me to officially start celebrating my mid life crisis. It will be setting in at some point tomorrow morning and will go on undoubtedly for a few years.

To help me get through this heinous day I will be taking the day off and golfing at Sandy Hills. (Have a gander at the first two holes )

Rosapenna Golf Links

I expect to be shell shocked after this round and will be consoling myself with whiskey! I may even get my ear pierced! And probably a few more drivers!!!

All the best IG. Which will it be then? a motor bike with all the leathers or an open top car? Which mid life crisis will you choose???

Happy birthday IG!

I think an Aston Martin will help you get over the crisis pretty well.

Happy Birthday IG. You're too young to have a mid-life crisis. But buy yourself that Aston Martin anyway.

The 40's are your best years! Trust me. When you hit 60 you have to start worrying.

When I went through mine I bought a boat. Only problem is that the payments last longer than the crisis.

The Aston Martin is best idea so far.

Happy birthday IG! Lyle gives some good advice, trust him on this one...

Warbirdlover is right too. Or at least I hope so since I'm well into that phase of my life too.

Although I've had motorcycles my whole life, I got my first Harley-Davidson (Low Rider) when I reached my 40s. I'm now 60, and so far, can still ride.
