Eighty Years In The Fast Lane
by Victor Thompson
Victor Thompson's Eighty Years In The Fast Lane is not an ordinary autobiography. It's the story of a man in his 80s who, while reflecting on a hectic past, is really only interested in looking forward.
Thus the tale jumps from now and then, here and back with no discernible pattern over those decades, as his always fertile mind recalls the many formative incidents and escapades. It's only tomorrow that interests him.
Why else would such a man have ridden out his own 12 racehorses every morning on one week in October 2025 then, rather than spend the afternoons with his feet up, go out on his Hymac machine and cut three miles of ditches on his own land? That's Victor in a nutshell. Perpetual motion!
