Hey Fred,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the medicos - did you have to undertake a driving test to see if your medical condition really affected your ability to drive?
In my "nanny land" state of NSW, the government licencing authority recently tried to arbitrarily restrict driving rights for our senior citizens including a 10Km [6 mile] limit for those deemed to be still capable of driving even if you lived in the country and faced a 100Km+ trip to the nearest town. Also mooted was a requirement for all senior drivers to display a "S" plate on their vehicle. The resulting rebellion soon put paid to this proposal
.
The situation now is every driver over 75 has to go for an annual medical test and a driving skills test every two years after they turn 85.
Hopefully, one of the specialist diecast car model makers will include an Eos in their range and you can acquire one to truthfully say you own an Eos.
Just found one incredibly - available in blue, red and yellow: blue currently showing out-of-stock. The models are made by a French manufacturer NOREV.

May be this might ease your conscience to allow you to keep participating even though you have retired from owning a full-size Eos.
Best wishes for the future.
