With her 90th birthday on the horizon, Marie Hollo had a need for speed.

The great-grandmother said she had long been a fan of Formula One racing and wanted to mark turning another year older with an advance celebration that involved being driven around a racetrack at more than 200 kilometres an hour.

On Monday, she checked that activity off her bucket list after being taken around the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ont., by veteran race car driver Peter Lockhart, who was inducted to the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2016.

91裸聊视频淚t was so wonderful. I loved every second of it,91裸聊视频� Hollo told The Canadian Press. 91裸聊视频淢y actual birthday is in November, but we celebrate it all year.91裸聊视频�

Hollo, who lives in Toronto, said Lockhart took her around the track three times.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 always excited me,91裸聊视频� Hollo said of professional racing. 91裸聊视频滻t was so much fun. I would do it any time again.91裸聊视频�

It91裸聊视频檚 not the first time Hollo has marked a birthday with an adrenaline-pumping activity.

To celebrate turning 89, she said she went skydiving. For her 84th birthday, she strapped on a harness and walked around the edge of Toronto91裸聊视频檚 CN Tower 91裸聊视频� an activity that took place 356 metres off the ground.

And when she turns 91, Hollo said she plans on going dog-sledding in Quebec.

91裸聊视频淭his is just stuff I91裸聊视频檝e always wanted to do,91裸聊视频� she said.

Born in Finland before moving to Toronto in 1953, Hollo said she91裸聊视频檚 always been stubborn and has never liked being told what to do. She said she was married for 30 years and that her now-deceased husband never wanted her to get a job or a drivers license 91裸聊视频� but she did both behind his back.

91裸聊视频淗e was always so jealous,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淗e thought I was going to go out and find another man, but I didn91裸聊视频檛.91裸聊视频�

Hollo said she always wanted to go on adventures and be a daredevil, but she wanted to wait until her three kids were older. Now she has five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

One of Hollo91裸聊视频檚 children said she fully sports her mother91裸聊视频檚 interests.

91裸聊视频淚 think it91裸聊视频檚 absolutely awesome,91裸聊视频� Hollo91裸聊视频檚 daughter, Susan Hollo Wontorra, said of her mother91裸聊视频檚 adventures.

Hollo91裸聊视频檚 doctor warned her against skydiving because 91裸聊视频渟he could die,91裸聊视频� Hollo Wontorra recalled, saying her mother responded, 91裸聊视频淲ell, I91裸聊视频檓 going to die soon anyways so I better do this now.91裸聊视频�

The only kind of activity Hollo said she isn91裸聊视频檛 considering is scuba diving, or anything to do with the ocean, explaining she almost drowned when she was a baby and has a fear of water.

Hollo said her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are always asking her what she91裸聊视频檚 going to do next.

91裸聊视频淚 always tell them that I91裸聊视频檓 not normal,91裸聊视频� said Hollo, laughing. 91裸聊视频淟ife is too short. You might not be capable to do anything later on.91裸聊视频�
