Faltheadfan, you know what Mark Twain said about statistics: There's lies, damn lies, then there's statistics.

Whatever you'd like the numbers to show, a fair to middlin' statistician can produce the calculations to prove your point.

Three rules to growing old.

1) Never pass a bathroom

2) Never waste a woody.

3) Never trust a fart.

I'm 58 in March ( i can still trust a fart.

I spend all my time in the Model A forum but saw this thread and figured I'd post over here. 34 years young here and restoring my granddad's 31 coupe.

Its been a long process but a fun and rewarding journey. Chassis is all done and now I'm diving into the paint and bodywork stage.

65 in April

BigIron · 02-24-2015, 11:42 PM

33 years old in May!!

I bought my model T when I was 21(sold it a year later),
my 1934 pickup at 22,
and my 57 Chevy at 27

I respect my elders, but don't underestimate us youngsters

If as you say, you truly respect your elders, take this advice to heart:
Rid yourself of that Brand X before it kills your passion for real automobiles.

I just turned 25x3. However, my trucks a few months older and still going strong

larry butcher · 02-25-2015, 01:37 PM

Heading for 73 next Nov. , but after working 6-7 hrs on my latest V12 Lincoln; I
need the next day to recuperate. I'am a late starter, compared to some of you other
guys. I got into the hobby Dec. 1966 Larry

earlyv8 · 02-25-2015, 07:14 PM

I'm 77, first V8 at 16.
Like Mike, I've been asked if I bought my current car new.

Will be 79 in June. Still have 3 "project" Fords to restore, and 3 finished. I stay young by vintage racing a English Clubman car.
