if too personal just don't respond! Not intending for this to go into editorials, long debates or attacks for asking etc.

What is your age? Mine is 71

Sort of testing about the spectrum of Model A interest. Down the road draw your own conclusions

Physically at 58 that's most days, for me.

Mentally it's often 58 going on 18.... Except for when real life interferes.

73 , and is it just me , or does time seem to go by so much faster now , why couldn't it feel this way when I was working ?

Dean Lemoine · 12-07-2018, 07:26 AM

jhowes · 12-07-2018, 08:22 AM

I'm 82 and just started another Model A resurrection. It's a 30 PU to go with my 31 2-door. Jack

Purdy Swoft · 12-07-2018, 08:22 AM

I can certainly relate to that. I'm 19, purchased my car when I was 15.

Well I can relate as well.

I am 69, bought my first A at 13 and finished the frame off at 21. I was always the youngest at the shows, and meetings. Now when I see a young guy involved it does my heart good, and I have to go over and talk to him.

I am still doing Model A's. I really believe it keeps me going and young.

apbright · 12-08-2018, 03:19 AM

Now 47.

First rode in a Model A in 1998.

Bought my first Model A in 2012. 32000 miles driven on that one, in nine countries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCbkUphkEJw

Second Model A bought in 2013. Only 2000 miles on that, but increasing daily.

Fret not young chaps, there's a quiet body of whipper-snappers interested in this madness, even whose day-jobs are about Machine Learning, VR, self-driving cars, and other techno-gadgetry. I've immodestly said many times, if you want to get noticed, a Model A trumps any dern Lamborghini, wherever you are. And I built mine with my own greasy, scarred hands.

Safe driving, Andrew
