Growing Old

[Darwin]

Walt you're just a kid. I have socks older than you. Class of '69 here. I just celebrated (?) 75 years on the planet.

I really thought growing old would take longer.

I usually say "Kid,I've got cars older than that".

I have said that too, still have my first Sunbeam Alpine I've had for just about 51 1/2 years...

Another project that I probably won't get to - my first car. One of three 1968 BMW 1602s bought in '79. I need to retire.

I can't remember the year, but I do recall that the year that I graduated from high school everybody was excited about the invention of the wheel. We already had fire, but he wheel was a really big deal.

Darwin, my man! How are you? Did you ever buy a new top for your Spitfire or are you going to weather winter without one again?

You graduated with Tom?

 

[NutmegCT]

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time ...

Top! I don't need no stinkin' top. You youngsters are just to soft. It takes a real man to drive a Spitfire in the dead of winter with no top. (It also helps if yer a bit daft in the head,)

 

[Hamish Racing]

I guess you are about 12 years old when you graduate in the USA then ?!

 

[AngliaGT]

You graduated with Tom?

Tom was his teacher.

Is that Tom's Daughter on the left?

 

[BobHaskell]

I can relate.

I'm guessing that most of us can. May-be Basil can put together a histogram of our ages and see if we're normally distributed or not. I didn't say normal - not going there.

Please don't

I'm as normal as any deranged classic British car owner can ever hope to be. Which isn't much I grant you, but this insanity is the only thing that brings any sanity into a world devoid of common sense. This convoluted statement just proves I am right.
