Hard to believe that I've been a BCF member for 21 Years. How does time go so fast? :unsure: The BCF seems more like family than a bunch of guys just beating on old Brit cars just to keep them running! ;) Basil has done a great job keeping this site clean so all family members can read without distaste or humiliation. Thanks Basil, keep up the good work! (y)

May will mark 24 years since I joined, and I was only 21 at the time. Wow, I've been on this forum for more than half my life.

No, you don't. I can't tell you how often I've thought that I'd have been better off in almost every regard had I been born in 1930 instead of 1980.
 
And imagine your early life had you been born in 1910, and you came of age during the Great Depression and WW2.

Talk about stress - and possibly early death from starvation and/or war.
 
You're right Tom; every generation has its perils it must face. There is plenty I like about my own lifetime, but that doesn't lessen the allure that the past has for me.
 
There are things about the past that I wish we still had, the need for face to face contact for one rather than staring at a little device that's essentially glued to so many folks hand. The learning of manners when we're all interfacing directly, maybe not smiles and handshakes and such, but politeness. Getting out as a kid, running around with friends. And so on.
 
What if one of them is not a finger?
