Poll: What Group are you in?

[ajmathews]

Hello--I am a new member, just acquired a 1960 Triumph TR3, my second Triumph. My first was a 1966 TR4 and am very excited about getting back in it all. I know this may sound ridiculous but I don't know how to post a question. I am responding here to Basis's poll. There are references to instructional videos but can't seem to find a link to those either. Thanks for the help.

On the main Forums page that lists all teh different forums, look for the "Forum Help" forum. There you will see a subform called video tutorials.

Do you want my mental age or the calendar one?

When I attempted to enter my age group, I was informed that I already voted. Guess that says something about which side of the bell curve I'm on.

It would be interesting to poll at which age we bought our first Healey that we still own.

Or just first British car since many of us are into other marques. My First British car was a Jag E-Type when I was 17.

First MGB was as a freshman in college, 1969. Got my first Lotus Elan in '72 while in the Air Force. Still have the Elan and I'm on the fourth MGB.

My first car that I bought was a 1961 Austin Healey 3000 roadster in 1965. I was 19 and in college. Had to go into the military in 1967 and sold it. I now own a 1967 Austin Healey 3000 that I bought in 1969 after a Navy deployment to Viet Nam.

It turned out that among those who voted, I was the only one at the age of 25.I am surrounded only by experienced people

Very experienced! Welcome - it's good to have some younger folks aboard! You're what they call an "outlier"

If it makes you feel any better I was young as well when I joined this forum many moons ago.

I was wondering if this poll (or any poll) was going to transfer over to this new software.

 

[GregW]

It did, and it shows a checkmark for the age bracket I'm in when I voted back in the day.

when I was 35 in '65, I bought a TR3

Looks like the bell curve has gone from left/right to up/down. It makes being on the down slope go faster.

 

[LarryK]

Two yrs, I now move to next slot.

Same here. A slippery slope!

"At 74 I feel 54 but do not have to go to work. 2009 was a good year going from a paycheck to mail box money after 40 years in the building trades ( Elevator Const. ) Madflyer"

I'm with you, Madflyer. I keep hearing that 70 is the new 50. I'm just about your chronological age but don't feel that old. Other than needing to lose some of the weight I picked up from sitting behind a desk for 40 years in my engineering job, I'm in good physical health and my brain seems to be (mostly) there. My wife keeps telling me to act my age but I don't want to. Where is the fun in that???

 

[LarryK]

CrossThread, boring people tell you to act your age, no sense of fun!
