What age are you?
TGR-ECOSSE - 17/5/07 at 11:29 AM

While bored at work last night i was looking at peoples profiles to see what age people were that are daft enough to be building or playing with 7 type cars but not a lot of people had filled in there date of birth. So what age are you?

My date of birth is 22 February 1967 making me 40!!!!

RazMan if you are reading this i did notice 22 February as well.

I will try and post the statistics of the answers.

pewe - 17/5/07 at 03:38 PM

Well guys I stopped counting some years ago!

It's significant though that I'm currently trying to rally some old school mates to go to the 60th Anniversary of the Brit. Hillclimb Championship at Shelsley in August by way of a re-union.

Also I suspect there are a lot of our viewers who aint prepared to divulge their age???

Cheers, Pewe

PMSL, there were a bunch of guys getting them fitted when I was in a couple of years back. They were all very happy about their new flow rates
Like a subaru pub meet discussing turbo boost levels.

flak monkey - 17/5/07 at 04:14 PM

Seems to have been a growth in the number of 20somethings on the site. Seems a lot of newer members are younger. No idea why.

My gf is 23 in a couple of weeks, so for a few months i get to wind her up for being old.

I will post the results after it has dropped off the bottomof the page. So far it has been viewed 2198 times and has 107 replies so might take me a while to go through it. Very interesting so far.


lotustwincam - 17/5/07 at 06:46 PM

42+Vat

My son says that I turn into a hooligan when driving the Locost.

The ole fella deserves most of the credit for the work over the last 8 years (4 years building - and modifying ever since), and even now that he's an octogenarian, he still amazes me with what he can do with a piece of metal.

Soooo - any advance on an 80 year old Locost Builder???????


Wadders - 17/5/07 at 06:53 PM

20/04/65 so 42, Sh#t its gone quick

kipper - 17/5/07 at 07:07 PM

Well Here is another 60 year old who behaves like a kid again. (My dad was some soldiers in the war) No wife to nag me , no mortgage,motor bike , two Seven type cars, mountain bikes, just built big new workshop, int life great.
Trouble is when I go to the supermarket I always bump into some old school pal who tells me about some-one who has past away.
( still always look on the bright side of life as someone said.
Regards Kipper.
