(Off Topic)How old are you?

[Simon Reed]

I was born 3 months after the official end of steam in the UK.

But when I got to 25 I liked it so much I stayed there.

Does it matter? It's only a number, after all. Think as old as you feel, act as old as you feel you can get away with.

Well, I am not allowed to drive until I am 18, which may be good, and bad. It will be good because all of the HKS, American Racing and other performance parts companies will have a lot more of a selection of tuner parts. Also Recaro seats will have a wider selection, as well as the companies such as Euro will have many more bumpers, grilles, and side skirts to make the exterior look even better. How much will all this cost? HKS turbo x 2, Euro taillights, Euro bumpers, NOS system.............................

always loved it when i had my z28 racing those kids in their fart can pipe cars. they thought their*** didn't stink, but after the dust settled they knew where their place was. lol waayyy behind me.

I prefer a PSD to prove my point in a cloud of diesel smoke, but a z28 is good.

Actually, I hope that by saying that, I can encourage some of the older people to join it. There is a lot of wisdom out there! (Now I wish I had a thumbnail of his talent!)

Gee, am I the oldest one here, Believe there's qite a few
of you out there that don't want to admit your age.
I'm 72, happily married 50 years.
One sad thing about being this age is recalling watching
CN steam locomootives in Saint Laurent (suburb of
Montreal) pulling strings of 20 or so locos, with their driving
rods in their tenders heading to the graveyards somewhere.

Increadble. Very interesting to say the least.

just thought i might chime in, dont mean whore up your question to him. embarssing a middle aged guy and him wife in a C5 vette, and making him shut down early(me driving) in a 6700# 4wd Dmax was a blast!!

my buddy had a 03 LB7 Dmax, standard cab, we got her down to 6300# race weight, with some spray, ran a best of 11.75 this was at Gateway in St. Louis


ohh, btw, ill be 26 in a week, might as well stay on topic alittle bit [;)]

that's ok cause i'm going to whore it up even more. i didn't realize they were runnin THAT quick. impressive indeed.

the weekend after new years there's an indoor truck/tractor pull a few miles east of rantoul, IL and they had a limited super-stock diesel pick up truck class. all dodges with the come-apart turning, a very conservative guess, 6500+ rpm, twin turbos and all the goodies. the only downside to that particular set up is from what i've gathered they have to use a mainly stock drive train. gives me a chub just watchin it though. could only imagine driving... lol

Well about all that my parents will let me say is that I am still in high school.

On the question of driving I think my first time was 8 years old, so forget Canada all you have to do to be able to drive is get out of the city. If you are on a farm you can drive at any age you want.

However after you get past the age when you are just driving on the farm, you get tired of driving. It is not fun, so those of you who can't drive yet don't be in any hurry. Just enjoy taking the bus or getting driven everywhere by your parents.

I saw one 72, I think it was, and a lot of those who said they were old enough to know better, but just didn't give their age. Maybe, just maybe I'm the oldest at 78 - and married to the same woman for 51 years. Anyone out there want to top that?
