Question So, who's the oldest member here?
The "50 years ago" Thread got me to thinking-who's the oldest member?



I'm 77.

I'm with you Bob 'til Sept. I think there are several a lot older that think we're kids. I didn't answer the 50 years ago thread because who cares?

I am like the lady on the TV commercial (don't remember what she is advertising) "age is a number, and mine is unlisted!".

But I rebuilt my first Holley carb 65 years ago.

Not me, getting ready to start my 8th decade in August. I can't tell you the inspiration I get when I read the accomplishments of those my senior on this forum!

Seventy three this fall, God willing that I should get there. But I don't feel a day over 83, lol. JK. I'm blessed so far with good health, no prescription meds. As Dave Ramsey often says, "better than I deserve". Only problem I have is that I can't afford my Pontiac hobby, along with all the other interests I have.

Well, if you were 3 you'd be my age, or you could have been 30... I like to say I'm 17, but with over 50 years of experience.

Not nearly, but at times I'm feeling like I should be. Too many times I ask the old guy in the mirror 'Who the heck are you?'

I see that Arnie Beswick is a member, although he apparently has never posted. I would assume he's the most elderly of us.

No where near the oldest, but I can say I survived the 60s twice!
