I got the minor 1st..... (buy about 18 months....)

Post by **Relfy** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 12:39 pm

More results to come in yet, but we can see a trend.

a peak on 25-29 and a peak on 50-59.

The 25-29 are probably internet users that have Morris Minors and the 50-59 are the Morris Minor owners that have internet!

Could be. But I reckon that actually there is a dip because, the 30-49 lot are the bulshy 'I'm not filling in any more forms, I already have too many of the blasted things' group....

They certainly have if they've filled in the other 3 as well! Couldn't one of the grown ups delete them? I don't think they're serving any useful purpose.

PS

Ohhh, I'm the youngest at the moment. Aww, I'm 18 in just over a month then I won't be really young.

Where've you been? Haven't seen from you in ages!

Well, being as I wrote it, it's definately quack philisophy.......

But, perhaps the next thread could be to see who can put the best 'spin' on why they think that their age group should be the only one allowed to drive the cars...

Well...... my age group (30-39) is young enough to have enthusiasm and actually DO things on the cars, but old enough to like them for what they are and not because they are 'alternative' or 'retro'. Two words that I REALLY don't like!!

Nah, Cam or Gareth or (though I don't think he's able to), you know, one of the Magi of the message board!

one of the Magi of the board!

Is that type of a ouija board......................

Ooops, added the word 'message', which makes your comment a bit odd, sorry.

Well, my first answer is obviously

And then we get into the main body of my defence! I do things to my car! And I don't think I've ever described it as retro or 'alternative'.

Although I don't mind it being 'alternative' - since I kind of try not to get too involved in consumer culture, and live something which some would call an alternative lifestyle then alternative is fine by me

I tend to just describe things other people call 'Retro' as "Beautifully Engineered' (I was in raptures about my 1930's desk fan, although I need to strip it down to extract the shattered bearing and replace it) or just "God that's Gorgeous".

*THREE* in the 30-39 group. I dont believe that for a minute! Ray have you filled in the poll?
Who else is nearly 40?

Post by **Cam** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 5:23 pm

Well, basically Kate's ideas are not that far from my own then! As she does not seem to be employing the 'alternative' angle for the sake of it!! (as some do).

See! Relfy you stirrer!!

And then we get into the main body of my defence!

But there was no attack!! We were asked to explain "who can put the best 'spin' on why they think that their age group should be the only one allowed to drive the cars... "

Just as fun! Come on then folks, this could be interesting!

I wasn't stirring! You was stirring! I just left someone else to not be wound up by you......

oh.

grrr.

Post by **Cam** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 6:10 pm

Yeeeeeeeah, whatever!

Post by **custommartin** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 6:41 pm

Ok,

I admit it!

I'm the third person in the 30 -39 group (31)

At least I'm YOUNGER than the Moggies I own!

I know I am dreding up an old post (pg1) but OI!!!! thats cheeky. I was interested as to who the yougest member of the board was - not the entire age spread!!!

Also, the youngest person I know of on any of my forums is 15 and I believe shes about to turn 16. That would be a forum of which I am a moderator. so there!

Well for my self its for the fun and nostalga, having a car thats different, the positive comment from some and the negative points from others but most of all its being a Moggie enthusiast, and because I am not into custom cars and concours (well at the moment anyway) does not mean I dont appreciate the hard work and engineering excellence that goes into these cars.
I dont think that age matters as your needs, tastes and requirements change as you go along in life and we all have different views (thank goodness) so the age groups poll I think is just a bit of fun, because if were all the same it would become terribly boring which is a state I dont wish to be classified as

Well said Kevin! It's all in fun!

I was in the 30-39 age group once. But I've recovered now and am back to normal
