I can certainly relate to that. I'm 19, purchased my car when I was 15.

Well I can relate as well.

I am 69, bought my first A at 13 and finished the frame off at 21. I was always the youngest at the shows, and meetings. Now when I see a young guy involved it does my heart good, and I have to go over and talk to him.

I am still doing Model A's. I really believe it keeps me going and young.

Now 47.

First rode in a Model A in 1998.

Bought my first Model A in 2012. 32000 miles driven on that one, in nine countries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCbkUphkEJw

Second Model A bought in 2013. Only 2000 miles on that, but increasing daily.

Fret not young chaps, there's a quiet body of whipper-snappers interested in this madness, even whose day-jobs are about Machine Learning, VR, self-driving cars, and other techno-gadgetry. I've immodestly said many times, if you want to get noticed, a Model A trumps any dern Lamborghini, wherever you are. And I built mine with my own greasy, scarred hands.

Safe driving, Andrew
