How young is everyone?

AP is probably the most active Australian forum outside of Facebook. I am wondering how young everyone is.

I am a little surprised to be honest - looking at the numbers so far it is looking more like a retirement home than a photography group

I resemble that remark.

As the senior member here, to date, I feel it is my duty to keep you young'uns in check.

Yes Sir

Least when I talk about how starting a car back in the day was an art for every different model - you will get it. pump accelerator twice and hold half open and be carefull not to flood, pull out the choke about 2/3rds out and crank her over till she fires then adjust accordingly. Change a head on my EJ holden in 15 mins on a good day - cant even find the spark plugs now hahahahahaha.

Aha, the good 'ole days.

If you couldn't double-shuffle the FJ back to 1st at 20mph you just weren't with it. And if your car wouldn't start, it took you about 2 minutes flat to find out whether the problem was fuel or spark, without using a computer.

Give it your best shot. This 50 something year old will sit back with a cider and watch you keep em in check

Double shuffle on the column shift - those were the days ;-)

I MUST be young. My wife keeps telling me to grow up.

[Geoff79]

Oh cool, there’s a poll. I’ll access on my pc tonight and contribute. I used to be young a few years ago, but sadly that’s no longer the case.

Hang on! Why all these laments? - If you were young once, and time progresses, then you must be getting young-er!
Be prepared for a surprise tomorrow - of some sort

Dolina does that and at least he took the time to adjust the thread titles for the various places and takes the time to comment in those various places. Why should we worry about anything other than what appears on AP anyway?

I only posted the above because I'm having trouble trying to figure out what Mike and Kev are talking about. The the young upstart Geoff adds to my confusion.

My grandfather who was born just before the turn of the century ( 1900 that is ) used to have an old car with canvas roof and need to set the timing and crank at the front to start it. I can remember as a toddler I couldn't climb up on the side rail steps as they were too far off the ground. He sold it as an vintage vehicle yrs later. When the first sputnik was launched by Russia and the space race began, my grandfather would say "Man will never land on the moon, its poppy cock, how could you possible travel to the moon and back" I can remember my grandfather saying to dad "Youngins have no respect these days" and my father saying to me "Young folk have no respect these days" and me saying to my kids "The youngsters these days have no respect" and my kids saying to the grandkids " There is not respect these days" LOL
Not everything has changed so much :-)
