Folks Of Interest old farts over 70

I think that we need a group of us over 70 to have our own site , need tri folcals hearing aids messing up the posting of threads, ( I am the worst ) and not remembering why we are doing this. Just to ramble on like we knew what we are doing. John

 

Hang on.
I'll be there in three more years.
I HOPE!!

 

What you say?. Speak up, I can't see or hear you. Next tue is "D" day for me.Driving my dry lakes modified gets harder on my back every year.

 

I was going to post but I have forgot what I was going to say.

 

Hey that's funny stuff but remember, you guys are the reason I'm here on this site.
Keep the info and the stories comin' and I hope I'll be sittin' around doing the same thing
someday...if there's anything left to sit on.

 

Awwww...I gotta wait two more years to join this enerjettic group. Don't have trifocals but I have had the hearin' aids for fifty years (you heard me). Huh? Whadjoo say?
Fearless

 

My engines never have preignition or lifter rattles -- I can't hear 'em!
Fearless

 

I hang out with guys half my age.
They keep me feeling young.

 

AT 77, can't wait to get into the 80 group!!!----HA!

Pix is from first car club in 1955!!---------------Don

 

I am 2 yrs shy..................

 

Be with you in may. Lets see, that will put me 52 years past my mothers life expectancy for me . She said many times [if you dont slow down in that old ford you wont make 18].

 

there is an OLD FARTS group already...come and take a look.

I'm just happy that old farts are now considered over 70, I still have 10 more years before I'm one.

 

Wow! This is great! Next time my wife calls me an old fart--and it'll be sometime today, I guarantee you--I can tell her authoritatively that I am not. Still got YEARS to go. Thanks, H.A.M.B.ers!

BS

 

Whew, finally something we are "too young" for Bruce. 7 more years for me before I click that milestone off.

At least so far I still have all my original parts with no major overhauls.

 

Hey, its great that people in their 70s use computers.I can remember when being in your 70s was considered too old to do anything but sit and whittle on a park bench.Maybe technology is keeping us all young..

 

Crap! When I was 15 I wanted to be 16 so that I could get my license to drive! When I was 16, I wanted to be 18 so that I could go into the bars in NY legally, although I didn't drink. When I was 18 I wanted to be 21, although I can't remember why!

Now that I'm 66 I want to be 70 so that I can join all you old farts. But, I don't know why as memory is the first thing to go - or so I'm told...

 

I'm sharp as a tack, now what is it that you need before I forget to ask.

 

Hey, are you guys sure that you're OLD ENOUGH to post here on the HAMB?

Seriously though, we need to hear from those of all experience levels, it helps us to not get too narrow a view of the subject. If you gents start a senior edition of the HAMB I wonder where the young guns will find the answers to their questions?

 

I'm 72, and a proud member of the Old Farts Social Group here on H.A.M.B. and also a member of Friends of the Sock Fuckers Car Club, a closely knit group that limits their membership, hence the "Friends" group. They are about the wildest, most irreverent and rowdy bunch of guys and gals, about half my age for most of them, and I often join them for HAMB and GRITS and ocassional road trips. Hanging out with them and trying to keep up with them helps keep me young at heart, IMO.
So far I've only met one of the Old Farts group personally, but I visit the site at least twice a day, as I also do the F of SFCC.
Old Farts has a manifesto written on their social group site here on HAMB that outlines their creed and culture. Agreement is all that's needed to join up, not any specific age.
So you guys still under the 70 mark can't get out of being called an old fart merely by being less than 70!
Dave

 

Don't forget 70 is just a number think young I am 74 and in to all kinds of cars still like to spin the tires on my 49 Merc. Huff

 

And you guys keep offering your old hot rod knowledge! I'm only 27 so I have tons to learn form you guys!

 

Same here, they do keep you going.

 

I'm a little beyond the qualifying age. Hope to last a little longer.

 

YEA FOGuys RULE!!!!
72 YEARS YOUNG & STILL PLAYING WITH KOOOOL KARS !!!!!!

Best part of the HAMB is all the posts from the twenty something year old guys telling us "how it really was back in the day"

 

I don't use the computer for anything but HAMBing and email.
I write letters by hand with a quill pen, I do my books with a 50's adding machine and I make my own beer.
What is wrong with whittling?
Last week I saw Junior Samples on Hee Haw whittle a pile of shavings as high as him in less than 10 minutes.

 

i sure hope i get to be in this club in 50 years.
