Oldest SSR forum member

Musicman · 09-17-2011, 11:13 AM

Just curious. Who is the oldest fanatic, if you care to say? I'll start...72 years young in Oct. 2011. Feels like 21 when cruisin' in my SSR!

TrikeRider · 09-17-2011, 01:23 PM

Sold the

because of health reasons.

But I'm still a fanatic.

Will be
73 in October 2011

WAYNESWORLD · 09-17-2011, 01:36 PM

We met Ken and Shirley at the Route 66 Rally last week. They MAY be in the early 80's, yet they participated like the rest of us young folks. Their yellow R is called Plainjane. Nice couple. GMpartsguy in Houston is about your age also. Wayne

I think Dicktator, Dick Bellville of Florida told us in Flagstaff that he will turn 76 soon.

B C · 09-17-2011, 02:38 PM

Dicktator · 09-17-2011, 08:02 PM

I will be, I hope, 76 on Oct 3rd, 2011.

Yes, 1935, year of the start of Social Security. I have card 001, only kidding.

Just remember, it isn't the age, it's the mileage!!

Quest · 09-18-2011, 12:42 PM

I will be 76 on September 28th. It's been a great life, just keeps getting better! It's kind of bittersweet like this quote:

“Sometimes I am so happy that it frightens me. So much happiness cannot go on forever.”
Wilbur Smith in “Men of Men”

Just keep driving Ralph. They will never get the permagrin off your face.

Flassh · 09-18-2011, 04:58 PM

So far, Quest turning 76 on Sept 28th is the oldest by 5 days.

Musicman asked the question - maybe he'll track the aging amongst us

in his first post.

Doug Allen · 09-18-2011, 05:48 PM

Quest is not the oldest member in the Forum, I know of several members that are older.

That said, those members may find it a "dubious honor", and not wish to post their age. All members are young at heart, if they weren't, they wouldn't show up for rallies and meets, drive and love their SSR's.

All SSR owners, young and old are what makes this Forum great!

A better question would be, who is the youngest SSR owner, and what prompted you to buy one?

jackatg450 · 09-18-2011, 06:27 PM

Doug, Just like Hellvis, there is 24 year old in this 75 year old body screaming to get out. And trying to figure out how in the hell this happened so fast!

Jack

Jack

And at 11:30 PM last Thursday, long after most members were in bed at the Flagstaff Rally, you showed me your very cool, and very original mods you've done to your truck, in the parking lot at Little America.

I'll say again what I told you that night, no other members around, you have made great mods to your truck Jack, like none I've ever seen !

Well done.

STYLES SPORT ROADSTER · 09-18-2011, 06:45 PM

oct 22 2011 is a good day ill be 73 going on 16 . when i want to feel young i get in and drive my 53 Victoria just as I did drive in the fiftys .

nulogic1 · 09-18-2011, 07:16 PM

My dad pass at 93 yrs! God bless him! I think He would still be pumping blood if he had an SSR!
When I start feeling my age. I go to the garage and give my
R a great big hug.
