Question I'm old but trying to learn!

As you can see from my previous threads and attachments, I'm not a young 18 year old 'into' there new car, however I find this forum a great source of knowledge for my EA. It's done 154,000ks in 14 yrs and I treasure it. If I am too old for this forum and laughed at behind my back, thats OK. I will leave quietly and let you young people get on with it. Some feedback will either keep me posting and learning from you guys and girls, or I will disappear. No feedback will be an answer. Thanks in advance for your great and informative, (and ammusing) help!

How old is too old? Hell I'm no spring chicken, ask my granddaughter but I find this forum a wealth of information. So many knowledgeable young blokes and not so young the blokes on here. I have learnt heaps just letting my fingers do the walking. Where better to get information and advice but from people who have actually tried and done it.

As I have said before, great forum.

I'm guessing you're in adelaide, couldn't get away with your avatar in any other state.
Couple of cruises coming up in the SA cruises/events if you're interested, I always love giving raafies a bit of grief, and would be good to see another real driver out there.

I had the same fear that I wouldn't fit in when I first joined the "old" forums.
Girls doing up cars aren't all that common, so I was worried I'd be shot down in flames if I asked a question.
As it happened I asked the question, and no one replied, so it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought!! :

The more the merrier I say, and if we only wanted young people on here all talking shyte, well I'd join Fordmods. :
