Bully Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I joined the TSSC back in 1984 at the tender age of 16 when I brought a mk3 spitfire. That was my first car, which I kept until I was 22. I then brought a TR4a in 1991, which I still drive today. Foolishly I changed membership to the TR Register (TSSC didn't cater for TRs back in them days). Well I'm coming back to the TSSC. The average age of the TR Register is about 65 to 70 now, and it's a bit like being part of an old folks home!! Looking forward to a younger crowd that doesn't take life too seriously. Went to the Gloucester meet last night and had a warm welcome. Looking forward to meeting more members and getting out in the car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanT Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Welcome!.. Some of us are still having to work and pay for mortgages so hopefully our average age is at least a little lower than you state above???? ???? Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Welcome back I dont have a mortgage now, occassionally things get serious but I fail the age test there are a few on here that have clocked up some years but have serious difficulty in keeping to the subject expect some drift when getting senior sense becomes a challenge. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Don't want to knock those who have retired, but I've still a long way to go before I reach that point. 20 years to retirement, mortgage, 3 kids at home and 6 cars in the garage, drive and road. The TR Register is just full of retired members, think it was only me that did work, hence the need for a change. One of the deciding factors was there reluctance to use technology. My local group still communicated via a paper newsletter posted to all members. Every year I ask if they wanted to move to perhaps email to save costs, and they always said no. Some didn't have email! They had no idea what FaceBook or websites were. Thank god for the TSSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
