History "Mature" H.A.M.B. Folks

Back in the day the oldest dude on the Jalopy Journal was DrJ or on of those other cool old dudes like Bruce Lancaster, now everyone is old , lol

 

I resemble that statement! That picture is from 1975. The hair is gone.

 

78-

 

I think I counted seven members that we know of who have since passed and now have the member emeritus status under their name, miss a lot of them

 

76 in a couple of weeks.

I keep waiting for that "Old enough to know better" thing to kick in!

 

64 next month....

 

66

 

62 here. I find myself starting tasks like sweeping the floor and putting away tools only to get distracted doing something else only to get distracted by still another item and start doing something else altogether.
I guess I could go back to my old standard of just cleaning up the shop when the project is finished.

 

Born in 52 same year as my truck.

 

79 this month, as the song says…”better to burn out than to rust.”

 

75...
Don't look a day over 84, don't act a day over 12.

 

72 and still truckin

 

Turned 89 last January

 

That’awesome poco, keep going! My Dad is going on 85 and still works on lawnmowers and tractors, I think he’s mentally sharper than I am.

 

I’ve got at least four years to my first social security check, but I get up each day, thank God for His mercy, and fight old age and death with every bone in my body. I know my end of time on this earth is inevitable, but I want to make it last a long time and be as enjoyable as possible.

 

Born in 1953, I will be 71 on March 28th!
WOW, what a long strange trip it's been!
BTW, Happy Saint Patrick's day to all of the fellow HAMBER'S in the HAMB Universe.
Thanks from Dennis.

Wow, good to see this is back up. I posted on it in Oct. 2016. Now I am 7 years older. Still playing with the old rides. But at 77 the work gets done a bit slower.

 

On Medicare now, no need to say more.

 

83 and still working on my dirt modified .

 

When I was a kid all the young guys had the cool cars and now that I’m retired it’s all us old farts that have the cool cars!
My cars are loud or so I’m told, but I like rolling up to the lead at a stop light with two or three cars in the other lane and watch the kids lose their shit, sometimes parents too, because of the old man and his car.

 

LOL. Been there for 22 years!! Looking for another 10?

75

 

Just celebrated my 18th birthday 2 & 1/2 weeks ago. I'm now 72 years old.

 

74 at least my 32 Ford coupe I am building is older than me!

 

Leap Year baby?

 

Let's see here. I was 62 when this thread started 8 years ago. Now I'm old!!

 

Yup. My granddaughter and I both had our 18th B-day this year.

 

Turned 78 a couple of days ago and still spend most days in my shop. Don't let the old man in !

 

Good on ya Hank !

 

I will be 76 this year, finally getting around to building my dream Dragster, hope I can pull it off.
