I'm 39 and their are a few other thirtysomthings around here. The
question is how to attract our age. I don't have a single friend from
outside this world that is into old cars at all.
I know the "Future 50" is working to get teens and young adults into
Healeys, but I think the opportunity is our age because we have the
money to actually own a car!
If someone comes up with ideas, I would happily help with the effort,
Patton
