Average Age?

OK, here's my story: At 10 years old, I was summering in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and while hanging out on the boardwalk, a British Racing Green Cobra, with sidepipes rumbling the earth I was standing on, pulled into the parking lot. Having been raised around cars all my life (my Dad owned a junkyard - I still say it's the world's greatest playground for a kid!) I was very excited and fascinated to see this little car that made so much noise! I was just starting to realize what the word "bikini" meant at that age, and my God, the bikinis that surrounded that little Cobra fascinated me as well! Other than a couple of other chance encounters, I never saw the beast again, and the years passed.

I've had sports cars and motorcycles all my life, basically had put together my own cars from the junkyard, then went on to college and got serious with life. I had toyed with the idea of building a kit car back in the late 80's (my junkyard genes were acting up), but the bride got prego and I stopped thinking about it. 3 kids & a vascectomy later, I'm still driving motorcycles and starting to think that I should try a hobby a little less dangerous, the kit car idea started again. My natural (bikini)selection was the Cobra.

I sold the Harley 2 weeks ago, and I've been tearing down a Mustang 5.0 (junkyard genes again) after work. Yesterday I put a deposit down on a Burtis F8. Now, the fun begins.
