I have to agree with Jack. Although I am a young whipper snapper at 43, and my
Triumph is ony 34 years old, it is the young ones that take note of the car
more than anyone else. Literally every time I drive around the neighbourhood, I
get comments from the teens and pre-teens on what a 'cool' car I drive. The
only teenager I've met that doesn't like the car is my own daugther. My 7 year
old son however has asked if he can have it when I'm done.

I make sure that get to sit behind the "big steering" wheel and I let them get
in and out without opening the door (something I can no longer do, because I'm
so damn old). It's the pre-teens and teens that seem to get the biggest kick
out of my car. If we all try to reach out to younger people with our cars
anytime we can, there will be a growing market somewhere down the road. Most
important, there will be another generation ready, able and eager to preserve
these fantastic cars and enjoy them.
