[Healeys] Young Healey owners

[Patton Dickson]

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

It seems to me that the median age of current Healey owners is probably north of 50 years of age (not that theres anything wrong with that), and there doesn't seem to be a crop of younger enthusiasts coming up behind the current generation of owners to carry on the torch.
