Hmm, I know I'm beat, but I held the title on this list for a few years.
Seventeen years of age, 4 (or is it 5 yet?) years on the list, MGB owner for
3 years, TR6 owner for 8 months...
As for the age brackets, the largest segment is definitly the middle aged
men. I'll set that from 35-50, it is also the largest segment I see
purchasing parts. However, today a kid and his mother came in and purchased
an MGB steering wheel (apparently for their father) but I saw the kid
wandering around looking at the cars outside our building, he was also in
the later years of his teenage life. When I crashed my TR6 a few weeks ago,
a girl from HS gave me a lift home and her father has a TR250 (at least she
knew what it was!); another kid from HS used his fathers MG all the time,
but at my last meeting with him he bought a Mustang for his own car rather
than an LBC.
Is anyone attending the Heart of Bucks show on Sunday in Doylestown, PA at
CB West High School? Quite a few of the TR guys are going, so there should
be a decent gathering of LBCs. I'll be there...
