youngest builder on here
just having a boring saturday morning laid up with a bad back when i should be out getting a engine to fit!
wondering what the average age is for builders on here? i get a load of stick from lads at work as i'm only 22 and they have the opinion i
should be out spending money on drink and drugs rather than building a car!

Wojjer mean?
I'm only 52, there must be older than that. What's he doing with a bad back a young lad like that? He wants a pair of boxing gloves for
bedtime by the sound of it. .

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'm 24 and vegan (I don't eat meat, eggs, dairy, wear leather, wool or silk), I also don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, and
don't go out to bars or fast food restaurants.
I'd LIKE to build a locost, but I've got no money to buy bits yet.
My locost won't have leather seats or steering wheel either. There's something disgusting to me about draping your vehicle in another
creature's flesh.

Another dinosaur here (52 in December).
Phelpsa is only 13, and he's a sharp little so-and-so

Back to the original post Young Kris is 18 and has been building with me for a number of years. Quad bike overhaul ,a lawnmower powered kett car that
did sixty kmph, his fiesta sorted and mot.
It helped him get a job at the local garage as an apprentice.
So Kris is 18 and starting to build as soon as we get this one outa the way.

Yeah i find dairys are hard to digest too, especially the medium to large ones that, perhaps, employ 300+ workers.
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

One of the judges that came with us for the kickboxing competition was a raw food only Vegan....
...you can imagine how well that worked out in Bulgaria!
On the other hand... he was a lot slimmer after no food for 7 days!
Thing is, he told us he wasn't that extreme... knew someone who only ate peanuts!

I'm 20 years old, just starting the build. That doesn't make me the youngest, but it does make me pretty dang young.
