Hi guys
Ive only just found this forum in the last day or two. Ive been reading through some of the older posts and also recognize some names on here as well. When I was reading through this topic that Im replying to I noticed a comparison to the mustang forum and also something about demographics. I think that the reason there is so much more response on the mustang forum is because for the dollar and there availablity the mustang is a great car for people to own at an affordable price. I know that here in Australia you can go for an hour drive in your car and see 3 or 4 mustangs but you might go a year or two before you see a Thunderbird cruising the streets, unless your going to a show or concourse in which case you might see two. Another factor is that alot of Thunderbird owners are alot older like I seen posted earlier 60+ and I hope nobody gets insulted by my questioning but some of these guys probably dont have the internet or aren't interested because they just enjoy there ride for themselves and couldn't be bothered posting, which is a shame because some of these guys are a wealth of information and tips that they could pass on to us young guys that are trying to keep the dream alive.
Im 30 and have just purchased my first 55T-bird and I think that it is great that a few younger guys are getting involved with such an awsome car like the Thunderbird because it will be upto the younger guys to keep this dream alive and pass on all this information to the next generation of Tbird owners. Our cars are a rare bread and so I wouldnt compare the amount of posts on this board to the Mustang board, there is no comparison. Less cars, less owners, more unique. My dad has owned his 55Tbird for 36 years and he used to drive me around as a kid so it has always been in my blood to own one of these cars, Ive grown up with it and the information I get from him is priceless.
Anyway enjoy your cars, we are not here for a long time, just a good time.....
Scott..... :)
