I've never been particularly good at maths but let me see, 1964 take away 1940, carry one, add back the tens, factor in the time zone difference... Nope, still make that 'only' 24. 8)

My current Elan was registered on my 21st birthday; unfortunately not to myself. :evil:

I have a '70 +2 and I was born in '53 - that's me 17 years older.

I've had my car since 2001 and have enjoyed every minute - but then I like solving mechanical puzzles :D

OK, I think I've got half of this one figured out and I didn't use a wrench, hammer, or screwdriver !
Veterans.....alexblack relax, you're not the olderest than your Elan as wylie ebc699 has two years on your difference. And hatman wins the olderest race by three years, so far, but things could change.
Who wins the "Younger Than Your Elan" Competition? That's the other half, and a long long long read will give someone the answer.

Too much free time and an Elan rookie at 14 years older, Eric

Gawd I hate admitting this: 1938 to 1965. Going to have to admit it as some time though, crashed my mountain bike into a pile of rocks on Saturday morning. Now, when I hit the ground, it sounds more like a watermelon hitting the pavement when thrown from the roof of a college dorm. No bounce left in this body.
