Born in 1964 and recently picked up a 1964, my first 356!

Imagine a photo of me standing next to a silver 356 right here... Hopefully I can upload from home

I hot wired a 356 coupe in 1964 belonging to a teacher's wife at boarding school , I recall it was a green sunroof coupe probably a C , drove it for an evening and returned it in one piece, unlike some of the other cars I borrowed from staff of school,
I was 12 years old :)

Vic, I think it is the sig from the girl that painted my numbers
Little did I know that the SCCA pecking order necessitated you to alter your F prod number to accommodate A sport.
I think 77 was Jim Hall's number.
Like my WWII flight suit, Casual fifties.

I'm getting old now. Just turned 73. And Your 'only as old as You feel' So that makes me 97 😁. And I could Moan For Europe but try not to, and not here. Finding it more difficult to work on 5 Classics The time is coming where I need to clear stuff out. I hope it is easy to use Our Classifieds and not suffer the problems that Jeff has found. . Hope we aren't all old fossils and there is a lot of new blood joining us. But they won't if Our Registry isn't welcoming.
Just My 2 cents. Hope I add something. It's nice to belong 😊
Kind Regards Jay

Jay,
I check the forum every day and there are about 6 or 8 people that reply to many posts. I wish there were more like you. I appreciate your contributions (as well as others’). I am just getting back to the restoration of my 60 roadster after letting life get in the way! Thanks again for your contributions.
