Element Selection![Friday lady_t_ford-470]()
Last Sunday's article about the Beforty rally produced a lot of response. Also messages from people who's (grand-) children actually get the chance to drive in old cars. A thing we want to encourage.
John Memmelaar from Oakland, US sent us a very proud email showing his 13 year daughter who restored a Model T and learnt to drive it properly. Don't worry too much for an encounter with this junior speeder on the road, so far she's only practising in her father's backyard. (editor: for once and with great hesitation we add the old American saying "Don't try this at home")

Another girl (&boy) Friday picture comes from Australia, sent by Min Innes-Irons.
"We recently had a 4-day rally and had 3 to 5 young adults attend - with two that did a lot of driving in various cars - and they really enjoyed themselves and want to return to future events. The "common thread" is the wonderfull cars that are being driven. The big question is how to include the younger generations to have fun within the xcar clubs and their events. We have discussed concessionary memberships to make the next generation's annual memebership more affordable while studying. " Editor: thanks a lot John, thanks a lot Min for sending in your photos and ideas. If there's more, just let us know.
