Default Age distribution

Hi,

have a look at the attached distribution.

Peaks at late twenties (care-free spirited youth?) and late forties (mid-life crisis grumpies?). I'm in the latter category.

Presumably periods in one's life when time, cash and opportunity are available.

It climbs from teens upto late 20`s as do most peoples ammount of disposable income

Then drops off in the early 30`s due to people probably having kids and hence no spare money

Then the gradual climb upto late 40`s when the kids are more grown up and people can afford and have time to start a build!

Then the decline in builders as you go further up the age scale towards the grim reaper

Sorry oldies

Im 29 and just had a baby so im on the edge of early 30`s kids and no dosh or time to even scratch me arse! never mind build a car.

Thats why i got mine finished quick sharp when my wife fell pregnant

I'm sure mid life crisis comes into it somewhere to Mark....

Also later on in life you get involved in your kids build just to make sure they turn into real men and not Goks.....
