Tonk both my son and daughter can spot a ute before me and if someone is wearing a hat with tags they will talk to them no problem. Because everyone of my mates and my partners have hats with tags.

Tonk, I'm glad to hear you've come out of the dark side; and it would be homesickness being a part of it. You're never too old for ute shows. The little social ute club; that my husband and I and a few friends started is the Ol' Mates Ute Club. The youngest member is 21 and drives a jumbuck with a 5 poster; the oldest is in his mid 60's and drives a beautifully restored HJ Kingswood; and he gets to nearly as many as the rest of us; which at one stage in June this year; every weekend. The next two in age; in our club whic go frequently are my husband and myself. He's 52 in February next year; and myself who won't back off the ute shows[except when I have to work]; and I'm 43 in 6 months time. Another member who goes to heaps of shows is in his mid 30's. Most of the members are mates; it's just co-incidence that most of us are over 30.

hmmmmmmm, so your saying tonk that once you hit 30 you can't have a ute? no way in the world am I getting rid of mine cause of age. I'm 31 and I will own a ute for as long as I can.. keep it and enjoy it.

I reakon if you're young enough to see over the steering wheel of ya ute and you can still drive without taking arthritis medication beforehand then you're not too old to be in the ute scene!!!

Woooo, rethink that statement...i was on NSAIDS for years just to be able to get out of bed, worse now and it is no bloody reason not to be able to drive a ute at all...car, ute 4wd whats the diff there...my ute is a hell of a lot easier to drive than my last car...and taking anti-inflamatory meds has no bearing what so ever on ones ability to drive a ute...If i wasnt able to drive, then ute or car would be out of the question...
The way you state that, then i shouldnt be driving, cause i will be in a wheel chair and that stops one from driving, sorry but give me a break...

I think that age doesnt really matter in things. If you think you are too old and do not have the heart for it anymore, then maybe you should pack it in. but by the sound of it your heart is still in it, you are just worried about your age. Who cares? My Dad is in his late 40's and still collects matchbox cars. Who says you have to grow up and act your age. half the people i know act way younger then their true age. I personally dont think that it matters really. If you love having the ute, and going to the musters etc, keep with it.

age is just a number.

My mum is 38 and drives a xxxx Ford Falcon ute. she is the 1 asking me when the next ute show is on.
