    Me too, however if its 1986 that makes it 23 years old dont it?

    An "antique" in this country is defined as anything over 50 years old So "vintage" could be 25ish

    Blimey it I'm married to an antique
    Heck, I'll be one soon

    I could say that was a typo! Or simply that I've not yet recognized any date post-90's as being real: or that I became a genuine "antique" nearly a decade ago...

    If 50 years old is an antique, and we're speculating that 25ish is "vintage"...oh, hell, I'm going to look up the antique collector's def of vintage!
