Age is merely a mental concept.
My pet hate, and I detest this so much, is people who say your metabolism slows down after 30...people just say this to justify their weight increase and beer belly!!! Utter bull poo! It's just at 30 you stopped playing 5-aside, had a kid, started watching more TV...nowt to do with metabolic rate...everything to do with a lazier/slower lifestyle.
People will say stupid things to make themselves feel better inside and to justify their own lifestyle.
Sod 'em
...In saying that...I am 36 and do need a double hip replacement

Despite the attractions of a single policy (although no one will include a much modified Impreza as far as I can see) each car is individually insured, a bit of an admin nightmare but nowhere near as bad as staying on top of the MOT's!

I have just read your post and immediately had to join as a new member.
I am 41 and have a 2006 Hawkeye Wide Track completely original. It comes out on dry days every couple of weeks for a fun drive to work. I am lucky enough to drive a new E63 and Golf R but the Scooby is the car I really love and can't sell.
I don't give two hoots what people think about the huge spoiler, rally mud flaps and gold wheels. I've even just ordered some carbon fibre wing mirrors. I don't want to grow up and drive a Volvo!

The older I get the more likely I'll be buying cars that "I'm too old" for.
Couldn't give a donkeys if people think I'm too old for a car, in fact I'd be more likely to purchase it even more.

I disagree with the 30 comment. Know plenty of people who have hit 30, still as active but had to fight to keep weight off. I can't eat as much rubbish as i did in my teens, without affecting my weight.
But agree with people being more lazy. And loads of mates have bought boring cars just because they have a child on the way?!

It's why I have a Legacy B4. A proper car for grown ups.
Also a 1968 GMC Camper van for those of us who havn't grown up yet.

I,m 60 in 4 months time and I,m on my 5th Scooby, current one a 05 JDM widetrack with 375+bhp . I nearly swapped it for a C55 AMG last week . I,m looking for a bit more comfort these days so I must be getting old. I still think I,m 25 till I look in the mirror. Steve.
