Well ive had my Horlicks time for bed before the hot water bottle gets cold.

 

get a scoob m8 i,m 35 and every time i get behind the wheel i feel as though i,m 18 especialy if you get a performance zorst the only down point is no 3ucker wants to race you.

 

As the song says '18 til I die' well 48 and on my 3rd turbo, there's life in the old dog yet

 

Any more bids on 48.

 

Get back to the top!

 

You only live once so buy what ya want!!
and uck em all

 

bollox you are!!

36 going on 10 me,wife and kids in tow and I hope Im still a t0sser at 43!!

as me mate Doc says,grow old disgracefully,only get one chance.

 

Seeing most people under 40 who own a car they can't handle end up stuffing it into the neerest tree, I think you should be at least 40 to own one!

 

BOB.......Hang your head in shame 2 beautiful motors and you sold em for £175
Cheers
Colin
P.S. anybody up for an old gits meet anytime then.

 

This thread still rolling?

 

Thanks Guys......made me feel a whole lot better now.
Cheers
Colin.

 

Colin (and all the other old b*****ds)
Re- old gits meet. Are you going to TRAX? What a great photo-shoot all the over 40`s in a row!!

Fond memories of the mini (car and skirt ), 3 gallons of 5 star for £1, no speed cameras, front tyres on the mini (car) lasting for only 4000 miles and change from a tenner for new ones. Sigh........Still, being being old enough to go on a Saga holiday has its compensations - my car is in group 19 due to its mods and still costs me only £425/year to insure Stick that in your pipe and smoke it you young whippersnappers!! Up the elderly!

Edited due to speling mistooks caused by failing eyesight...

Only recently found ScoobyNet and registered name as old but gold. From this thread I discover I am not as old as I thought - at 50 I've got years of pleasure left. Reckon the P1 just bought is as much fun as good sex - and since I was obviously around in the good old sixties thar's saying something. Used to drive convertible classics - trouble is no-one makes a really good open car now without it costing an arm & a leg. Really sad that I have started analysing my life as BS and AS eg before Subaru and after Subaru.

 

John,.......when is it m8, I have a feeling i'm in Cyprus when it is on, let me know.
Cheers
Colin.

 

Your as old as you feel mate. Catch up with you v.soon.
Pete.

Colin

We're gonna need a panoramic camera to get us oldies in if we do a line-up,(unless the front row are in their wheelchairs and the back row holding onto their zimmerframes)

Might end up using the Grandstand for this photo shoot!

 

The ultimate sign of age for we older Scooby drivers is when we are accused of being 'boy racers' and take it as a compliment!

I had a customer accompany me into their carpark one day and he was visibly shocked when I climbed into the Scooby, following up with the comment - "I thought you would have had a Jag or Volvo". Needless to say he is at the bottom of my popularity list.

I hate being slotted into any category (apart from rich and good looking of course).

Re - "Boy racers" I agree, however my daughter has rightly diagnosed "Mid-life crisis" - That`ll do for me!

the Paramedics with that lot !!!

 

I am worried that the doddery old g1t driver image may in fact be a disease that we will all succumb to at some point.

I can see it now, once speedy Scooby drivers off to Halfords to buy new string backed gloves to match their flat caps. The longing looks at the new Corrola as you pass the Toyota garage. Going out for Sunday drives in the country at never more tham 40mph, ingoring the queue behind.

Sorry if this may give you nightmares....

The upside of middle age is that insurance is cheaper. And also.... Damn, I can't think of anything else. I'll get my duffle coat, string backed gloves and go home when I've finished my cocoa.

This is a scary thread, all these old people around and to think according to those figures I'm not allowed to my car for another 3 years, does that mean I have been driving someone elses car for the last year odd?

Keep your car and enjoy it however old you are

 

Midlife crisis my ar$e........

And you forgot to mention the beaded seat backrests, disabled badge for free parking, and obligatory fold-up seats to get out at the grottiest layby and have a Thermos at the ready
(and a spare trilby and a box of tissues on the rear ledge!)
