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 :D |

@ BBB3 and Paben - What do you both do regarding insurance for so many cars? Can you only use your no claims bonus against one car, and then have to pay full whack on the others?
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! |
Never too old, who gives a **** what other people think!

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'm 53 below is what lives in my garage. 03 Sti and a 944. Not shown is the quad and B Class Merc.
Age is not an issue. Attachment 45012 |
Going by the demographic of this place, the more pertinent might be 'am i too young to own a scooby'?

Talking with my Subaru dealer this week was told that they have a guy in his 80's who has a Classic turbo saloon and still drives like he's stolen it

:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello: good lad :D just how it should be |
I am 51. As part of my 50th we drive to Monaco via the Ring,Stelvio, Como, back through France to Reims then home in my then Claasic MY97 RA. Age is no object, just a number.
|
I was 40 last week
Running a full Bliz Nur Spec R......Causing plenty of pops & bangs.....and flames :) Ask me if i give a F**K :) |
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?!

I could take the record here at 71! Blob STi with 430/390 Come on, is there anyone out there as ancient as me?
My son's 40 and currently runs a concours EVO IX, Fiesta ST for track days and a Nice but boring Focus for work The wife is 66 and drives a Mazda 3 MPS Got a feeling it's in the blood? JohnD |
Suprised at the mature ages posted here! Just goes to show the myth of the young chav/drug dealer impreza turbo image is just that
|
I'm 37 and sold my mk2 mexico and bought a 2003 spec c :thumb:
|
62 in October, still enjoy track days in my much modified bugeye
|
I'm 62 and by reading each post i'm in joint first place :)
I have a forged V4 sit running 450/450 and a forged blob for those senior days when you need to slow down and drive in comfort :) Never too old!!!! |
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.
|
I'd like to think I'll still be driving mine when I'm retired :notworthy
|
Just to add to the "it doesn't matter" theme, I bought my first Scoob in 1999 when I was 45. Still have my T25 :) Even drive it occasionally ;)
|
Im 57 and of the same mindset. Besides, whats the alternative ? I suppose a Zafira or similar ? Not for me thanks

The drug dealer connection was mentioned in an earlier post - it's more like drug takers - I bet blood pressure and cholesterol drugs rank pretty high in posters on this thread?;) |
