A question that occurred to me whilst stuck behind a (grey) Rover 75

what age do Scooby drivers retire from fun-driving and take to old man's car?

So,
How old is the oldest Scooby driver - anyone care to own up

And what car would you get when you need to be seen to be sensible and old

Matthew

 

matty
round my way i dont think ive seen a scooby driver UNDER the age of 45!!
i think most of 'em think PPP stands for Prodrive Pipe Pack, which includes a free top up of baccy every 6k miles

 

I'll have to admit to being 43. Half that in mental age though.

Well im 44 & the wife & kids think im a boy racer. BUT I LUV IT & as long as i can drive
ill keep my scoob.

Hi All
Im 92 and loving it my first Scooby 1 month old LOL
opp's sorry i'm 42 with a mental age of a school boy according to my wife (long suffering she would say)
All the best
Pete

 

I'm sure I'm not the oldest but suffice it to say I could have insured my car with Saga for a few years.

Matthew, I think you'll find that its called a hearse

 

55 should win me some championship points at least. MY97 turbo now, tempted to change to an STI before too old to enjoy one, but deterred by potential parts/service problems as imports are not supported by local dealer.

47 and on my second scoob anyone top that!!

 

My dad changed to a more sensible car recently, MY97 impreza turbo to a 22b !!

 

Where's RS when he's needed ??

 

45 on my second scoob feel the need for speed.I still do.

so was that no-one under the age of 40?

least i know i got a few years left till im to old to own one, hopefully before im 40 tho... must admit, me old man still likes his fast cars, cant drive 'em like a youngen tho...

 

The oldest scooby driver i know is Robertio and he acts like he's 60 There used to be a guy near where i stay had a Escort Cossie and he was 85yrs old - cheap insurance

 

We more mature types deserve the good things in life for our twilight years - fast Scoobies, women slow enough so we can still catch them and to still be thought of as boy racers.

One day we may all have to drive the wagon version as it has enough room in the back to accomodate a zimmer frame. In the meantime I'll spend the next six months waiting for my next Scoobie (STI) to appear.

27 AND THE WIFE 24 ANYONE YOUNGER???

 

Matty,
We sort of had this type of qeustion a few months back when I asked if I was too old for my Scoob, and I beleive that their is a guy and a lady in the 60's and 70's driving one somewhere, I'm only 43 but everytime I drive mine I feel like half that age cos I love it.
Cheers
Colin

Used to have a MY98 Turbo but it had to go when I passed 50

Martin (52 1/4) STi v5

 

There's a woman called June who drives a P1. She's a regular radio operator on stage rallies in South of England so does a few miles, inc some forestry stages (Prodrive sump guard fitted), driving into her allocated junction. This is her third scooby and has just turned 80 so the rest of you have a way to go yet.

 

I'm 25 and drive a Forester S-Turbo, and there's a guy at my work who's 24 and has an STi V4or 5.

 

Other than hearsay, i.e. not first hand claims, I believe I am sitting at pole position at the moment.

With all respect to the elderly like RS do we have a winner here with lokokkee ?

Any chance of BillBill buying such a beast ?



Theo

 

My old man is 56!!Ive left my MY95 scooby with him whilst im away!!He has been racing M3's on backroads the last i heard from him!!!!Then he jumps back in his Discovery!!!Trying to re-live his youth i think!!!!

I bet I'm the youngest on here - by a long way. Infact I'm not strictly old enough to drive at all! That's because I'm only 8 (born on 29th February 1968.)
