Although....you can read it as what age were you when you got your Chimaera too.

Badly worded OP biggrin

Well my daughter driven Mine / Her's at the age of 14, for the first time and has done a number of laps on track in here.

She is looking forward to passing her test in the next 8 months or so. Once she turns 17 in October.

Can't wait to inform the insurance company in November, learner driver in Chimaera price !!!!!!!!!!!!

Still will enjoy watching her take the Beastie to school next year, that will keep the teachers in line LOL

I don't know how it was driving but I remember seeing a pair of headlights in the rear view mirror approaching rapidly. I was on the M11 and not hanging around, the lights got closer and closer, this guy was really shifting, it was a red 450SE well over 120 I would say roof down so I got a good if brief view of the driver. 80 if a day, Zimmer frame hooked under the rear wing and strapped down on the boot lid, it made me laugh out loud, I still want to be like that chap in my old age, clearly his body was showing his age but he sure seemed to know how to enjoy himself.

A couple of years later at the age of 33 I got my 400SE.
