Old people and hot hatches
Discussion
Im just over 60,My daily is a lowered e46 coupe on 19s.My other cars are partly modified.996 turbo on 997gt3 alloys and 600bhp,noble m12 in cobalt kandy blue with 3 piece splits and custom interior,ford racing puma on coilovers with comps and a mk1 golf gti in cobalt kandy blue with a g60 supercharged engine ,interior in biscuit leather and a mk4 dash,on coilovers etc.Sod the age thing!!!
44 years old and if I didn't have a need for 4 doors I'd happily own (and modify) an ep3 type r.
As it is I'm in a leon cupra r like the red one above (mines black) and modded. My attitude to this is that i love cars, always have done and it's my money. I'll drive whatever I think I'll enjoy.

Haha, just seen this thread...I'm 47 and have a Merc A45 AMG, with the aero kit and big calipers.
I like to use the launch control at the lights when a Chav mobile sits next to me wanting a race...as they speed off, all valve bounce and comedy exhaust, I just pootle away. Makes me howl every time
My younger, miserable (i.e. Dutch) neighbour told me I was way too old for it when it arrived on my drive...I've never passed comment on his semi derelict Disco and caravan....

I had a hot hatch when I was a teenager. I had a coupe for a while but then a succession of "boring saloons". A bloke who works for me is mid 50's and his car history since I've known him is CTR, Clio Sport, Corsa VXR and now a Fiesta ST. He gets some ribbing at work for being too old for that sort of thing.
I'm now 42 and going through that mid life crisis stage and want to regain my youth so I went out and bought an M135i. Now he ribs me but I just claim it's more of a mini GT than an hot hatch. According to my other half, no man past 30 should drive anything with spoilers, loud exhausts or big stickers.

34 yrs old, Mini JCW GP, no regrets. I've gone the opposite direction with things, last car was a mini coupe SD ( brilliant little car) , before that I had a e92 3 series, 2000 CLK (just bad), 98 XJ sport v8 (sheds tear) then a polo!
As much as I enjoyed rear wheel drive ( and I really did) there's something a bit more challenging/rewarding with a fwd pocket rocket that I've come to love. I wonder if I'll still have it at 40!
