68 years old next birthday. Current cars 2016 LZ Focus RS, Mercedes Benz SLK350, Holden Torana XU1 ( Aussie Bathurst Special from 70's) and still in it's race car spec from it's Group C touring car spec with full cage and road registered . Just sold a Caterham Super 7 as wife found it hard to get into these days. I suppose that puts me in the old git category doesn't it? and you know what, the young blokes around here just love the fact that I don't wear a baseball cap on backwards and drive em the way they were meant to be driven

Not exactly a hot hatch but a few years ago I was out in my Clio Trophy and a C63 Estate decided it was going to chase me, the road opened out onto a dual carriageway and it buggered off. Until I caught it at a set of lights, pulled up at the side to see a 70 odd yr old small woman grinning at me, she then duly gave me a little wave, and launched it away from the lights.
