Old people driving exotic cars.
Discussion
Hi Guys.
Just drove past a red NSX in the village where I live with an elderly woman at the wheel, she must have been late 70's at least, made me smile! Dont get me wrong I've got nothing against it, I think it's great, but does anybody else think it just looks wrong/funny? There's also a bright green gallardo regularly driven through my village driven by an elderly guy who closely resembles Einstein, and I also often see a Renaultsport Clio 197 with an elderly couple at the help. Good on them for having some nice wheels really. I often wonder though if some people just go into a Renault, Honda etc. garage and just ask for the best thing they have!

Haha, I often think that. Especially women in CTRs with their noses 3" from the windscreen and breaking heavily for every corner. I can just imagine them asking the salesman, 'what's the top model?'. As for old people in supercars, the oldest I've ever seen is maybe early 50s.

There's a old chap up here (who looks like the brother of Captain Birdseye) who just bought himself a post-box red R8 V10 convertible; seen it quite a few times in Aberdeen, including last Friday night at 11pm with the roof down giving it some beans with his good lady next to him 
That's quite cool. I hope I have a supercar when I'm old!
Not with our pensions lol Devil's advocate said:
Hi Guys.
Just drove past a red NSX in the village where I live with a young girl at the wheel, she must have been late 17's at most, made me smile! Dont get me wrong I've got nothing against it, I think it's great, but does anybody else think it just looks wrong/funny? There's also a bright green gallardo regularly driven through my village driven by a young kid who closely resembles Bart Simpson, and I also often see a Renaultsport Clio 197 with a young couple at the helm. Good on them for having some nice wheels really. I often wonder though if some parents just go into a Renault, Honda etc. garage and just ask for the best thing they have!

Saw a triplet of lod biddies getting out of an old W124 AMG E36 coupe the other day. Very tidy. Had to comment to her that it was a lovely looking motor. Her resposne...
"She's great isn't she. Goes like s
t off a shovel"
Liking that!"She's great isn't she. Goes like s
t off a shovel"Not an exotic, but I saw a couple in their 60s at a Goodwood track day last year, in a breadvan Civic Type R on sticky tyres.
