Did you set an age to obtain one by ?
(obviously this isn't about status, just pure love of the said marques)

I've set 30 for my first F car (only finished uni at 26).
4 years to get it together.


Anyone else do the same ?

As I got older I found my perspective changed in life (as probably most would too).

When I passed my test I ended up ragging around a 1980 Toyota Starlet. Very quickly tweaked that car and ended up competing in Scottish Hill Climbs (though short lived as I was skint). I certainly had the speed bug.

Over time and probably as a result of a lot of motorway miles I found I was starting to fall into a comfort zone and I knew there would be a point where I'd start looking at, dare I say it....diesels. weeping

Though I'm very happy to report I managed to get there just in the nick of time to ensure the adrenaline gets going again in the form of a Gallardo nuts. Ripe age of 37.

dreamed of owning a lambo by the time i was 40, actually got a qv when i hit 30, that kept me happy for 8 years, then it was diablo time. murci time hasn't got to me yet. had 3 porsche 911's through my 20's but the lambo experience is a much bigger hit evil
my favourite saying as i was saving was "never say never" hehe

355 at 26, 360 Spider 6 months later.

Then I bought the cherished plate 30 LE for my 27th and promised myself a Lambo by 30... Got it 6 months later.

I have few vices and it was a good couple of years business wise.

Doesn't matter how old/young you are, just as long as you are able to enjoy in good health.

Good luck to you!

Got my first Lamborghini (Espada) when I was 27.
Got my second (Countach) when I was 30.
Then I grew up a bit and went through dozens of boring Jags, BMWs etc.
Oh, to be 27 again.

I promised I'd get a myself a 360 by 25. Unfortunately, that's in 2 weeks and I've just bought a flat so the dream is dead.

Hopefully get one by 26!

You made the right choice (although, it might not feel like it now...)

I'm taking some time out of supercars to renovate my house @ the mo. Then I'll have something to enjoy when it's sunny and somewhere to enjoy when it's not.

It's healthy to have targets IMO, even if they're just "superficial cars" (according to GI Jane!)

Looks like I was behind the marker on this one. Did'nt get my first Lambo till I was 36!!

Still I've made up for it since with two Lambo's at the ripe old age of 38!!
