OAP/eldely supercar owners?

[tali1]

Reg number P3 is a Porsche 2002 911 turbo owned by a Peter Pratt- given that he is 79 years old - do PHers know of other OAP/eldely supercar owners?

I'm always worried that calling and asking may get the 'wrong' answer... but, LCUK has or had a Member who will have turned 85 in early September of this year.

He is/was the proud owner of a 3 litre Urraco which he would drive as often as possible even though he lives/lived on Guernsey and keeps/kept the car in Hampshire.

We have a number of owners of all kinds of Lamborghini in their 60's and 70's and at the other end of the scale, another Urraco is owned by one of our guys who's not yet 21 (evening Leslie!) and we have a new-ish Member who has a Diablo 6.0 and is very much under 25 and is also one of those lasses from Irelandshire as well (yay Funky!!)

I suppose it would be quite easy to do some LCUK year-end data trawls and see what the average age of our Members is, make an estimate of the average location, deduce the average number of Lamborghinis owned, or find out the average whatever...

Except that there is one thing for certain - there is no such thing as an 'average' Lamborghini person. Really, there just isn't. Ideas like "Ordinary Lamborghini Club Member" or "LCUK Member Standard Class" just don't apply...

It's interesting to hear, and also heart warming to think that not matter how old you get,
once a petrolhead, always a petrolhead.

I know that if i live til my 90's and still have the ability. I would still have a supercar!
i sense a lot of us feel the same way.

A chap near me must be 70 and has a purple Diablo roadster with purple suade interior.

Top guy - hope I'm still into silly cars when I've got my bus pass.

What's this ageist thing - there's a thread on the TVR forum about who's the oldest TVR driver. May I remind one and all that discrimination on the grounds of age is unlawful in this country - so we can all be required to work until we drop!

i'd like to think that however old i get, i will always own a super car.

while saying that though, my choice of 2nd & 3rd cars may become more sedate!
