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!
40, Mini Cooper S Coupe, I really need to grow up and get a... actually no... I fancy an F56 JCW next.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!
(I had an old man spec Skoda Superb DSG diesel, lovely car, but boring, and reminded me of my grandad's Rover 2200.)

According to my other half, no man past 30 should drive anything with spoilers, loud exhausts or big stickers.
mine called me an utter child when she saw the aero pack on mine lol My mother had a 1.0 Suzuki SA310 (B reg swift) and it got written off. She only drives Suzuki and wanted another Swift so the local dealer managed to sell her a 1.3 GS which was the luke warm version of the day. My father took a huff that his Fiat Panda wasn't as fast so went out and bought a Swift GTi complete with go faster stripes. he was mid 50's. Must be where I get it from
Ok I’m in a dilemma also I am a young spirited 50s dude that still has all my hair and slim I still get hot young 20 year olds flirting with me I’m thinking of also buying a new hot hatch I currently have a 206 GTI that’s getting oldish and the cops are starting to look at me like some P plate punk lol. Should I buy the new 208 GTI or a VW scirocco R or a boring old man car

On my second Fiesta ST.
Supercharged Mustang GT in the garage
Honda MSX125 in the conservatory.
I was told the Fiesta was a bit "boy-racerish" but it's just a turbo hatch that does everything exceptionally well.
Now 60 and on my 3rd Fiesta ST but now with Mountune, still have the Mustang and the MSX125 went in favour of a Suzuki SV650S.On my second Fiesta ST.

Back in the 90's, my dad used to go see his dad in a care home each sunday afternoon. He would often take my CRX V-Tec without asking me (I didn't mind, I thought it was cool he wanted to use it).
Once, one of my female friends said they saw my dad on one of the sundays, 'He was also wearing your cap', she told me...
