I drive a Saab 9-3 and a yellow diesel Corsa, what does that say about me?

You'll soon learn not to ask those sort of questions here!

What age group buys a V8?
In my case early 20s to late 60s.
60s in my case.

It costs me a month's pension a year to tax, insure and MOT my cars but hey-ho, you only live once. driving

I bought my 1 and only V8 when I was 20 - maybe I'm regressing! laugh

Most 2 seater cars don't seem to fit any age group - they are just as likely to appeal to someone in their 20s as to someone in their 70s (and any age in between)!
I bought my first V8 at 41 (Lexus LS400) and my second LS400 when the first one hit 183,000 miles.
I bought my third V8 at 58, a TVR Chimaera, and I still have it, though it has been a 4 litre, 5 litre and is now a 4.6 litre with a turbo.

I bought some TVR parts a couple of years ago off an ex-owner who was about 25....he had sold his V8 Chimaera to buy a V12 E Type (and some shares in Shell, presumably).
