Am I alone?

[Twerlie]

Hi, was just curious that everyone seems to be much older than me? am i the youngest TVR owner on here?

[jimmy]

How old are you then..?

I am 26 and have been a TVR owner for a year, nothing better.. dont tell the wife though..:-)

[Twerlie]

ooops, Sorry. i forgot to put my age!!! Im 21!

[sixspeed]

Twerlie...

23 here and Tuscan S arrives in 4 weeks and 5 days...

Glad you're here - need some more youngsters on here I reckon.. show these oldies a few new tricks or two..

27

Believe it or not, even grandads enjoy driving TVRs. I was in my fifties when I bought my first, now on my second at 55. No doubt, us very old gits are well outnumbered by you young whippersnappers. Nontheless, driving a TVR brings us just as big a smile ...

Sixspeed,

if you don't mined me asking.
How much is your insurance going to be?
How can you afford a new Tuscan at 23? - what on earth do you do?

[thom]

Hell!!
How can you afford such cars being only in your early twenties? That goes beyond me!
....it seems like I should move up there..

[clarky5150]

You young whippersnappers. The bloody youth of today! I never saw a banana till i was 23. It was powdered egg or nothing m'lad. Tangerine for Christmas and i was happy and you lot with your Tuscans and other foreign sounding muck......(jammy gets) Shaun (a very youthfull 31yrs).

[bjwoods]

getting old now(32). But first TVR when I was 23. (Griff 4.3). My insurance was £740 then. made the quote for £1200 for an astra GTE look a bit silly.

Bosshog,

None of the 'specialist' insurers would quote until I was 25. Privilege have quoted me 1660 though, with NCD protection, legal cover and 400 excess.

Not bad I thought really, considering the MX-5 cost me 1200 this year with the same cover and policy options.

[yum]

so, you lot that can afford TVRs in your early twenties... what is it? Crime? IT consulting? (if there is a worthwhile difference....)

R (35)

[sixspeed]

For all you wrinkleys out there, here's how we afford a TVR:
Wife? no
(inc 2nd car, clothes, shoes, makeup, phone bill...)
Kids? no
(inc... )

Long may it last.
(I fear not...)

[sixspeed]

Also I don't smoke and not much of a drinker... (sorry! - i'll make up for it at Le Mans tho )

That pays for the petrol anyway..


-andy-

[Twerlie]

Well, I dont smoke, i dont really drink much but when i do its free coz its normally pain for with my job as a Kylie Minogue Dancer!
But im gonna miss my TVR when im on tour with her this summer!

P.S. I had the roof off for the FIRST time today....... AND IM STILL SMILING
