speedball Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Picking mine up tomorrow and I'm lucky enough to have one at 22 - just wondered if it was a car for balding old men looking to re-capture their youth or for young stallions??? Quote
Revsport Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Got mine 1 year ago when i was 20. Love it still. Quote
Kai Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 After years of having to drive the 'family car' because my wife doesn't like driving big cars (she has a Mini Cooper instead) and the kids have left home or are just about to, I thought that it was time that I made up for all those lost driving years. So yes, I am a proud 45 year old Zed owner but get me behind that wheel and I definately feel 20 years younger I have even lost 2 stone in weight since I bought it in February. I know, I know, it is called a mid life crisis but I don't care. Kai Quote

AndyC Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 30 according to my driving licence, 3 in mental age Quote
M13KYF Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 If it was mental age I shouldn't have a license. A young 37 for me. Quote
Traktion Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 27 here... I couldn't afford to drive while at university, so waited until after and then had to build up some no claims before getting a "proper" car Quote
lomoto Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I,m not saying But I bought a brand new 260Z in 1979, which ended up on its roof in 1980 Quote
sidekickdmr Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 well im 19 and there is also an 18 year old on here! so you should have a 'young' poll too Quote
lomoto Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 well im 19 and there is also an 18 year old on here! so you should have a 'young' poll too what the F**K are you paying for insurance Quote
sidekickdmr Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 well im paying about £4,000 worth every penny Quote
Traktion Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 well im paying about £4,000 worth every penny That's why I waited a few years (and cos I didn't want my inexperience to crash it!), but if you have the cash to splash, why not I suppose! Quote

Should also have confessed, my drivers license will tell you I'm 61, BUT ..... ... this car has taken me back to my Twenties when RWD ruled! JohnK p.s. What do you mean "Balding"? Been there, Done that! Quote
mid_gen Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 27 here... I couldn't afford to drive while at university, so waited until after and then had to build up some no claims before getting a "proper" car Same here, (well I've not bought one yet, but very soon ) 25. Insurance before a few years NCB and <25 was ludicrous Saw two on the way round the '25 this morning, hope they aren't becoming common Quote
lomoto Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Just found an old pic of my 260Z before it got rolled, I was 19 then.... it took years before I could get reasonable insurance again Quote
Traktion Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 That was the year I was born! Nice to see some zed heritage! Quote
Nick_MSM Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 24 in June, did have a 360bhp Evo VI Makinen at 21 though if we're showing off Quote

WoREoD Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Just found an old pic of my 260Z before it got rolled, I was 19 then.... it took years before I could get reasonable insurance again In my Rallying days a couple of friends of mine used to rally a 240Z (always referred to as their 24oz - think pre-metric). Both their surnames began with V, so they were always the "Vs in a Z". Was very quick in a straight line, but not so good through the bends. Driving technique was "point and squirt"!! Good times! This was the heyday of Rallying on public roads... Quote
