Another year notched up today but I'm still in the same 67/71 group!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

hmmm, i'm in the most 'popular' 42-46 group. only just though.
I reckon u could narrow the grouping down to 3 simple categories tho marlon:
1. Young enough to still be able to pull on a Friday night but with the caveat that most of my salary goes into paying insurance for the zed. It's my pride and joy and if that hot bird down the 'dog and duck' let's me take her out after months of pestering her for a date then when she sees the zed it wil seal the deal!
2. Still young enough to pull off driving a zed around although I know other road users, my neighbours and non-zed owners perceive me as a bit of a poser. However, I'm going to eek it out for at least another year because I love the sensation of topdown driving and secretly I know I'm a poser. The money I sink into the zed in upgrades, maintenance, repairs is still do-able for the time being.
3. Old enough to know better and I really should stop driving the zed now that I'm a grandparent and I've developed an unhealthy affinity to watching 'cash in the attic'. 'bargain hunt', 'homes under the hammer' while sucking on a werthers original and wondering if my pension payment went into the bank ok this month but I'm not quite yet ready to give up the zed because it makes me feel young.

Z4 COUPSTER started an 'age poll' but finding mine he has requested his to be deleted and this one to be 'bumped'
Marlon: Here's an 'age poll' thats been running for a while
Its dynamic, meaning that as you age you can re-vote into the next age bracket
Z4 COUPSTER: Sorry Marlon never saw it. Close this down if you want and bring other to the top. I just voted btw.
