Bought the first one at 62 now heading rapidly towards 68 - I think the White hair and walking stick confuses a few folk!

Does it bother me - of course not!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

I'm 57 BTW

The time to worry is when you realise you're too old!

I'm 33 and definitely in the phase where my mates and I are buying "silly" cars. Seems to be driven by either pre-baby panic or post-baby freedom.

What do we think the 37 - 41 dip is? Late baby makers?
