Quite fancy the white MC on Autotrader. Just don't want to find myself buying another car and leaving it sitting in the garage 99.9% of the time .... .... .....

Bought the first one at 62 now heading rapidly towards 68 - I think the White hair and walking stick confuses a few folk!Adamski wrote:I won't vote, but bought my first zed at 26, then bought my second at 29. Contemplating buying another when I eventually move out of City Centre Edinburgh
Does it bother me - of course not!

Re: Zed owners - how old are you?
I'm 15 years into my mid life crisis, and enjoying every minute of it.
(Think I might have put that in a previous thread somewhere, but can't quite remember. Ooops..)
I'm 57 BTW

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

Re: Zed owners - how old are you?
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?
