40? Too old? Are you having a laugh?
would you say that if you were driving ,say for example an Audi r8 Spyder!
What's happened to make you feel too old at 40 to have a roadster? :?
I'm 55 and have the top down everytime I take the roadster out - unless it's pouring - was freezing this morning but the top was down - can't beat the sensation - would ride in a Model T just the same.
Probably how old you feel in the head is more important - i feel about 28 most the time - until I look in the mirror and wonder who it is looking back!
Coupes are for the people who would use dark visors when on their motorbikes - I call them ugly visors - for obvious reasons - must be something to hide?

Never too old ldman:
I'm 47 going on 20, the only time to move on is when your back goes out more than you do!

Good on ya!!!
Too old? Never. Though I'm not yet to 40, many guys I see driving convertibles of any make here in the US are well over 50 and balding with grey surrounds (not that it matters). That's why I tell people I bought my Z4r now, "while I still have hair to blow in the wind."
The jealous will tell you that you only bought it as some kind of midlife crisis response. Let them continue to enjoy their 4 door, nondescript, can-top 4 bangers. There is a lot more to an enjoyable drive than simply getting from point A to point B in any old jalopy.
I will say, it does my heart good to see people (men and women) old enough to be my grandparents who still know how to "put the hammer down" when driving their sports cars, and do so. Stay thirsty my friend!

Taz needs to re-enter the fray on this thread...!! Hehe
The range of ages on the meet on Sunday was wide. All enthusiastic and all friendly. I very much enjoyed meeting everyone and at the time, people's ages didn't really occur to me other than young Tom, who I admired for saving up and buying his M at his young age and not being a complete knob in it
To old to have a roadster! How do people get such daft ideas.
Of course there may be a few rules that make sense. Like, no mini skirts after 35-40 unless one is in pristine shape. Same for the fellas in regards to a speedo swim suit. If you look down and can't see your junk. Then it's time to toss the speedo in the dust bin. Or. If you are going bald. Then just accept it. You are fooling no one but yourself with that comb over.
