How olds too old for a LCR/FR?

[wibbly]

Following a comment elsewhere I'm wondering what the perception is of how old too old is to be driving a LCR/FR.....

I'm not about to divulge my age of being an old git but wondered what the perception is of what the kind of age is of an LCR/FR driver is, and what is too old to be one

If you enjoy it then bollocks to everyone else. Its not their business.

Dont think it makes much difference to be honest. I thinka s long as you get enjoyment out of it.

Like ill be 17 when i get mine.. will i be too young? And my old man drives a 700bhp Supra.. and hes hardy a spring chicken..

As Reg says..does it matter.. if you still enjoy it go for it

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Remember this is a 5 door hatch, not a 2-seater convertible. It's not a mid-life-crisis car if that's what you're getting at?

I got passed on the M25 a while back by a guy who looked into his 70's doing 95 in the out side lane!

Your never too old!

Once youre a danger to yourself and everone else then maybe your too old for an LCR. If you can see, you have a pulse, and enough strength in your arms to turn the wheel then you're never too old.

basically who cares what other people think they are only jealous of you

... and providing your zimmer frame will fit in the boot.

The good thing about the LCR / FR is it has a mature image. This is where CTR's and Clio's lose it as they have a baseball cap spotty youth image.

Never really thought there was an age issue with the leon?

I think you get admiring looks from boyracers and mature drivers in the Cupra / FR. But yeah, who cares. Lifes too short to care what other people think.

Rokerlad your avatar unsettles me.

You never heard of Frank Sidebottom then ... the bard of Timperly?

 

[Brummy]

JAYSUS!! your worrying about being too old for a Leon!?!?!?!

Or should I 'not go there' ??

Quick google later and no definately not heard of him although being 8/9 years of age in 1985. Its the face .....it scares the sh t out of me. Am I on my own here!

 

[gazjones]

never to old! seen more older drivers of lcr's than young ones i would say,

 

[ajoellew]

Yeah, you're never too old. I'd much rather see a gentleman in the prime of his life (ahem) driving an LCR/FR than some chavvy teenager. The fact that they're not a common choice with the boy racer brigade only enhances their classic status in my view.

probably insurance costs are a factor there!!!

interestingly I bought my LC when it was a year old off my old man who is now 63...(but it was me that told him to buy it in the first place so that doesn't really count does it!!!)

definitely nicer that they're not seen as chavy halfords boy racer brigade cars!!

How old is too old for a car like mine?

(3 is not a good answer BTW )

 

[Pineglade]

If you got to ask then you're too old already.....I'm 42 yrs young and proud to be driving an LCR - albeit with tints.....
