How old are you?

[SpursMadDave]

I will be 39 in about 4 weeks.... Only been driving for just over 2 years, got a Mazda 6 2.3l Sport when I passed my test then got a TDI FR brand new last December...

 

[ckempo]

I'll be 26 in Oct, first baby coming September, the Leon's the sportiest, youngest car I've ever had. Does anyone know if baby sick will come out of the FR cloth easily?

Should have opted for a Stylance with leather seats

It's also why i'm not having kids with the Cupra! Even if they up-chuck, i'd leave it in the hands of a valleter to clean up

Keeping things on track tho, im 23, and a mere baby myself looking at the age of some peeps on here

53 years old and have done the first 300 miles in my Cupra K1, formerly had Cupra R, Rover 220GSI, XR3s , XR2's - I too posed myself the question "shouldn't I be getting something more 'comfortable?' " but I quickly realised I wouldn't have enjoyed it - always have a smile on my face behind the wheel - even more lately !

Guys
Im getting some some stick at work for choosing such a "young looking car"
(Leon FR TDi, Black, 18in alloys, Bluetooth, Armrest)
Comments like "are you having a mid life crisis" are being thrown around.
All very funny for the idiots making them, but its got me thinking -
At 43 am I too old to be driving this car?
I would be interested to here your ages and comments please.

[Sooty torques]

51 and on my third mid-life-crisis-yellow Leon (two Ovni Mk1's came first). Usual jibes about "boy racer" or "nice car, shame about the colour" or :w4nk:
Sod them, I love it

 

[Sooty torques]

isn't it the norm,for gentlemen of a certain age ,to suddenly buy a sports car and start having an affair with a woman half his age?

Oh my god, I'm a stereotype! My missus is 30... Ooops! Not quite half my age, but...

What's age got to do with it

I'm nearly 55 and have just bought a new FR TDI. I keep saying this is the last of the 'hot hatches' but it's a difficult thing to let go of, especially when you've been used to driving performance cars for soooooooooooo long. From the other posts it looks like there are a lot of us old wrinklies that refuse to let go.

im 22, got the mk2 Cupra. Sorted.

So glad i got the Cupra. Stupid FR drivers* lol, one pulled out on me on the m62 yesterday, then proceeded to put his foot down.... i stayed glued to him like ...something gluey... then i proceeded to overtake him...once he got a glance at the good old "Cupra" badge..he backed off lol.

Why oh why doesnt the cupra have something on the front to say its a Cupra! then i wouldnt have to go through wasting all that petrol to to overtake the FR. Grrrrrr.

* not all FR drivers, just that one

lol - I just keep a look out for the extra black around the number plates. Subtle, but if you know what you are looking for.....


As for Age. Just turned 39.... always wanted a hot hatch (just ordered FR TFSI). Haven't experienced mid life crisis (I have 12 months to go for that!) and in any case, when the crisis kicks in, you are supposed to buy beemer Z4's

Currently on Leon FR TDI as of three weeks ago,

Oh why did I wait so long to get a car like this!!!

 

[jay-bob 25]

[FReddytdi]

35, FR Tdi CC Remap, enjoyed sticking with a CUPRA the other day who was getting quite annoyed that a smokey FR could keep up with him.

 

[CV7]

I'm 35. Was feeling very middle aged and sensible driving round in the Golf... Feel young again with the Cupra and its bad-boy tinted windows and sports seats.

 

[smilley792]
