I'm amongst the wrinklies

, I'm 60 this year although when driving it I feel half that age

. This is my second Zed and had it almost 4 years. I had my first for all of 15 days!! Exactly why is another story which involved me spinning 360 degrees

, hitting a telephone pole

and writing it off

I bought my Z3 a month before my 25th birthday on the may bank holiday. Im 29 in June. Best few years of my life.

I have traditionally changed my car every 1-2 years but the Z3 makes me smile due to performance/comments at some point every single day of ownership. I have not found anything that ticks all the boxes as my car does...so much so that I have now decided to keep it and when the time comes for another car...put the z3 into storage and a classic car policy. then it will become my toy and I will have it restored to its best 9subject to funds)

I'm 65 but think I'm 18, and have owned my 2.8 for ten years.

One advantage of being old is that the state gives me £102 a week to spend on my car and other vices . . .

29 and had my Zed just shy of 12 months.

First drove one when my friend let me borrow his for a weekend age 18, fell in love within minutes of that but it was never practical to own one and second car wasn't an option.

Of all the relationships I have had, I see this one going the distance

I'm 35 but easily ten years my junior in tastes and outlook - luckily, look younger than i am (others opinion not a statement of my own

), so i can get away with living in trainers and listening to ''Yoof'' music

- had my Zed 3 weeks

and we're still very much on our Honeymoon

kruisn · Post by **kruisn** » Sun 16 May, 2010 20:14

Am fifty-leven, owned the Z for 6 years. Allways owned softops, no hair - must be a connection there.

Am sure there would be less accidents if averybody drove interesting cars like Zds and not boring cars that they fall asleep in when driving.

donrookie · Post by **donrookie** » Sun 16 May, 2010 21:43

I am 57 nd loving it. Roadster driving is a great alternative to motocycles. The roads are too crowded for two wheel fun these days. Its been a good weekend for us in Aberdeen but I spotted three Zed3's in town with the roof up. COME ON, ITS SUNNY FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

36 - had it for 1½ years now - love it to bits - just don't have the time to use it - have considered to sell it - but mentally not ready - there are still many roads that needs to be punished!

Ferdinand - who would really like to kicks somebody's ass really hard! Some idiot smasked the rear window in my Range Rover this weekend - woke up 7 o'clock saturday morning when a neighbour rang the doorbell.... erhh you better look at your car right now.... it's not looking likes it usually does

.... the rear windows was complete smashed in - glass everywhere.... and do I have to tell you - it had rained all night...

Many thank's to a great neighbour - and God have mercy on someone if I find out who did it! They're toast!

Been around for 58 years now, had the Z for 7 years and my Buell X1 for 10 years. I'm lucky enough to get to play with some very fast racing motorbikes too. Just back from the NW200 in Norn Iron and off for a fortnight at the TT next Thursday. It's a hard life but somebody's gotta do it!

Hi, I´ll be 60 in october. Bought my 2,8 a year ago. As my wife puts it, it´s like riding ourKawa Mean Streak but with the safety of four wheels...

To be honest, the kids have moved out, the house is paid for and it´s time for other priorities.

Have only just this week got the Zed back on the road after being in the forgotten about and left in the garage for 4 years!!! Don't ask. Where does the time go? Had forgotten how much fun she was to drive and am reet chuffed that she's just sailed thru the MOT.
