I'm 27, bought the Zedster a few days before my 27 B-day as a present to myself. 8-)
It was worth waiting ten long years to bought it, I tell you all... :mrgreen:
Also had a BMW before - E36.

OK I'm 57 soon, and happily retired from a life of flying Jumbos. I can honestly say that I feel young, and it's how you feel that counts.

Er, I think I will be 67 before you, unless I am more senile than I think I am already?

Anyway, as has been said elsewhere, you are as young as (whoever) you feel :P

Now I just made a tactical error… :wink:

Since I was concerned that maybe I was mistaken about out how old I am :shock:, I showed this thread to Mrs Martlet, first one she has read.
Although pretty much uninterested in cars in general, and the Coupé in particular, I was quite surprised when she said, "What's all this stuff you've added, Front Strut and Tyres and Rear Strut" (which she noticed from my sig).
You may have guessed that I had "forgotten" to tell her about the Struts, and how much they cost :oops:
Fortunately, I was able to remind her that her car had recently had new tyres, and the subject was dropped.

This reminds me, I should add to my sig that I have added a TomTom GO (now known as the 'Classic'), with which I am well pleased. She knows about this already, so no potential ear-ache there then :lol:

Used elephant.co.uk

I'm 23 no no claims and got insurance fully comp for £1100. Not bad for an 3.2 ltr M Roadster! I got my insurance from Admiral, which was by far the cheapest. I work offshore and spend most of my time out of the country, hence limiting my millage to 5000 per year - that might have had something to do with my low quote. Oh obviously did the old trick of putting my mum and dad on the insurance which reduced it by £250!

Looking back, I think the best age to be is 30. You are still young, but old enough to be taken seriously.

Im 25 had the Z3 since last summer. Latest insurance renewal qoute is at £390!! pretty cheap for a youngish driver with a 2.0 Roadster.

Unfortunately im paying for the car with finance. Im just wondering what everyone works as to manage to save up to buy a Z3??? must have taken a good few years and some shrewd investments??
