Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but I am in the 50's club as well (have been for 2 years actually). The average will shoot up if Titan dares to declare his real age!

Being a woman I don't have to own up but I am nearly the oldest! Had two Zs, first one for 10 years and this one for a year. Love driving topless (as I did along the coast road in Dorset yesterday), that's what it's all about. Have been topless since 1969, always had a soft top...and many boring jobs to pay for 'em.

You're all spring chickens
,all I will admit to is "over 21" or "adult" , but I'm younger than Mr.Silver. Had the Zed 3 very enjoyable years.

What do you mean Roy?
You know I'm as much 42 as
whiteminks is 21
My real age is as old as my tongue, and slightly older than my teeth
In reality I'm between Brently and PhilB after the ageing effect of radial parking at Newby last week

Had the Zed 2 years now.

This question has been posted many times so if you go through the search and add another year to all the answers there etc you have even more ages. You might even go back far enough to add 5 or 6 years to all the replies.
