so did any of your cars have the 'Carmen fangango race kit' lol. Wot a great line up of cars though. My list is......
Rover metro Turbo, Renault 5 GT Turbo, golf gti mk1, vectra 2.5 v6, Saab 2.0 Turbo se, but when I drive my DS I'm like a kid I love it don't care that I'm nearly 41

.Will be 49 in July, nice to see a broad spectrum of ages. After all age is just a number

[Albion]

I can get discounts on vauxhall cars if you want built in rattles and squeeks then a vauxhall is for you.

[Arlow]

I am a vauxhall employee and ever since I have had my DS3 I have been the victim of ridicule apparently I am a gay hair dresser and have made a big mistake,

I thought the Mazda MX5 was the gay hairdressers car


Oh and there is a good thread here for listing your motoring history

no but some came with brown y fronts because handling and brakes werent as good on most of my old cars compared to my ds3. i drive mine with the speed limiter set now due to getting caught with it off

My first car was a HB Vauxhall Viva in burgandy, I loved it I used to pop in my CB radio a york JCB 861 (still got it) and away I went...............Ahhhhhhhhhh those were the days I am a radio ham now but most modern cars just dont have the spare room on the dash for a tranciever.

Age 17-21 Daddy bought it for you or you gave up drink/sex to get it.
Age 21-27 Life is passing me by, need something to impress the ladies/gentlemen.
Age 28-35 How the f**k do you think we're going to get the kids and the shopping in that!
Age 36-43 I suppose you're thinking you can impress your teenage daughter's/son's friends in that!
Age 44-50 You sad bastard, grow up.
Age 51+ Why would you want leather at your age?
Age 64+ Missed out in my youth, need to catch up (me).

I bought the car at 17 without my dad/mums help thanks! :- )

[Stonesy]

So you managed to get 16 grands worth of finance at 17?

Cool story bro, Tell me more!

Glad to see a sudden influx of 36 - 43 year olds, although I'll be in the next group in 2 Months time. I think the sad bastard, grow up, fits me better anyway. But I have no intention of growing up, tried a Mondeo Estate for 4 Months, never ever going to buy a sensible car again.

I'm in the sad bastard category and I don't care! A large lure of the DS3 was it's yellowness, reminds me of the Avengers and Dolomites I used to own. I dont think anyone should grow up and don't believe there's an age limit on running modified or cool cars.

Did I see you on the M6 the other week with a mag mount aerial on. I would have been in my yellow one at the time

Mine matches my old Dolly Sprint in white with a black roof and black and silver wheels

not mine, but the same colour and year as my old one.

I had an 1850 HL in blue used to love the sound of the twin carbs. had a 1500 later on that was really really shite and blew up amongst other things
