From a Mito to a DS3

[Mr-T]

Before kids and mortgage and all that stuff...

Now, 25 years later, kids have all left home and the mortgage is paid off, so ... party on!!

If I were in your position a 1971 Spider would be on my shopping list.

But I've already got a lovely Barchetta LE tucked away in the garage - and I can't justify another convertible .... can I ... can I ... ???

Am reminded of my dear departed father-in-law, who bought a delicious Lancia Fulvia on a whim and, afraid of confessing said purchase to SWMBO, kept it in a barn down the road, so she wouldn't catch on.

The fact that he was my father-in-law tells you that I'd never get that trick past my missus!

Hi all, my DS3 White is what my wife calls my "late" mid-life crisis....have to admit to being 62 at the end of Sept and the DS3 is my idea of a great birthday pressy (even if I had to buy it myself). Even my mum @ 85 thinks its a nice car and sounds very sporty and she even likes the sports seats

Good on you, John! My Barchetta was a 50th birthday present to myself - I wanted to feel the wind in my hair while I still had some hair to feel the wind through. Best purchasing decision I've ever made (although I must confess that the B has spent most of this summer tucked away in the garage while I've been playing the ageing hooligan in my DSport!)

Remember - you're as young as the car that you drive!
