Well.. I suppose it's because of being young... they always stop... stare... ponder and then suddenly become interested in my insurance policy \:s

34, nearly 35...I was accused of a mid life crisis too, albeit by a friend who is a mad environmental, vegetarian, bike riding, anti-car, civil servant sort I think it has more to so with the colour than the car itself \:D

I really became interested in the coupe at the start of this year, and then bought one in may

Bought my first at 29. Bought my second at 30 and I still have it now at 32.

To celebrate I've also just committed to buying an LE, so I'll have two coupes for a bit! \:D

2nd coupe in 6years I think - aged 35 (going on 18 at times in the coupe) \:P

Sometimes feel about 60 due to the paranioa and anguish which seems to accompany my coupe ownership. Why does my car behave differently every bl%%dy day?!

Bought my first brand new coupé when I was 27.

Bought my second one last year just before my 35th Birthday as I had a strange urge to get another after 7-years.

Bought my third (LE)just after my 35th Birthday.

Am now coopless...but for how long?

Bought mine this february a month before my 40th birthday and totally admit it was a midlife crisis. Though I can see a triumph speed triple or kwak Z 1000 for that real kick in the teeth acceleration that you need when turning 41 \:\) must fight the temptaion, must fight the temptation!

Bought my first at 26....returned for my LE at 34...looks like we have a broad range - who holds the record on the forum for owning the most Coupes? Once you own one I reckon you never let go........

I'm guessing you're talking about Ijaz, he seemed to go through a coupe every 2 months?

I'm 37 and have had the coupe for 3 years.

seems quite expensive, im 25 and my insurance is £380 with legal cover and ncd protection


Where have you two got your insurance from and are your cars declared modified, if any mods?

Cheapest I can get is £490.

Back off topic but you can all count yourselves lucky you aint paying Northern Irish car insurance premiums. I suspect some of you younger ones would be laughed out the door if you tried to insure a coupe here.

Well , may I put in a word for the old codgers here?

I am 56, feel 21, and think and act like a six-year old. I know you aren't intending comments about the 'oldies' in an insulting way, not at all, so don't misunderstand.

It is just that actually no-one wants to get older. It is no fun knowing that your time on this planet is steadily ticking away - quite scary actually. So just spare a thought for us, and realise that in a couple of bats of an eye you will be there too.

\:\)

At least I am confident my genes will survive. When my son was born he was already wearing an Enforcer outfit.

DEFINATLY!!!

I intend on buying an E46 M3 as soon as the money becomes available (hard when there are so many coupé goodies around and I've spent nearly £400 on it and I haven't had it for a full week yet) but I don't intend on ever selling the 20vt... Fiat Coupés be it whichever one are a part of automotive history!!!

Anyway, just last week a neighbour told me she assumed I was about 45 - so I gave her my bag of donuts. Well, I gave her one, anyway.

P.S. Notice how affectionate Stan has become since I came out with my gender-identity crisis.

No-one believes that i'll be 25 in a month. I've decided that i'll probably knock back the age on my CV and start telling people that i'm 22 instead.

Would be cool to get 3 years of my life back \:D

My beloved Coupé was purchased just under 4 years ago when I was 38(quick sum...I'm nearly 42).

This was not a mid life crisis just good taste!

I hope to continue my good taste and the legal(well not always) gratuitous pleasure \:# \:P \:# she gives me every day I drive her...especially now we're with leather....mmmmmm!!!

This is cool with me, Chimmers, but:

At 40 you should not have to buy your own birthday presents! Let's talk about where you might be going wrong.

I'm 55 and had my Coupe for 2 1/2 years.

It's great to drive something a bit different, enjoying the pleasure it gives and claim it as a Tax Deduction.

Well enforcer, seems we are the oldest so far with Possum not far behind.

I'm 56, 57 3rd September, you beat that?

On my 3rd coupe - 16vt, 20vt, now 16vt.

There a prize or something at stake?

Me upper years, well 50 years young back in February, so yes I am of the older group but remarkably well preserved dont you know. As long as I am not observed following a late night session.

PS I think DaveG is slightly younger than me.

Well hate to admit it but I turned 59 this month and still drive to fast. People do double take when they see a bald grey haired geezer in a broom yellow zender kitted coupe.

43 - but have aged 10 years since owning the coop °(. In fact bringing up kids is a stroll in the park compared to this enfant terrible

Must be the 'old boy' of the Forum .. 56 ... and just come back from taking the coupe to France on holiday (for the 4th year).

Brilliant! \:D

Well i'm now 45 years young and owned the coupe for 4 years now, but have never seen it as a midlife crisis sort of car, just a practical 4 seater that's stylish and quick \:D

Besides, i've always have and always will have a fast car as long as I have the choice, age has nothing to do with it. \:\/ \:D
