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

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!

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

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.

not planning to live a long an prosperous life then LuisFilipe No, why do you say that Vas? In almost 3 years of coupe no major problems at all, but with my first car Punto GT it was hell, so many problems that i almost die. I will buy others car´s but i will not sell the coupe, it will be my future classic 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!!!

You don't look a day over 73 to me! You can tell it's love, can't you 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

I'm 29 but don't look a day over 21. I'm on my 1st Coupe and had her since last October. My brother saw me driving the other day and said that i looked just like a young lad who was taking his dads cherished car for a joy ride.

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 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.

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! (apart from the food poisoning that laid me out for the week, but we won't talk about that )

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 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. Gary

44 Bought it at 43 coz of this Forum - was torn between a coop and a Celica. Massive thanks to everyone who advised getting a coop - would've been kicking myself within a month of buying a Celica.
