average age of private A8/S8 owner
 
anyone ever tried to estimate this based on the membership here ?
from his comments I know that tc4332 is nearly as old as I am and from mentions of retirement there are a number who must be 60 plus but I suspect that there are not too many youngsters
in case anyone wants to try estimating I can offer 78 !

I'll respond with 55.

I'm 47 and 1/4


I've owned 8s (all 4.2 V8s) for about 15 years now so I started fairly young I guess. I've always preferred larger cars though. I owned 2 XMs before the 8s, the first of which when I was only in my mid-twenties.

Well, I'll admit to 65. So that just bounced the average up to 51.15 so far :ROFL:

Why? Isn't ageism illegal? We get a massive mix at the meets, from maybe late 20s and early thirties to 60 plus (I'm 63 if it really matters). Shall we do do a sex audit, a race audit, an economic audit? We're just '8 enthusiasts who seem to get along pretty well, despite any differences in age or any other criteria.
