These youngsters are bringing the average down a bit - now 50.111 (including Dezzy for honorary reasons but ignoring Conan's mental age )

44. Got my first D2 at 28 and was smitten. Had the current one for 2 years now, got the FE 1 year ago, and they appear to have made a couple of 2.8s between them...

Scraping in at just 49, although the 'big' birthday is only in a week or so. I've had an A8 for the last 11 years.

Big fifty.
The one I dreaded as it loomed was my thirtieth. Never did find out why!!! Remember thinking that if I made 2000 I'd be an old man, so I guess I am now an Old Man Plus Seventeen. Hmmm! Seventeen sounds pretty good like that.

At 32, you've been 16 twice. At 48, you've been 16 three times. At 64, you've been 16 four times. At 80, you've been 16 five times. And, if you're lucky enough to make it past 96, you'll have been 16 just six times.

41 but had my first A8 at 34.
I always considered them to be an old mans car but 7 years on, there is no better way to munch the miles. |

63. My 'crotchety old git' symptoms multiply like rings on a tree, but Jim wins with the best manifestation of this
We should get together and put the world to rights

Well, the average is now 48.78 so, as 45 is the new 35, then it ain't an old mans car. Just one for the discerning driver
