Age of 75 drivers in general?

barney bear · 13th September 2014, 04:29

I was wondering about the average age of R75 drivers, i know we get a bad rep as the pipe and slippers gang and all MG drivers are supposed to be teenagers in there own minds

. I'm asking as my wife who is the main driver of rosey (kids named her) is only 23 so clearly no pipe and slippers for her, just thought i'd see if she was the youngest regular driver.

I'm 45 Wednesday and I've ad Connie six yrs so I was 39 wen I bought her
I'm hoping to keep her till she drops apart then I'll probily buy anotherer one
So I think these cars suit all ages

I'm 42 - theres a ZT sitting on the drive till it's sold, I've just upgraded to a 75 tourer for the comfort and practicality ( me and 2 young bairns ) I'll keep it until it can't be fixed then quickly buy another, really love this car.

I am 58 in a few weeks, shaved head and shades when driving my ZT (well, shaved head all the time) , not the easiest to get in and out of as I have bad hips and keep kicking off the sill trims.
I'm not a teenager in my head I am 22.......

I am 54 going on 55 next week but still feel I am 17. I have been driving a silver MG ZT 180SE in silver for the last two years and a similar colour Rover Vitesse Fastback for twrlve years before that. No pipe and slippers yet! In fact, I am sitting by a pool in Lanzarote having just removed an EAT, SLEEP, MG tee shirt.
