Too old for the MK5 ??
- Thread starter Ex-Racer
- Start date
I'm 62 and I am too old for a Mk5. There is no way I can afford one. My next move will be a bus pass in 3 years time.
You can get a bus pass at 60. Very handy here in Leeds as parking is so expensive. Hardly ever take the car into the city.
!= is an operator for is not equal to
drive is not equal to own =p
I'm 23, feel more grown up in the Ibiza than the Leon somehow, maybe it's because it's newer haha.
Well us oldies seem to be more common on here than what I first thought! I'm gonna be 49 this year, but as I’ve always said - if I ever start acting my age I want someone to shoot me!
Have had a patchy car history tbh, but highlights were a fantastic Triumph 2500 PI (I was 19 at the time) which I managed to take out an entire fence with and it only put a minor ding in the bumper and burst a front tyre! Didn't half plough a major furrow in the farmer's field mind you! Luckily the farmer saw the funny side and I and a friend spent the next week rebuilding the fence at our own expense (got off lightly if you ask me!). Apart from that I've had (amongst others) a MK1 Golf GTi, a MK4 Ibiza FR TDi and Golf GT Sport 2.0TDi. My current machine is a MK5 Ibiza FR TDi 3 door. Also have gone through a good few motorbikes, including big jap sports bikes. Still have a motorbike in the garage today!
My outlook has always been to do what I wanted to do (as long as it was fairly legal!) and not to worry that much about what others thought. Too many people get old before their time, if you ask me...
Guess there's a bit more life in me yet before I need to apply for a bus pass!
