Re: Do You Think Old People Look Ridiculous Driving Sports Cars?

What about young people?

I pulled up to the traffic lights yesterday and honestly thought there was a child driving the car next to me.
At window height only the top of his head was visible and he could only just see above the dashboard it wasnt a small person it was one of those wannbe gangster types , all mouth and attitude, trousers hanging at half mast, gold tooth , dark glasses even at night etc. He had the chair reclined all the way back and was steering with his fingertips!!

I dont know about ridiculous he was downright dangerous.

I do think, old guys, driving "Girlie" sports cars, looks a bit silly.

Devon? Could have been me. Even though trike riders don't by law require a helmet, I always wear mine as do anyone I carry on the back. Can't call it a pillion, it's more like an armchair.

Ok, lets let the geezer off, if he drives the 3.2 manual SLK, but he must promise, not to wear a Pink Shirt.

I did notice he had a beard & was around 60, but couldn't see his face properly. The bike was amazing, had a good look at that.

When buying a soft top car this is the test the old farts should use when deciding which car is best.

Take a wig wearing friend on all test drives.

See what speeds the wig lifts at.....this will give a good idea of wind noise/intrusion during drives out.

That was me too, when Daughter won her Vauxhall VX220, I had real problems getting out of it, now, 14 years later doubt I'd bother to get in it even.
Daughters VX.



I did love that car though.
