It's a private road, Rachel. I don't even get booked for speeding.

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

Many people look daft in sports cars, I'd say if you can get in and out of it with dignity then no problem, but rolling out onto all fours onto the road to get out rather defeats and effect you were hoping to make with the car.

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

I thought that made sense. One of my neighbours big lady has a sports car she loves, but she can't get in and out with any sort of dignity. It's far too low for her and the struggle seems to me to be rather defeating the idea she is promoting, that she is young free and single.

The only problem with Sports cars are the size of the doors

My wife and I have had them all our lives but the doors are a problem you need two parking spaces to get out

We do have a couple in their 80s who live here and you see them nearly every day going for a ride in their Morgan.

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

What a load of twaddle, I bought my sports car as a retirement present to myself at age 55...I turned 70 in May and I certainly don't think, nor does anyone else, I look silly driving it...I always wanted a sports car but when I was younger I could never afford it...I paid cash for this one, $45,000 15 years ago...

"Do You Think Old People Look Ridiculous Driving Sports Cars? "

nothing to do with anyone else,tell them to go away or youll reach over and pop their little dailymail bubbles.

im still building and riding motorcycles,still drive sports cars(mk3 supra tt),still enjoy sailing etc,i always have and always will, and im not being told what to do by some salty self opinionated little human that smells of wee and bitterness.how ever many of them there are.

i may be ooold but im very much still enjoying being free,single and alive.

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

It’s not the salty and wee smellers, I think the ones who make the most comments are the yoof on benefits, and won’t work in order to get what others have earned
