"a bit old for a boy racer"

[littleg]

Picked up a 2007 197 a couple of months ago and found this forum really usefull when choosing alloy wheel colour (anthracite) and exhaust tips. Not sure if I'm maybe a bit old to be playing with Clio's but it was an itch I had to scratch and the 197 is pretty awesome. A traffic officer said I was "a bit old for a boy racer" when he pulled me over in my Mazda 3 MPS about 4 years ago, not sure what he'd make of me now! This is a great forum, thanks for all the advice so far!

You're never too old!!!

Age is a number, I'm 26 legally but I gave up with "growing up" when I got to 20!!!

 

[Giles]

[Waitey]

I see 50 and 60 year olds in corsa VXRs around near where I live, I think you'll be fine :lol:

I've met chaps who are retired with 197s so they do seem to attract a wide audience. Welcome.

Theres a woman in her late 60's whose got a Focus RS and another woman of similar age I think with a Liquid yellow Megane. Bonkers!

Welcome btw

And I bet at 73 she can do a quicker lap than some of us lol

 

[Fernandez]

I like to say you only as old as the woman you feel...

And your never to old for a 200, Roy is suspected to be older than time itself..

There used to be an old couple (easily in their late 60s) driving around here in a 197 a couple years back.

Thanks all for the warm welcome and words of encouragement - looking forward to getting involved and working on the car. It lives in the garage most of the time but will post some pics next time we get a sunny weekend! I guess 34 isn't that old after all
