I was 38 when I got my first MX-5, and now I'm 54.

My brain still thinks I'm 18, but my body doesn't want to believe it!

Sounds familiar - I'm 37 and now have my first MX5, and my brain also thinks I'm 18, but some days I have the maturity of a 9 year old.

"Growing old is mandatory - Growing up is optional"

I've decided not to take the growing up option. :mrgreen:

29, just. 30 is knocking at the door. I got my 5 in February, and it's the 2nd best car I've had. The old 240Z takes 1st. It was the first car I bought and was my daily driver for 8 years. I still miss it.

42 in August.
I think it helps never having kids, or intending to have them.
So many people my age 'look' old. Then i see the kids and the sad sad life :lol:
the 5 was my 40th Bday gift to myself.

Wow so far almost 40% of the enthusiasts here at aged 20-30, lets hope the state clubs help accommodate this group of enthusiasts and cater events like Natmeet to suit.

The older I get the more I make a conscious decision to make sure the younger members of our club are made to feel an essential part of our club and are encouraged to get involved.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Another vote for the 50 to 60

52 in a few months with the maturity of a 25 year old.

What's the saying "little boys never grow up their toys just get more expensive"

Hence the MX5 :mrgreen:

With one possible exception :lol:

I'm 34 and some days I wonder who the old lady in my mirror is. I am way to young to be this old.
