41, VF Clubsport R8

Before that, Megane RS250, before that, MkV Golf GTI, before that BA XR6

Each year I get older I think this will be my last sporty car, time to get something more sedate and spend my money on other toys, but each year something new comes out that keeps me on the hook (currently lusting after Focus RS).

Its done 384,344ks and never uses oil, still goes well and i just got the rego done for another year.

The car is still original and the motor also except for a few pulleys, Power steering pump, and water pump.

I couldn't figure out why 22-25 was highlighted. Then I worked out how old the thread is, and now I DO feel old.

Hah!, mine has the 18-21 option highlighted! Not only am I a few categories older now (just turned 37), but scary that I've been on FFAU for so long (and before that, FF).

Driving a Giulia QV after owning 4 Falcons, wife cruises a WRX STi, at one stage recently uhmming and aaahing about going for a Mustang.

Driving the Alfa today, I still love the thing 2.5 years later and definitely a long term keeper, I have no idea what I'd replace it with! (even if you paid me I wouldn't drive the new M3, and AMG going all pansy and dropping the highlight of their C63, the engine). Would consider an E63, but feel like it'd lose some of the fun factor and just be too typically German and ho-hum!

Volvo 940 Turbo estate.
Bought it new 30 years ago..no Holden or Ford had an airbag then...this car did, was voted safest under $60k
Saw it , the same VIN number on facebook last month!
bought it back just for sheets and giggles..$1200 (was 55k new in 1992)
My kids are in hysterics remebering the child seat in the back center.
Surprisingly with 320,000 k's it still drives well.
