I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but when driving around and seeing other FL2's (certainly in Aberdeen) I notice that 99% of the drivers are old farts...........I thought that this car was more of a "young persons" motor

i noticed theres a fair few old timers in them

one of them looking at me in shock horror when the car was muddy from Tong  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Nick – I don’t thing CG meant Avtur – but best ignore his comment this time .

As for Dave’s comment about Old Farts owning FL2’s I don’t really see the reason for his apparent annoyance here. Certainly his comment about the FL2 being a “young person’s” moter way of course and for many young person’s to afford such an expensive motor would be surprising. Either these young person’s cannot afford the motor they purchase but must have to impress, or they do really have the cash for it and at the same time all the other luxury’s in life that go with it (don’t get that impression of most forum members ). For a member of the latter group, there are many other motor alternatives to choose from as well. For “Older Established Person’s” (old farts as Dave describes them), purchasing a top model FL2 with all extras is well within the economy of this privileged group of persons whom also have plenty of time on their hands to really enjoy the thrill of owning and driving such a fine motor .

Do a Poll to see how old people are.
Eg. 18-20, 21-25, etc

Me, an old fart, yep I can deal with that ....

I sometimes think I should be on that series Grumpy Old Men ....

As for other drivers, then I've noticed a spread of ages. Probably the most notable features of drivers in my home area is the percentage of female drivers, certainly a Mum's taxi around these parts ... Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

I still think of myself as an angry young man, but at 60 I suppose I'm an old fart.
