Hey I'm 75. Is that too old? I drove an XK-120 from age 22 to 32 . Was that too young?

Approaching the threshold of middle age at 70, I have had my '98 Red XKR convertible since Xmas and love it to bits.

The Vincent motorcycles that share the garage get a bit jealous.

I'm 57 today! My first Jag was a '63 MK X Saloon. I bought that beauty in 1978, when I was 23. I have a slobbering love affair going on with my current Jag, a 2000 XKR convertible. Life is good!

Thumbs up Can't help yourself -- turnaround and take another look!

Lots of replies to your question -- your age?

Recently saw a JaguarUSA commercial

When you park your Jag --
You cannot help yourself --
turning around and taking another look!

I agree ......... just looking at your hopper ...
makes your heart skip a beat ....
suspect your blood pressure jumps higher once more

2007 Slate Grey XK Coupe with 32000 miles ......... Jag - love of your life?

Seventy one and three quarters. But sad to say I've just sold the Honda VT500... only did 10 miles on it last year... mileage back from its MOT. However my fourth Jaguar, XK8, is as good as my first (3.8 Mk II) and better than either the second, 3.2 XJ40, and third 2.5 S Type...

Just turned 38, but had my first supercharged Jag in my early 30s.

I think my liver is more like 45.

I'm 21 and bought my jag at age 17. Does that make me the youngest here?

I'm darn jealous with you having Vincent motorcycles in your garage and I don't have one. Last time I rode one, belonged to a friend, was in 1952.

Maybe, but I bet my mental age is close to yours...Its an old crowd here.

Not many guys will meet up, hot rod, track day, etc. judging by the ages posted here, it looks like a 40+ club. Just saying.

These cars are getting inexpensive to buy I hope to see younger people buying these and roasting some tires.

There once was a time when I was the youngest one here (I'm 28 now with the mentality of both a 12 year old and a 70 year old )
