"Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional"
Going by the comments/replies I often feel that I am an old man on here, I suppose I am at 63, but still active with the car doing track days etc. Therefore, I thought it may be interesting to see what the average age of a Locost member is.
64 and a big bit, now where did that time go ?
63 and a bit - I'm a firm believer in growing old disgracefully.

So far, only 2 in my age group (66 - 75). Keep chasing the dream, Buddy!!

I'm actually quite surprised to see as many as there are in the 26 - 35 bracket, the vast majority of my customers for cars have been 40 plus
& looking around at the members of our club (Essex Kitcar Club) most are 50+
Me? I'm heading for the big 60 next year, no idea where the time went, but still act much like a 15 year old! 
Who the hell wants to grow up???
21 and been here since I was about 16
Drifting further and further into building bikes and away from cars now though.

) 67 and counting
Physically 35, mentally somewhere around the 7 to 12 age depending on the gravity of the subject...
im 28, had a Robin Hood 2b Pinto at the age of 24 but only got the current car due to house.
i have only done the ring a few times and one track day in a mates car. I want to increase this alot.
Coming up on 54 in a couple of months... and trying not to act like it, though I do keep saying things that sound like my Dad.
Am I the only one who thinks the %'s in the survey don't make sence?
68 which does seem like a very big number.
The %ages are silly, they don't add up to anything like 100!
I've voted today as tomorrow I will move up a group

Snap! nearly free bus pass time I believe..
Work out the date when a woman born on the same day would get her pension - that's the age at which a man can apply for a bus pass.
(got mine too...)

33 here. Wanted a kit ever since I went in my uncles Xflow Westy when I was about 12. Only now am I in the financial position to do so. Well I say
that, I'm skint but at least I have a quick rack, quick release wheel boss and some other goodies to fit over the weekend!
Found my love of cars and bikes in general from working with my dad(mechanic) since I was about 6 years old after school and at weekends. I'm
never happier than when I have spanners all over floor, can't find that 10mm I had 5 mins ago and swearing at those s***ty rivnuts!
I'm 32, but it's my second lap
Been on here years now and feel like an old man. But am only just 34! At some point,when I give up competing.ill be getting a other road legal Bec.
Well I will be 13 on Monday
32 here, Still feel about 15 though.
She says I act like a kid which is why she loves me.
I wonder if she's ever worked for the BBC!
You can't stay 32 forever gaz! Like all the page 3 girls who've been 21 and from Essex for the last 8 years
64 and got a bus pass! But I've never used it yet ;-)
67 and still modifying engines I guess some men never grow up.
And happily the girl on the bonnet of my Escort is still with me - just wish my Escort was as well.

Made it into the 56 - 65 bracket a couple of weeks ago.
Treated myself to another 4 wheel toy too.
62 now, still 17 up top. Fortunately, I've been the inheritor of some excellent genes which didn't make themselves known until just last
week, when I realised I was fitter and more handsome than ever.
Then I woke up.
