Mid Life Crisis in full effect....

[Alex1975]

So I shall be 40 later in the year and I seem to be showing some quite clear signs of a mid life crisis. My shiny shiny Mizuno MP clubs finally arrived this morning and I placed an order for a new car.

As a 39 going on 40 year old I should have gone for the Mondeo Titanium X or the BMW 320... but no... I went for:



2015 Ford Focus ST-3

Im telling myself at least I went for the deep impact blue and not the tangerine.

Will look out for you next time I am near Aylesbury McDonald's at 11pm!

Forget the 40yrs behind you you`re still young.
Think about the 40yrs ahead of you.
I`d have gone for the tangerine,
and I`m over 70 seventy.

Any hope of a sensible conversation on this one or just more of the same? hehehe

I LIVE IN HERTS!!


Teetime... Looking forward to the next 40!

and I`m over 70 seventy.

And at your age you start repeating things all the time.

 

[teetime75]

Not all the time.

Not much chance if i'm honest. Bucks, herts its all the same.. ish...

All jokes aside, i bet thats a hoot to drive. I would love to get a car for me, not one to transport my tribe around.

Just managed to persuade HID that we need a Toyota GT86... and I'm closer to 60 than 50. Sadly, my last motorbike went to a new home last year and there won't be another one, but that's more to do with dodgy hips.

I have a little one and have to carry clubs around so thought the Mondeo would be cool and they are very good now. I then realized that most of my trips are on county lanes and generally flat out, going to work and to the club. I thought the Mondeo would be a little bulky for that kind of fun and that I would be constantly having to stick in in a hedge to let other drivers through. With all that in mind this is what I came up with.

They say it handles like a dream and wheel spins out of slow corners or junctions... I was 13 years in the motorsport industry, that's ideal for me!

I guess the clubs will go on the leather Recaro`s in the back.... 8-10 weeks to wait now

I did the same. Subaru WRX STi with 350+BHP.

I am over it now and it is for sale! Took 13 months to get it out of my system.

Ooo nice, thats a great car! There is also the Subaru version thats the same car but Subaruier...

I had a look at one of those, but a bit down on power compared to my 370Z.

So they say but it is meant to handle like a dream! Did you get a 370Z?

Dab of oppo...

My tame car dealer got me one, and it goes like a bullet.

 

[Tarkus1212]

I did the same when I turned 40, Honda S2000 - the most fun I've ever had in a car, every time I pushed the red start button I got a stupid looking grin on my face

I'll readily admit that I shed a tear when I sold it...
