I *think* at the ripe old age of 44 that I might finally be bored of fast cars. I’m sick of ending up with some young prick hanging on my bumper (Usually in a Fiesta ST?) every time I use the Golf R. I thought about debadging it, but that’s not going to disguise the quad exhausts. I got less of this pish when out in the Aston.

Yep. At 48 I've found I'm looking at luxury over speed. There's a nice Jag XE at the garage round the corner that I have my eye on. No idea what it's like inside but it looks smart from the outside. I don't even break the speed limit these days. I save the fast driving for Dirt rally and Wipeout!

At 46 I find myself in possession of a tired Type-R (owned since practically brand new) and I'm not going to be able to justify replacing it with anything as fast and fun ... and I know I'm going to miss it. I tried going sensible once before and it didn't take. I don't think I'll ever grow out of my love of hot hatches ... but family life means funds are needed elsewhere. God knows what I'll have to replace my beloved Civic with.

It's amazing how much driver behaviour can be tied to car models, it feels like it's always the same brands doing the same behaviour when on the road.
I don't sweat being in someones way, I always ride the speed limit or a tad over in places so anyone comes hugging close behind me in a dusty old Corsa they can wait, if you're running 20+mph above the speed limit you're not in a place to take the high ground
It's all about manoeuvers anyway - Any flat footed chimp can make a car go fast, it's being able to steer that car through the eye of a needle that's the skill test and most pedal pushes would fail that test
