Its just not cool imo, its like goodwood festival, all the decent cars are driven by old grey haired men.
Its just a shame, and i feel gutted that unless you're a footballer or you have a rich dad, most people aren't going to experience these things until they are old and by that time it seems a waste.

Life begins at 50.
Rather this car be driven by an experienced 67 year old than than a 30 year old toff with a rich dad.

Ah ha. I see.
That said, it's not like you're not gonna enjoy it at that age. And lets face it, most people would be incredibly lucky to be able to afford something like that even by that time of life.
The cars at Goodwood are period, just like their (racing) drivers Hence the white/grey hair.
Expensive stuff usually comes with grey hair.
Apart from, as you say, the scummy overpaid footballers.
At least we can take joy knowing they'd never have the skill, wit, taste or intellect to truly appreciate any of the things that they could afford.

It's in the car park of his own pub and apparently that's where it ended up after it was driven off the transporter.
