I'm 20, have driven the requisite bomb (1989 civic & peugeot 404 [pugsley fun tho]) for the last 2 years (australian license=18) whilst I've been restoring my 71' 240, I don't see why age should be a factor, if you are willing to work for your car (and not beg mummy and daddy for a new m3) whether you are a twenty y.o. or a 50 y.o. you have the same right. Cars are meant to be driven, and a car totalled by a 50 y.o. is the same as a car totalled by a 20 y.o. (god forbid it happens to my car or anyone elses). and hey, if you get one at 18-25, you've got longer to enjoy it and appreciate it :-). hehe Huw
