Shiters, Average chod-age? Where on the spectrum are you

[Yoss]

To echo what others have said, twenty years old seems to be a good age for a daily driver, the two Skodas being 1992 and 98. That would give an average of 23.

 

But then there are my 'toys'. The Triumph is 9 months younger than me and the bus four years older at 1964 which skews the average to around 37.5 which anywhere else would be impressive but I've already been well and truly beaten here.

 

Even when I started driving I was bombing about in twenty year old Triumph saloons so I think that is the right age.

[Vince70]

It’s easy for me as mine are 22 22 and 22 so I guess that makes 22

[captain_70s]

Doloshite - 41

Acclaim - 35

 

Avg of 38. I am 26 years old and would preferably drive older cars...

 

That average is assuming I neither count the Civic as it's sold and is leaving on Wednesday nor the 1850HL which is still in a field.

[GeordieInExile]

I've only got the one car and it's 16. Agree with others, at 15-20 you're usually saving something from the scrappy rather than buying a 'proper' classic, which suits me just fine

I tell myself I've bought a future classic instead.

 

The Puma I just sold probably is one, even if it was crispy in the usual places.

1 at 36, and 1 at 27 = 63.

That will be 31.5.

[Mrcento]

My 2 are 20 and 24... makes the maths nice and easy, 22.

 

Although both are technically a year older (both past their first registration date now, so into their 21st and 25th years on the road), so i'm going with 23.

[keef]

After years with only one car: it was 17 years old when I got it, I went all "modern" with a few some four to ten years younger. By the time I bought them they were still classics though.

 

About five years ago I started buying old, but not historic tax cars, but now seem to be drifting back to tax-free motors.

 

Current fleet 62, 65, 74, 76, 78, 79, 80, 03, so 56, 53, 44, 42, 40, 39, 38, 15 gives an average age of 40 years.

[Sir Snipes]

Currently one thirteen year old, which I think most bona fide classics where considered to be such at that age (or a 23 year old MG B was considered a classic already)? Clealy an old, Cat-N C4 is never going to be a classic and will probably be run into the ground before getting fragged.

My heart has always been late 80s/early 90s.

[barefoot]

Six cars - 46, 39, 31, 31, 20 & 15 - 182/6 = 30 & a bit

 

I am older than 30 and a bit - even in Earth years.

[Junkman]

Junkfleet average age is 34.25 years.

But I'll soon get rid of some of the newfangled tosh.

 

Well, the Junkfleet average age is now 33 years.

I'm working in the right* direction.

[HillmanImp]

1965 Imp, 1972 GT6, 1987 Visa & 1998 Jaguar gives me an average age of 37.5*.

 

I'm over 40 but the doctor gave me a fitness age of late 20's at my heath assessment recently.

 

I have to say that it was a bit unnerving that he told me in the middle of my prostate examination though.

 

 

*Edited after looking at my sig after I posted. and seeing the Visa is 87 and the in 65

[tooSavvy]

2x IMPs ('64) in early 80s

 

.... ToMM now >> 27th birthday on Dec 6!

[Schaefft]

20+ years seems to be a common theme with all of my cars, so somewhere around 23 years seems about right. Crazy if you think about it they are all pretty modern feeling cars.

[egg]

Mazda is 23, both Mondeo's are 25, better now without that 16 year old Fusion.

[SiC]

46yrs ('72 1100)

44yrs ('74 MGB)

10yrs ('08 TT)

8yrs ('10 A4)

 

Average of 27yrs.

 

I'm 32, so I need to do better. Easiest way to correct I guess will be to just buy more older cars?

[AlabamaShrimp]

35 (83 Fiesta)

30 (88 Fiesta)

30 (88 Fiesta)

14 (05 Fiesta)

25 (94 Frontera)

17 (01 Ka)

 

So our says says...25 years and a small bit.

doing some quick maths the solution to your problem as with most of your other problems it seems, would be to get rid of the TT 

 

(46+44+8=98 98/3=32 )

45 if you sack off both of those modern Aldi things.

[Ghosty]

Both of mine are '91s now. Makes things easy: 27.
