how young / old is a cobra owner?

hello everyone,
was wondering how old the average cobra owner is, if you can call us average! I'm 24 and have had my cobra for almost a year now, and and each time I tell someone what I drive, invariable, they simply dont beleive me because of my age.
so are there any other younger peeps out there driving proper cars, or is everyone my age still thrashing about in hot hatches?

God I feel old.

I was 29 when my GD was on the road, 33 now although you wouldn't think so to look at me. :7 :7 :7

Before anyone else pipes in, yes, I look far older!!!

Although I don't act it..... }(

RE: how young / old is a cobra owner?

Was 19 when I built My first cobra (after a kit before that) went a bit mad with some German dealers and beacame a bit of a Dave (as you do) and built 5 more by the age of 23 then retired from kit building. Met a woman. Starting build no. 18 (happens to be a cobra) at 31 years old and I wish I never Had!!! Frankly fed up with it and I think that the reason is that I acheived one of my goals very young and the desire has gone. yeah I'll smile when it done but enoughs enough.

Need to move on to something else.

But for all you would be's. You wont reget it. Not for one minute. So get in your god dam garage and complete the dream.
