It just occurred to me that I am very lucky to be able to own and run (just lol) a freelander 2 at the age of 29. I'm a local musician (I also study a full time course at the Royal College of Music and self funded too) Whilst I know this isn't the youngest age to own one, it is fairly young age to be owning one of these types of vehicles!! a lot of people here give the impression they are 40 + so I just thought it would be interesting to see how many other people out there are at a young age and loving the ownership of these amazing cars?
Am I the only full time student to own one? doubt it but it is pretty unusual driving in to my Halls of Residence with something like that! haha

I'm 25, age really should no bearning on the car you drive.

But your right, I do get a few odd looks when I'm not wearing a suit. Freelander 2 HSE Lux SD4 - Sumatra Black

I'm 26, had my first freelander last December at 25

It is what it is really, I don't drink or smoke, save well and live in the sticks. No brainer haha 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

I'm 28. Don't have any kids but always wanted a Landie!

I can afford it, so why not?

I agree.....just think the looks you'd have got if you bought something ridiculous like a lime green RS....

I'm 28 and on my 5th

I don't smoke or drink or go on fancy holidays, I just like a nice motor. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

As much as I love my cars, I would rather spend my extra cash on a nice holiday than use it towards another car.

i must give the wrong impression i'm not 40

haha that's awesome!!! yeh I've always loved my cars and motorbikes!! its great that we can enjoy cars like this without being completely broke!! I don't smoke or drink either! age shouldn't be a factor but for cars like discovery/range rovers they are usually driven by middle aged blokes purely because its taken all that time for them to work up to a job salary that enables them to afford such a thing. hah

You want to see what its like now with the Lotus  Freelander 2 HSE Lux SD4 - Sumatra Black

How times have changed! The reason you see more older people driving expensive cars is simple, we bought houses first. When I was younger it was all about moving out and living independently albeit renting or buying then once settled you went onto other luxuries. And before you all shout that you can't afford to get on the housing market now, £20-30k cars would make a great deposit. That's why we all drove old, rusty and very cheap cars until now!!

i have one house in Plymouth, and i rent Halls of residence in Cardiff

But your signature says you have a new car on order! I'm lost...

Ok, it doesn't always apply...

I do, what I meant was, if I had a specific amount of money to go towards a new car or a nice holiday, I would always choose the holiday first.
