Title: Average age?
Post by: Matt555 on 01 May 2006, 10:40: A drunkered question popped up down the pub the other night, after many a arguement about the average age of MK5 GTi/R32 owners we came to around 28. So what are your age fellas?

I'm 33 and get the GTi this week, my thinking is that the average age will be 30.....

Don`t get any.
"Insure" yourself against your accidental losses with Ladbrokes, then if you get caught, take the Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£250 fine for no insurance on the chin :evil: :evil:

It`s way cheaper :angry: :angry:
Title: Re: Average age?
Post by: ACH on 14 May 2006, 03:05: 29 here, looks like the average could be skewed by that 51 year old lad! How about we measure median age too? What about the ratio of male:female drivers. I've seen quite a few girls driving the GTI around Sydney.

It's heading in to VW for diagnostics/telemetry this week to figure out why DSG failed the other week, I'll keep you posted.
