Youngest Scorpio Owner?

I purchased my first MK3 Granada Scorpio when I was 23 and owned it for 8 months. Now 24 I've just moved up in the world to a 2.3 Ultima.
Anyone here around my age? I do get a lot of grief of my mates for it calling it a "Grandad Car" etc but for me it's perfect and I couldn't give a monkies what they think! (Strange how they all change their minds when they get in though and realise it's more comfortable than sitting on their sofas!)
It was meant to be the comfy car to compliment my toy (other car is a VX220) but I find the Scorpio more of a toy to play with than my VX!

Well, you beat me !
I was 24 when I bought my first Granada - a Mk2 2.3GL auto saloon in a hideous apple green metallic finish with a black vinyl roof - only kept it a month as the engine was clapped and could only get about 16mpg out of it. Bought a 2.8 Ghia 6 months later ans have had Granadas and now my Scorpio for most of the time since.
Yes, my mates called it a 'Grandad car' till they sat in it and then the silence was deafening

Sierra XR4i's are great...especially when fitted with 4WD

Iirc, tiberius is around our age too. (My apologies in advance if I'm mistaken)

savvy.
Your mates have a dread of feeling inferior among their kind,and most will have howling little euroboxes with which to impress one another. You have reached the stage of mature appreciation of top class tackle,they will remember you when they are fully grown!

I was 27yrs, which i thought was young for a Scorpio 2.9 12v V6 owner, now at 33 I have bought another. Having grown bored and unsatisfied with a 54 plate Mondeo, and 03 plate Omega. I have just found a met red 2.3 R reg and am in love. Pipe and slippers who cares.

I was 19 when I got my first Granada.
Mk1 3.0 Ghia Coupé it was, swapped it for a Mk2 Facelift 2.8i Ghia X Exec Granada. Must have had 20 Granadas by now.
I was 36 when I bought my first Scorpio.

I am 27 at the moment but I was 24 when I had my first Scorpio. However I was 17 when I had my first Granada a 1986 2.0GL and I have had a 1992 DOHC Granada Scorpio and a 1994 2.9V6 12v Granada Scorpio also. Bit sad but I always cruised around in comfort and luxury rather than out and out speed, theirs always someone faster than you anyway! When I go in so called modern 'good' cars like Golfs, Saxo's, Mondeos (excluding the new one haven't been in one of those yet), Passats and the like I am always unimpressed with the refinement and equipment in cars almost 10 years newer, this was the same for the Granada as well at the time.
