Joanna ... pianah.
Start watching Eastenders, son.
Careful with the wife, you get more fertile too.
Haven't done the rally course but did the Tangerine Ferrari/Porsche/Golf GTi[?] experience.

Stupot,

Congrats mate, I'm only a couple of weeks away from the big 30 myself.

One good point is that my insurance renewal comes up the week after and I've already had the quote. Unbelieveably, it is actually down on last years quote, only by 40 quid, but hey, it is still down.

Cheers

Ian

P.S. Reminds me, must start dropping hints for pressies

I was 30 last year, the wife had always said we couldn't Insure a Scoob until I was 30 so I called her bluff and bought one.

Cheers

I found that being 30 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That was a few years ago, though. It sounds like a cliche but you're only as old as you feel. I've seen 20 year-olds that are like old people, and I know middle-aged people that are like 20 year-olds. It's all attitude.

Hired a Caterham Seven for my 30th (two years ago).

Then went out and bought a Scoob!

All the best

Happy Birthday Stu

I don't reach the big 30 until July next year

Have a few beers and forget about it! My Dad always reckons that his 'best years' were between 30 and 35 (no, I never worked it out either )

Cheers

Swopped a Lotus Esprit for my Scoob on my 30th birthday last year. Never looked back.

The 80's did indeed rock.

Happy Birthday Stu

Don't worry - it's the big 40 that really depresses you.....that was until I'd found out my other half had booked me in for a single seater drive at Brands.

That was a few years ago and I hadn't smiled as much 'till earlier this year when of course I first drove my Scoob.

Your as old as the car you drive!!!!!

Happy B-day, I too hit the big 30 in March this year.

Wasn't really a big deal at 30 we are not really that old

Hubby is not too many years away from the big 50 - now that is really scary.

At least I can afford to insure the scoob now.
