Oh, Oh!

I'm the only one showing in my category 60+. I'm a very recently turned 67. (two days ago) Come on the rest of you "seniors" own up and sign up!

 

Happy Birthday Fred,

Sorry its late, just catching up with the forum as been on vacation past week having lots of EDAs.

 

Happy Birthday Schoolhousefred!

I'm chronologically 60 (I'll start driving my new Eos at 61, if it arrives after Oct 4th )

Sixty is the new 40, you know.

 

Thanks Shorenuf for the Greeting .... I agree that 60 is the new 40, 80 is the new 65! I'm President of a retired Professional's Club with 250 members. (I'm a "baby" in the group) Let me tell you they are a very alert and active group!

 

Does anyone think Gavster should add another category (or two?) to his poll?

 

Think it may be tough once the poll has been started........... probably can't recast prior votes. Think it will still be interesting. Good Boy, Gavin. Gotta keep you busy until your car shows up!

 

Hi guys, Don't forget what they say....

You are only as old as the woman you're feeling!

*flame proof shield activated*

 

Half your age plus 7 Gav - that's the rule if you are a gentleman

 

Only just..........

Well I've ticked the 40's box, but it's a good job I saw this now, 'cos it would have been the next one up in a few weeks!

 

32 when I ordered and picked it up 5 months later. Still feel like I'm in my 20's..........

 

Well that settles it ........... here's an idea for VW Marketing:

"Get an EOS and take 30% off your age!"

So maybe I should have two and be a kid again!

 

I don't have my Eos yet--dealer is still trying to find the exact car i want--but I voted anyway. Chalk another one up for the 40s. Anyone else think VW may have misjudged the true demographic of this car?

 

Most new cars (most new anything actually) are marketed to the young 'uns. We older buggers know what we want and generally disregard the marketing hype, or at least think we do. I guess the marketeers take this into account and target the "younger" set.
Anyway, I'm in my 40s and I hope I'm still there when my EOS finally arrives.

Never to Old!

We have had our EOS now for three weeks and love it. I will be 62 in August and my wife 63 the end of the month. We sold our 06'Jetta TDI to buy this car. Just an 19 year old trying to get out of this 60 year old body.

2007 EOS Eismeer Blue w/ Beige Leather - 6 speed (Manual) Sport Package and 17"wheels.

 

Poll

Good idea this poll. I'm (just) 56 coming on 19!!!

S'funny but when you are a kid you announce that you are 9 & a half & looking forward to 9 and 3 quarters - now I do this in reverse whilst watching my last birthday recede at warp speed & my next approaching even faster !

Just a thought on the demographics, but given the relatively high cost of the EOS (compared to its so called rivals) is it not inevitable that the buyers would tend to be older than people in their 20's thereby reflecting the assumed higher earnings......? ----- I haven't mentioned our obvious appreciation of quality and class...

Hahaha

 

BTW is anyone surprised that there are no under 20's owners? yet...

 

Hardly. No need for rear seats if you're under 20!
Would probably choose a Boxster or something if I was under 20 and wanting a convertible!

 

and had the money!

 

I guess if Fred can fess up to being 67, I guess I can admit to being 57 but behaving like 27

Andy

 

Me too !

 

Im in the 30's club, 36 to be exact. My Eos is so wonderful I will hopefully be driving one in my 60's! Cant see me wanting to change to any other car for a long time yet anyway.

Regards Trish

 

wonder how much the insurance would be on an eos for an under 20, maybe we should talk about insurance, we all want to be fully insured for as less as possible. if you feel that you have a really good policy why not let us in on your secret

 

I'm 35, and have the 2.0T.

I got a quote online selecting the Make/Model from the list and putting in the vehicle details myself and I got a quote of £450/annum.

I put in my registration and let them look up the car and it was £300.

 

come on guys, there must be more than 5 of us representin the 20's!!!!

 

I ordered mine when I was 29, expecting delivery before my 30th birthday, but it arrived a few days after, so I'm most disturbed that I've had to tick the 30's box!!
I've only seen less than 5 eos drivers so far, and i've been the youngest by far each time!

 

I'm with Swift Cover - only ever really 'used them' for a windscreen chip repair and they were fine.

Anyway - what are you doing hi-jacking my thread!

 

lol yeah sorry gavster, its a fair cop!! we women do digress at times eh?

 

Hey Denny, I was only joking

 

hi gavs yeah i know so was i, no probs.
bet bobster n ddlweb cant wait till 3pm

 

I'll take bets we don't hear from them for a few days!

 

Too right you won't - leaving work in five minutes and the sun is coming out!!!!!

 

Have a great weekend.

 

Well i'm only 25! Consider myself very lucky that I will be picking up a brand new Eos on Tuesday! Also well paid!

By the way, I'm a Motor Fleet Insurance Broker, so your insurance chat is right up my street!

A 20 year old on a TFSI would be around £3,000.00. Compared to a 25 year old at just over £1,000.00. Anyone under 20 trying to insure a TFSI would find it very difficult!

 

I guess they could always insure it in mummy or daddy's name
