I saw what looked like a guy to be in his 60's under the bonnet of a bodykitted punto

I have to agree with this, the things you couldn't afford when you were younger (like big modded engines) suddenly become an option ;)

If you feel too old then your too old :D
BTW My dad is 59 and is still modifying his car, doing trackdays with us and is still fast. He is somewhat scary to sit with though, due to his late braking and foot to the floor style of driving.

You can never be too old... If it's what you're good at and enjoy, do it until you get board!!

You get too old when you realise you can insure much nice, faster cars for less than a well modded/tuned nova.

25 in my case

The only problem with that statement being, define "nicer" ?
If you like novas, then you see them as agood/nice car.

And its not at all difficult to turn a nova into a 300bhp weapon :D

But its a lot easier when you have 240bhp to start with. And you're able to use all that power, including when going round corners lol
