As the title says,
I wanted one from the age of 15 but due to insurance and then moving out and buying a home by the time I was 20 I didn't get round to buying one until i hit twenty five.
Now at 32 I still have the old girl, even thought its going to storage for a wee while, can't bring myself to part company.
i interested to know ......
What age are you guys?

I'm 31, had my first gt when I was 20 and just needed to buy another last year. Obviously the mrs didn't understand but just feels good to have something for myself and to tinker with.

http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps07491346.jpg
I'm 21 owned the GT since i was 18, but wasn't insured till i was 20
i'm 29 and got my first punto which was a 1.2 75sx at 17.
i didn't even know the gt existed, then one day two were for sale at a garage half a mile away from my house so had to have a look, i was 19 at this point.
so i took one for a test drive and had to have it there a then even thou the sales guy said i'd struggle to get insurance blah blah etc. anyway four punto's, a van couple of fords and a citroen c4 i still have my first gt will never get rid of her. much to my misses dismay lol
Got my first mk1 55 at 17 which I still have in many pieces. Now have a Gt for nearly a year !
Can't really explain how these cars make u feel... But when u go round a corner at 45degrees it's amazing! good old punto

Damn I feel old!!!!
Had my first GT at 19/20, a red P reg... But can't remember the full reg. anyway, after a roll, she was scrap!
Then went to midnight blue, a rapid GT1, M334YGN I think.
Around 24 I owned 'The Time Machine' ... A white 'then' leggy GT3 with reg S610ACB ... Called her the time machine after I sold her as I owned it with 128,000 miles 8 years ago and I've seen it pop up for sale a few times, every time with less mileage!!!
At around 27 yrs old I owned the cleanest example ever, a broom yellow one lady owner car with reg T287VNO ... Absolutely gutted to learn that the guy that bought it stripped it for track use!!
Now at 32 I'm on my fifth GT, a mechanically superb car bought from Jrracing on here, but with scruffy bodywork, so just had it fully re sprayed and continuing to tinker... Will be starting a project thread soon as looking for 180-200 Bhp and need help and ideas...
So, I'm 32 and still addicted to GTs!!!
Had lots of other cars, some really nice big-power stuff, but can't get away from the GT!
32 as well :lol: Had my GT since i was 21, it was the first car i owned - nearly had her for a third of my life! Far too attached to ever let her go :p
Think we need a longest owned thread!!! 11 years with the same GT has got to be a record?!
Think Cetingt owns that think 13yrs or more an only been off road about 18months of them lol
I'm 28 and was introduced to the Fiat Punto GT 11 years ago by ashleyp in his Midnight blue Mk1 which went like sh!t off a shovel until it stopped at traffic lights an died everytime!
alot older now im on my 3rd GT & low and behold this one has caused me the most problems, New engine, New Turbo and exhaust that ripped itself a new ar$ehole (Magnet DTM) sunroof that dont work.
Since the engine change the Heater only works on setting 4, the window wipers only work on full Speed and my radio refuses to co-operate with commands. Oh and i've noticed a small oil leak.
Couldnt care as this is what makes these old Fiats great and when clean mine is a very clean standard (bar the DTM) looking GT.
aahhhh the old midnight blue GT1 ... a seriously quick car that was ... fastest of them all!
