Sure "up and coming" whatever you want to call it: 23 and owned 4 FC's prior to owning my FD. I mention that because I believe owning and working on an FC should be a pre-requisite to buying an FD.

26, hitting 27 in sept.

ive owned my FD for about 2 years, its been one hell of an adventure. i can now say with the utmost confidence that any mechanical failure that occurs i can easily shrug it off after owning this demon. you just can't help but quote Jack Burton "what the hell" and continue the addiction.

23. I bought my first one when i was 16 in my sophmore year of high school and saving every last cent i got it running senior year. I just purchased my 3rd fd chassis a few months ago for the 20b project. I cant imagine not owning one of these monsters.

36 on my second FD. I'm an old fart! I have thatand the dog wagon/people mover

I've lived around 7s in one fashion or another, my dad had an 85 GSL. First manual car I learned to drive at 14. My bestfriend had an 88 vert, lots of skipping school.
When the FD came out I was graduating high school. My plan was to buy a nice used car after college, pay it off and get an FD.
