How old were you when you first had your sport?

[HartZ]

I know this only really applies to Sport owners but was just wondering what age you were when you first owned a sport?

My Dad said I was too young for a 172, but found the insurance at a good price for a 19 year old lad..

Thanks,
Danni

Ahh i feel better now that quite a few younger people had these at 19.. I probably wasn't the only one who was paying quite a bit on their insurance..

About 19 when I had the RS Clio, unfortunately it took me till I was 33 to get the 182 as the house purchase came first.
