I've had my car from new 2002 and first joined SIDC 2003. Most of the members at that time were mature adults. The odd member being around 25ish. Because of the cost of insurance and the price of the cars themselves it preclude the young driver and those that could afford it generally respected the older members.
Now it seems that the older cars are more affordable and younger drivers are able to get insurance or not.
Although I'm 65 this year I still think there is some good forums SES, 22b, P1 etc but some of the clubs, over the years have become very young male testosterone driven. Which in my grumpy old git opinion is a shame.
Thank goodness for SES and the hard work that goes on behind the screens by dedicated members.
Might go and wash the car now that's off my chest.
Kind regards Hugh
