What are your age and profession?

[rene525d]

We recently did this on the BMW forum and it was interesting to get an idea of the age groups of the drivers and the professions... how about doing it over here as well. Would also be nice to include if this is your first P car or if you had others.

Here's Mine... 26 yrs old, Boxster s 2004. First P car. Other car is a BMW 5 series.
