Demographic age of Jensen owners

[Robinson D]

look on the bright side, your pension providers will be delighted

That they will.

Well I'm an old worn out git now, but I was 14 when I owned my first Jensen.
43 now, so thats a long time with the marque- the light has never dimmed!

[witkowski]

Perhaps there could be another survey of (1) how old we were when we first obsessed over a Jensen, and (2) the gap between getting obsessed and getting the object of our desires. For me (1) is about 23 and (2) 40 years!

I answered just in the nick of time. About to roll over in to another age bracket.

12 when I 1st saw one (an Interceptor), looked inside and thought WOW that's like an Airplane and it does 160!! .. 18yrs old when I got one and have one ever since.. now 53!!

[Grant]

Sheesh...I just turned 50 a fortnight ago...that's the first survey I've participated in that puts me in that demographic.

But I guess there's good news - I brought the Interceptor a few months after my 21st birthday, and my car is nearly as old as me and still turns heads (or maybe it's the driver, I don't know ).

Then again, maybe there are benefits - there's a local insurance company that gives benefits to the "over 50's". Kinda reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Gramdpa Simpson said "I'm old - gimme, gimme, gimme". Is that sense of entitlement beginning to creep up on me?

(2) the gap between getting obsessed and getting the object of our desires.

I got the Interceptor ( Obsessed about ) and still haven't got 'The object of my desires.' and maybe never will.

Grant mega!
Just chucked out last bloke from meeting- yup mega late!

Saw your last, awesome!
You know this is my real rig- are you free for the screen test?
They still want to know what car/in-conti vehicle we want to drive/be picked up in/on.

I'm thinking them gross blue 3 wheel job's- the original with a side door-

G&T episode 1- the terrorist that jumped the que at the meat counter in Asda, that turns out was deaf & wasn't a terrorist, nor was it Asda, was Aldi.

Episode 2: G&T infiltrate a terrorist left wing feminist croshet group, trapped in 1970- with hilarious consequences.

Episode 3: G&T get massively pissed up with, who they thought were Bodie & Doyle, end up in a sleazey sex club, in a peters pie special forces eating contest, naked except comedy hair & jumpers, with, obviously, hilarious consequences.

Episode 4: G&T arrest the bloke with a dodge moustache & fez in a very obvious north London/Cadiz bar- truns out is a cross dresser code named ''brenda' a lorry driver from hull, that is innocent, but slightly embarrased- the boys get a 'roasting' off Vera, their cross dressing ex-SBS Boss, who the boys idolise.

Episode 5 G&T storm a libary in north london/lebanon- they rescue everyone ( the 78 year old librarian from Hatfield) & jobs a good 'en- only 6 million quid damage & only the whole place & the librarian's elderly car destroyed-they rescue a copy of 'fly fishing' by JR Aurther- job well done- the boys got a parking ticket, with hilarious consequences.

Episode 6- season finale : G&T end up being part of a whitch hunt- a too-bob 'nere do well' police bloke, with a shite wig goes after the daring duo- they are in hiding having foiled a diamond robery in Gregs the bakers in Lewisham shopping centre/ Harrods- with, clearly, hilarious consequences.

Me & Grant are happy to sign box sets & tea towels- we are still in touch with 'normal people'

Boom- season 2-teaser-
G&T go into hiding having Infiltrated an inter-bollox cat food scam involving KFC & that daft old biddy meals on wheels thing,the one with the bird off morning telly, which leads the duo into a' international terrorist plot involving sunday supplement offers,exploding huge 1 foot boot or 10 tulip pants for a fiver that iginite when moaning about everything in the post office.Will Vera their boss cover the boys??? - on screens soon........G&T Fight hard, sleep longer- the best crime stoppers since, well everything.
