Who is the average Celica Owner?

Lots of HR/finance office people :lol:

I'm another one to add to that list, 28 years old and I work in the Fire Service - Finance Officer (Payroll mainly) I have always worked in Finance but more HR and Payroll over the last 5 years.

Had the Celica just over 7 years and still love it! Honestly can't see me parting with it for a long time despite thinking about it for practical reasons several times. We now have a 08 plate Civic 2.2 diesel for practical reasons so I can keep the Celica still :lol: Always been into cars since I was a tot, I had the city/road carpet in my bedroom and had a Ferrari bed :lol: When I passed my test at 17 it was all Max Power and the modding just grew from that.

I mainly see middle aged bald men driving filthy not very well looked after gen 6's and mainly middle aged ladies driving gen 7's - probably retired and just pootling around the shops :lol:

As a middle aged bald man driving an often filthy but well looked after gen 5, I'm not sure I fully appreciate this comment.

You forgot to add fat, by the way: as in middle aged, fat, bald men etc.

This thread is a goto for me everytime I think I'm 30something now and need to grow up...the av age here make me realise it's still ok ;)

I'm another female gen 7 owner but not a hairdresser :P Work as an account manager for business customers at a comms company. Not blonde (atm anyway) Always loved cars since I was little and the love just keeps getting more whilst strangely my bank balance gets less? ;)

Sometimes even women have moments of regression - I'm going to have a session learning how to do donuts and drifting later on this year :D . Spur of the moment thing!! I was actually booking my hubby on one as a fun thing to try and somehow ended up booking for two :lol:

Amazed by the huge range of folk driving these splendid machines!

I'm 65 and about to retire after 48 years' hard labour in a paying-out government department. My real love was the smart Roadster but having owned a couple I realised they were fatally flawed - naff gearbox and water leaks - at my age I didn't want the anxiety of anticipating big repair jobs. I wanted something vaguely exotic but bulletproof reliable. Enter the Celica - and I found an 06-plated motor with just 12,000 miles on the clock. I wanted a daily driver too that sat outside on the drive - my real exotic drive in the garage being an inherited Morgan Plus 4...

Good decision about the Smart Roadster methinks.!...and a good decision about the Celica.. :thumbs:

The Morgan Plus 4 is on another level altogether..a truly iconic car.!
