POLL: Average Age of a Cali Owner?

[DavidofHook]

I do not yet own a Cali but am considering it. I am 81 and not very active. Do the members consider me to be foolish in contemplating this course of action?
Can't tell you mate but we manage fine in ours and I am 71!

Ah! Blunder,
My post to Zygo should say tha I am 71, not him, and tha we are fine with ours. In fact we are on our second Cali, our first was a T4 and now we are into our third year In our T5.
Age is irrelevant really I think.

I've just brought one and i'm 44. Comtemplated a conversion on my existing T5 but in the end it would have just been an imitation of the real thing. Cannot wait to take it away.

Wise decision

I will still be 28 when mine arrives in March. Is there anyone else in their twenties? :smile

Hi all...

Don't want to offend anyone but I have always wondered what sort of age people are that own a Cali...

I guess my first reaction would be retired people but I'm not so it is something that I've always wondered... ☺

We we're 38 when we bought ours and feel very lucky to have such an awesome vehicle at that age.... ☺

Thanks

Shaun (now 40)

Perhaps someone could set up a poll?

We were 52 when we purchased our first Cali (2 years ago). Now going through process of ordering a T6!

 

[daveyboydanger]

We're 36 (we're 35 when we got our first).

 

[AnneP]

Neither of us are retired! Both need to work to pay for such luxury!

 

[Alibee]

41 when we bought our first Westy. Now 44 buying a T6 but I may well be 45 by the time it arrives!

 

[sapto]

Still working for the next 32 years and got mine a year ago (saw it for the first time on 8th April '15).

 

[GrannyJen]

I got Albert three years ago as a retirement present to myself.

All I need to do now is to retire

 

[bournemouthbeach]

Ok...

Looking younger than I thought to be honest. I guess I only thought it may have been older due to the cost of the Cali because to be far they are a pricy bit of kit... ☺

40 when ordered and 41 when picking it up.

 

[Bramco]

I think you've caught all the people at work wishing they weren't, so trawling the forum.

Us oldies are out enjoying ourselves. Both 63 when we bought as a retirement present two years ago. I'll leave the maths to you youngsters.

bought at 60. just celebrated my 70th birthday

Interesting post bournemouthbeach! We are 42 (my lady) and quite much younger myself being 41. I am quite sure there is a big age difference between cali owners and campericed vans. I originally come from the north of Spain where surfing is quite popular and you can see a lot of youngsters with DIY transporters and vitos. Mine is on its way and I dont still know how we are going to pay for it.

61 when I upgraded from a Split to the Darkside
when we collected dealer was surprised we were not planning a big retirement trip like most he had sold ones to! Been a VW bus person since 1975 ...
it gets scary when you look in mirror and se your granddad looking back at you instead of your dad..or brother"!
