First drove a 300 at age 17 as I learned to drive in my parents' 340 1.4.

Last drove a 300 earlier this year at the age of 38 so that's over 20 years of 300 driving!

I can beat that, the first time I had a go behind the wheel was aged 7 in my dads 343 when it was new in 1977 (off the public highway :P ). 34 years ago :( I just drove forward and back a bit. Later I used to drive it at our allotment, where there is about 1/2 mile of off road tracks in the mid t 80's before I passed my test. Variomatics are ideal for the underage driver who can hardly reach the pedals never mind change gears! :lol:
