Where can I download the "old" fcpX, I bought one two years ago and use it on my I Mac.
Now I want to use it on my Mcc book pro (an old one, MAC OS X 10.6.8 8GB Ram) if I travel
Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 12 GB Ram, Tunderbold external
If you have Time Machine backups you could restore an old one to your desktop and copy it to the old MBP.
Failing that if you know someone with it you could copy it across to your computer, though this is not strictly legal.

That is completely illegal Ian
Not trying to police anything, but if you have a legitimate, licensed version of Final Cut Studio on your iMac, it was installed from a set of disks _ not a download.
That license allowed users to install on one desktop and one laptop, So those same disks should be used to install the apps, including the "old FCP" on your MBP.
I don't recommend copying the apps. It will probably work fine most of the time but far too often, problems arise down the line that would be avoided by a "clean install" of the apps; then – very importantly –successively running Software Update until there are no more updates.
If you would like more input on this, post over at the Final Cut Studio forum.
Good luck.

True!
I think he's referring to pre 10.1 versions of FCP X.
@Ian: Of course he is…clearly, now that I have had my second cup of coffee and re-read the subject title. Thanks.
@bmex: Please disregard my post.

If you can update your laptop to 10.8, there may be a way.
It's summarized here in this Apple document.
