Transport of the Four Wheeled variety - what's yours?

Recommended Posts

I've been driving for 13 years and only riding bikes for 1 so my experience is wildly different. I've always loved driving and now also love riding bikes. I think each has its own unique sensory feelings that I love. I've never driven a really fast car, so I definitely think that the acceleration you feel on a bike is amazing. I also love the feeling of freedom on a bike and how you can feel your environment. I love the feeling of cornering in both cars and bikes for different reasons. Anyway, random analysis apart, these are my vehicles....no photos I'm afraid, the bike is my avatar though.


Bike: 1998 Yamaha FZS600 Fazer in Black

Car: 2009 BMW 120d SE also in black.


I love both!

cheaper insurance, tax and better MPG, but not as fun..... will have to use the bike for my kicks and giggles...

I drive 2001 Ford Mondeo 2.0TDdi Ghia :) Bought for £1000 with 160000 miles on the clock lol. Failed MOT on rear brakes, one track rod end and one front wheel bearing. Parts were about £200, a few hour job and all done:) Did almost 8000 miles in the last few months including trip to Poland without any problem :) But from Monday I'm leaving it for my girlfriend :mrgreen:

Great car:) Best one I ever had was Subaru Impreza :) Loved it to bits but I had to sell it after I got divorced :cry: Just couldn't afford it :cry: :cry:

 

Sorry to hear that mate :(


They are addictive, though... here's my current 4 wheel toy: Impreza P1, no. 0697/1000

The car behind it is my previous scooby, an STI v2 '555 edition'.

Two Cages for me - the sensible shopping car is a 1994 VW Golf, Diesel, Estate. It's rather dull. But oh so practical and economical.

And for when I'm feeling decidedly Impractical, Un-Economical and a long way from dull there's my fun car:
