Recommended Posts

I have a 2009 BMW 320di SE in black (of course) and a 2008 CB600F-A Hornet (in black also).

I like driving my car, but much prefer riding the bike.

But for weeks of weather like this one, the car has it's uses.

Best decision I ever made. Although I do miss Rexy a lot! Not so much fuel consumption, 18mpg on a good day :shock:

I have had a nice variety of cars..... but, i would rather be on my bike. 8-)


I have a car cos i need one for the family chores.... I aint putting a piccy up as its a hunk of Shiete.... :lol:


Pug 206 Flat Diesel. Does the job and its cheap as chips to insure and run.


Before that i had a Xsara VTS. That was the nuts but cost a bomb. (Went like one too) But if i want to ''Make Progress'' now, I take the bike.... :wink:


Some nice motors here though.... :D

Oh I see! My bad :?


Not to worry, I'm sure people know what a Focus looks like, there is enough of them on the road.

2006 Astra 1.3 CDTI6 Estate in a dull grey colour, really slow, quite noisy but averages at 80mpg round the doors and can sit at 100mpg on the motorway if you're gentle.


I bought an estate so I can fit my mountain bike in the back, two wheels will always do it for me.

i had until recently a BMW 320dse until one morning on my way to work some balloon decided to jump a red light and as a result i ploughed into him in his little corsa and knocked him out of the way but as i were travelling at 40mph there were no way that were stopping me, my airbag decided to come away from my face just intime for me to see the bollard, metal railing and the traffic light which eventually brought my lovely bmw to a stop and a 1 way ticket to the car cemetary, :crybaby: ............................. so now i just use my CBR600F and occasionally me wifes golf cabriolet, but only when necessary......................... :up:

Used to be a figaro. I sold it and my girlfriend sold her hot air balloon to scrape together the deposit for a house.

Now I have a CBR125:

 

Gotta love a Figaro...and well, not everyone has a hot air balloon :shock:

If you can get that started ill pay you :lol:


It is a runner but it takes a while.I only took it off the road at the time cos the arches had a bit of rust and i was gonna get it stripped re-panneled and sprayed.Changed job and ive never had a penny spare since.

Full leather electric original recaro interior(rare as hens teeth) needs fitting get rid of the chequered half leather thats in there but there is no wiring loom from the door card switches to the seats so its an extra task £££.

Will be a future classic as its has motoring history.One day shell be sorted.......lottery please
