Been away from a while. i'm still in the twin turbo Liberty but been
collecting bikes like nobodys business. Currently got 2 V-Stroms a 650
and the thousand and 3 Fireblades. An 06 racebike, an 04 streetfighter
and an 06 that I am turning into a Repsol replica so I can pretend I am
doctor house md.


Collecting bikes... hmm.

Now sure how long a while is, but I'm running a '04 Saab 9-3 low pressure
turbo.

Nice collection!!

My only roadworthy car is a Montego GSi. It's not got a great reputation,
but it drives great, it's been 100% reliable and it's perfect for lugging
crap around in. Might chop it in soon though for something else soon
though, as the fuel economy is getting annoying.

Tucked away in the garage is a Rover SD1 Vitesse which is gradually becoming
roadworthy. Hopefully I'll be driving it about by the end of the summer, as
I'm missing the V8-goodness.

Other half has a Citroen C1 now, which is great. Revvy little 3 pot with no
power, but handles like a go-kart and costs feck all to run.

I've got an IS200, missus has a Yaris.
After all my bangers breaking and costing "unexpected" money, she made
me spend upfront on something modern and reliable.

Wow a sensible call on a car. Colour me shocked. : )

Welcome back. Since I got back I bought a 1984 Mercedes W123 diesel
estate but that's now blown a gearbox and is waiting for someone off
ebay to collect it tomorrow. SWMBO has the Clio she left her family to
look after while we were away and it was not looked after at all, it
was pretty ****ed actually. We got it back on the road and it's just
about hanging in there. Should last until we go travelling again. I
probably won't buy another car if I can get away with it. I cycle to
work and back anyway!

We both got our full motorbike licenses too. Haven't bought a bike,
but the weather has been brilliant this year... I liked that black and
silver Honda you had when we visited you but they don't sell them over
here. Reminded me of a Ducati Monster, but I expect it wouldn't need
as much maintenance!

Do you watch Top Gear Australia? I've been downloading it and it's a
pretty good effort considering the general quality of TV over there


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Had few bikes since I last saw. I think over 10 now. : )

Don't watch top gear australia. I reckon the guys on it are complete tools.

Yeah I know, but having played for just a couple of minutes in a Porsche
997, I now understand how good trackdays are, and fancy finding
something ludicrous, old and rwd to strip out, slower and wobblier the
better.

How about a V8 Rover P6? 12 months MOT, taxed until the end of March
(exempt anyway), yours for a grand.
