The climbing frame didn't actually weigh that much. It was just trying to find how to fit it in and close the boot halfway as I had a 45min drive to do. In my old skoda we stuck in about 1100kgs of ikea flat.pack furniture in the boot. The car was lowww. We drove home with our chins on the dash. I'd love a motorbike but know I'd do silly things on it and become an organ donor. You think more about these things when you've got kids.

Totally agree. I sold a stupidly fast bike when my little girl came to live with me. Not worth the risk.

I think that's the reason my ZX12 has just sat in the shed for the last 3 years, only time it's moved is when I moved house last year. That was only to put it in the back of the removal truck.

Ooooh cars,me likley.
Well I do own an FD RX7 and all that bull about them needing a rebuild every 40-60k is just that,BULL.The most problematic part of
a rotary is usually it's owner.
More often than not a rotary engine failer is due to lack of proper maintenance,not checking oil often enough or using the wrong oil,
water level etc.
Mine is running a single turbo setup on standard ports at the moment,which is more than enough to embarrass all sports cars even
"super cars" that have tried it on so far, TT's 911's and one sunny day last year an arrogant F355 driver who thought that having a prancing
horse on his bonnet gave him licence to under take at will.

Sadly I don't have photo of my favorite car as a young teen.
Was a 1972 Gran Torino with 351 cleveland, 750 holley carb,header's.
My dream car however would be 1958 Chevy Impala.
 
Loving the Rex Matt! What tyrbo you running? And who is your rotary specialist of choice...out of interest?
I want an FC bad 🙁
 
Some great cars there gents. I settled for a family car and drive a modest E61. Just realised I havent taken much pics of my own cars.

Loving the RX7. I would have had mine in white. I guess growing up watching Initial D as a kid made me want jap cars. Will still continue to save up for the skyline 🙂
Although I was lent an imported MR2 recently and boy are they fun!

Even though I'm well under the legal age for driving, you can't beat one of these. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to put a Lamborghini engine in an estate though?😕 My friend's uncle also has one of these, I hear it drive past my house!:woot:

Hks T04Z I do believe,not had much work done on it myself yet,most of the mods were on when I got it,but the few bits that I've had done were done
by Powergaines and this monster was there having work done to it at the time.



Although drag racing is not really my thing,hopfully next year I'll be getting either a large street port
or a half bridge done not sure yet tho.
 
l'Autodrome de Linas --Montlhéry is also a fun ride, toast the tires and rims at the end.

We have a Mini Cooper and I drive a 4 wd Truck.
 
Here's my motor and with some friends 🙂

(the little man was brought home from hospital in the car when he was born, and the previous owner who i've had contact with also did the same so it's officially a baby chariot! 😀)

20120812_144058.jpg

It's a 1989 Lancia Delta HF Integrale 2.0 16V 4WD (240bhp Abarth chip, coilovers, poly bushed, strut braces/diff cradle, Tarox/Ferrodo brakes, blow off valve, Walbro 255 fuel pump + other bits I can't remember!). Imported to UK new, 3 owners (me incl) and just under 50k miles on the clocks 🙂

Also have a liking for 2 wheels. Over the years i've had a VFR400R NC30, CBR600 F3, Fireblade RRV, Fireblade RR3, FZR400RR 4DX and currently a ZX6R 636 A1P. Couple of pics from years gone by 🙂

Love the car Rob, one of my faves. I too had an NC30, was my first 'big' bike after my scooters when I was 17. Wish I'd never sold it.

I had the NC, a GSXR 600 K1, ZX6R B1, Z750 J2, Ducati 749 Monoposto Dark, ZX6R G2, and currently a ZX12R A1P.
