    Old style VFR is good enough for me.

    110 miles a day and love it.

    And to all the cars.
    Bandit does the job for me, commuting from Kent into London every day. The fecking scooter riders in London are a nightmare though.

      I have a KTM Duke II. Lobbed it into a ditch last weekend. No damage to bike or rider.

      I only get to ride it at weekends. shame.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        All very well and good...but you ain't being much help here boys and girls.

        I can't have a bike (motor or otherwise) because I have fallen off every one I have ever owned...I need a car...so which one?

        Currently the vote stands at the 350Z...

              nice car etc... but what happens when someone asks
              "what car do you drive?"
              the reply
              "a Nissan"
              hmmmmm doesn't sound too good does it.

                There's nothing wrong with Nissan.

                How does I drive a Seat (Spanish Skoda) sound any better?

                If you want badge snobbery, stick to the Merc.

                  Said it before and I'll say it again,

                  Ford Focus Estate 2.0 Ghia.

                  Plenty of room for the shopping. Also handy when friends call you up a few times each month and ask if you can drop something off down the dump or pickup a fridge/telly from the local Comet, as their car is too small.

                  Sensible and pratical.

                  Try doing the above in a 2 seater Tuscan...
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    Quite right, BGG. Hence my recommendation for a Hummer. Also handy for dropping the kids off at school in a war zone.

                      I currently have a Touareg as the main family car so don't need a transporter, and actually its the bain of my life...

                      If a friend asks you to give them a hand taking a fridge to the tip then you are obliged to do it...but who the heck wants to be put in that position.

                      I know I am miserable and don't deserve friends, but at weekends I want to sit on my couch and watch the football scores come in, I don't want to be lugging a bloody fridge down the tip.
