its a very nice car but the problem is with city driving the 85L tank gets you about 350km... then you need to refuel

Well, I do drive (ST220), but to be honest, here in the UK with all the insurance, speed cameras, fuel prices and congested roads, I don't drive for pleasure anymore  :(

Luckily I do have one of these.......

Image

This is a Specialzed 2003 BigHit, 8" of travel front and rear, 4-pot hydraulic brakes, 3" tyres - basically a motocross bike with no engine.

I'm yet to find a copper/speed camera in the forest! ;)

Point me towards the hills!!!

Thats a very nice bike. Kinda makes me want to spend some money on my Apollo thats rotting in the shed and get some serious exerice and have some fun at the same time (the rear wheel bearing locked the day before my driving test! :))
It was good to get from A to B, but the mantanence needed on it was so huge, even for a mountian bike on the road.
Word of advice, never buy a bike from Halfords :-/

Hi there Bman......


Yes the red one is a Lotus Esprit Turbo. The Yellow one is my old Lotus Esprit series 1 - exactly the same as the James Bond car that came out of the sea in the Spy who loved me, although mine didnt have the submarine option installed.....heheh Those pics were taken on the day i got my new red one and said good bye to my yellow one.....

The grey one is a Vauxhall/Opel Calibra.

I guess its time for me to post mine also then, and this view is one I have all the time.....this is my actual car and not a shot from some brochure....the view is 10 minutes away from where I live and is of the mountains on the mainland of British Columbia from Vancouver Island..........
This shot was taken last year in early May, 3 days before my cross-country trip to Ontario........4800km in 3 1/2 days !
Its my 1995 Oldsmobile 88 Royale.....300,000+ km

Its a 3.8 L, fuel injected, fourspeed automatic, but it still gets me 30 mpg so who can complain.....I can stretch my legs in it so its fine for me.....over here its called a mid-size.
