I like that Speedy. That's my sort of wagon.  What sort of HP & torque has it got?

180bhp and 400nm of Torque

No car, just the 14, 2 bicycles, 2 feet. Great public transport here. Haven't had many cars but liked the VW GTI (1st model 1981) a great deal.

If I need a car ride, my neighbors are more than happy to give me a lift in one of their big Mercedes. Or my friend and landlord lets me have his ML 320 (with LPG).

Two special cars that I owned in the past..
The first is a Mercedes SL500 (1 previous owner) which I wish I had kept..
1st Photo (Noooo Thats not my house.. Its a local time share / restaurant that I used as a backdrop)

The second was a rare (24 in the UK) Mercedes CLK63 AMG which was quite simply the fastest car I have ever owned..
It was a brute of an engine..
"I am told" that from the beginning of a motorway slip road to actually joining the motorway it would hit 120 M P H !!

3rd Photo shows the Beast of an engine... 6.2 litres of naturally aspirated V8

Hi Col
Never been married..
Cars were a luxury I could afford when I lived at Home..
Mum died and I had to grow up bloody fast so the cars went and I run a lowly Ford Fiesta now and my bike.. (Even the Saab has gone)..
Once in the CLK63 I made the mistake of asking it to display the fuel consumption when I was on my way to work and in rush hour traffic....
6.3MPG  !!!!!

[KiwiCol]

Never married?  Ah well, guess I've made up for both of us then, (and some!)    Slow learner me . . . 

[Tony Nitrous]

I have had numerous cars and bikes, two new cars in the last year, several new cars before that, and currently have 5 complete bikes and 3 project bikes. Most of what I have is because of my wife! I'd probably be living in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere and not looking for another bike if I wasn't with her.

Sounds like you have a good one there Tony.
When the other half is supportive its brilliant..
when they aren't . . . . .
