The cars and bikes thread!

[muddy250]

No, Chris - no bikes for me for a while.

Never without here, down to one at the mo and that Kwak is out of the question unfortunately at £60k.
But boy would I give my eye teeth to try it out!

I am hankering after something silly again these days tho, that 0-100mph in 4 seconds rush never leaves you once you've got used to it.

Yes I'm going to get a bike, just don't tell my wife.

My god that Kwak is insane.

I caved, and went for a sensible VW polo 1.2 tsi r line 2012. 104bhp and small and light so pretty nippy. And 40mpg. I could've got 2 rx8s for the £11k, but this has a warranty, free servicing for 3 years, whereas the rotary engine would likely have exploded. Loads of gear, nice inside, 3 doors. Attachment 19048

And yes, it's white.

Sharp. We have a white car too. I like white. Is yours diesel or gas? Stick or auto?

Ta. Gas turbo 6 speed stick. The missus would prefer an auto but what the hell

I'm thinking I should've got the gti instead (still can change my mind). But then I'll end up wanting the r32 etc.

They do a Polo GTI don't they? Do they still sell it with a stick? Or is it all flappy paddle now?

What about Seat or Skoda?

They do a polo gti stick. The old one is 1.4 turbo and 180bhp, the new is 1.8 turbo and 190. I think. It'd be an old one if anything, though I have looked at seats. I'm a badge snob though and couldn't own a skoda, even though I know they're VWs underneath and decent cars. Stupid, I know.

See, having no history with Skoda, I wouldn't have any biases against them. They're just VWs with cash on the hood to me.

Utterly insane.

F1 car 790bhp and 640kg, 1.23bhp per kg.

H2R 326bhp and 212kg, 1.53bhp per kg, same as a Moto GP bike at 240bhp and 157kg.
200mph sir? Not a problem.

I just need £60k is all.

OK, watch this from about 5'00 and be sure to be concentrating at 5'30

His "butt tocks" are held firmly in place?!
