The cars and bikes thread!

Thanks. It was a lease return, so I think that helps in terms of condition. I just have to get used to all of the electronics. My old Camry (2012) had nothing really, save for Bluetooth.

Don’t be too jealous, most of our roads are just perpetually under construction.

They stopped construction work on our roads in 1895 - still have the original tarmac on them.

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt

New (to me) Audi A4

Very nice! Despite what happened to my S4, I would replace it with another, but manual, one.

Tarmac was invented in 1902. Maybe you have rare prototype roads in Steyning.

Blimey - which model? I dunno - my original figures were wet but ducati quotes dry so it's hard to tell.

It was a 900SS SP that I spent a ridiculous amount of money on magnesium this and carbon fiber that and boxes of titanium internal engine parts and hardware. It had a Fast by Ferracci big bore kit. I think the frame, the wiring harness and headlight were all that was left from the original bike by the time I got done. My first Ebay experience was selling all the parts from it. My brother still has his bone stock one that I keep trying to talk him into selling me.

Wicked. That would explain it then!

There actually is a stick ducati come to think if it with that much power to weigh ratio: the panigale superleggera - 166kg, 215bhp

Actually bollocks that's dry weigh again - damn you ducati! 190kg wet - 420lb. And £72k.
