It's always nice to see what everyone has in their garage. I can't afford a supercar but a superbike is attainable with a few years hard work. Ducati 1098s.. Don't think I'm mr moneybags though - my car is a beat up and tired '98 Hyundai Coupe that's I just sent to the wreckers. I'll miss that car. |

Unfortunately my ride is not that exciting -- a wagon (estate), bought when my kids were little. But it's a pretty hot wagon, a top-end Saab 9-5 Aero with lowered suspension, 16" wheels, boosted motor, etc. 250 lb-ft (339 Nm) of torque from 1000 to 5000 RPM. It handles very well and is fun to drive -- biggest problem is the giant turbo that takes way too long to spin up. This one isn't mine but it looks just like mine, except mine has sexier wheels: My ex-wife has the fun rides. She drives (and races) a 1984 Porsche 911, and since dumping me last year she bought a Kawasaki Ninja and a Triumph Tiger 850. |

People here would fall about if I posted a pic of my ride. UK members here know what I mean when I say it is a Nissan Micra. Pride prevents me from posting a pic. Ok, for the rest of the world, a Nissan Micra is a lawnmower with covered seating. 0 - 70 inside the week. Hedgehogs giggle at it. Even better, the model I own is called "The Tempest". Wonderful.  |

Hehe. Jem, it is even worse than that. The car is about 7 years old and so was one of the last of the models that preceeded the one in your pic. |

As long as it is pink you have my respect. If it isn't please don't let me know. I like to imagine you cruising in that exact car and honking at people who haven't read the thread on road rules |

Here is my baby. Its a Yamaha Fazer Cyber Green edition. 153cc, 14PS @ 7500 rpm, good balance and weight, but burns oil like crazy. The bike is one of the reason I can't afford a girlfriend (Oil price is going up and all). Still love it  |
