bikes, millions. most loved its hard ummm i did have a long string of lc's and power valves they were real fun, loved them all.
as for cars the list is small. funny really i have never owned a car smaller than 2lt even when i past my test i had big cars
:D :D insurance wasnt the issue it is today. i have always likes and prefered jap cars, this is my first honda and it has been the most reliable vehicle i have ever owned. :twisted:
i like kit cars too, but never owned one myself. best memory of cars is shagging some girl in her suzuki samari while the blur song woo hoo came on the radio :lol: :lol:

1992 bb1, where it all began! Lol
Swapped that for a scooby 555 280bhp standard!
