Did have a Vauxhall Astra 1.4, sold that and got an electric bike, sold that and got a Honda CBF 125. Still got the road bike though, and drive the wife's Renault Modus sometimes. It's a very dull car, and being an automatic makes it even duller. It's fuel consumption is hideous (24MPG around town and only about 32 on a long run). At least my Astra had a decent sound system, which is the only thing I miss about my car.
The motorbike does 120+MPG, and is lots of fun. Plus I don't get close passes anymore. result

I'm going either white with blue stripes or the wife likes grey with black stripes, seen a couple like this at shows and they look good. I'll run it in off-white/grey as in the picture (gel coat) for a while until we save up and decide. Matt black sidepipes, black halibrands, bit of a ratty look. I don't like the full chrome bling look.

Another proud owner of a dull boring but reasonably economical, spritely and very dependable Toyota Corolla. I actually bought this 4 years ago after many years of owning Golf GTi's, Cavalier SRi's etc., as I wanted to blend into the anonymous world of car ownership. I was most pleasantly surprised by this wee car; it is really comfortable and performance is surprisingly good for a 1600cc engine. More reliable than, and doesn't leak water like, every VW I ever owned. In all its freshly AutoGlymmed glory:

For first car after test pass I would have accepted mx5, E30 328, S13/14 200sx or R32 skyline

Just picked up this for the long trips down south:
nice little runaround you've got there. 1971 with a '72 front end? Keith Black 540 hemi crate on a 3 speed auto by any chance? quarter miles in the 7's?

Even when the view appears clear it still doesn't guarantee you can actually see where your going. In the pic of mine above we are sat on the floor, I haven;t put the seats in yet but with them in I have a glorious view of the top windscreen frame and not much else.
