So..
Life has been getting to me a bit, not overwhelming, as much as just feeling a bit saddened/disappointed with society/politics. It's all ugly at the moment, tragically so.
Needed a bit of a change of perspective..
So I've just bought another Gixxer 1000

I've seen two in real life, and both were broken down. Hardly scientific evidence but I ll still take a Porsche if l want to consistently reach my destination
One thing that never ceases to amaze me about the A110 is how it can simply eat 200 miles more comfortably and quietly than a 911, yet it only weighs 1100kg. Oh and it does 38mpg.
@shaneylynch @Wunderbuck@CrimeLdn You're right the speed differential is the issue. For Mr Montego, 120mph, 150mph and 200 ALL sound terrifyingly dangerous. They're like the people b4 railways who thought 60mph+ would mean suffocation!
Traffic/prodigious speed/ having the balls to film it makes this guy dangerous
@jksphoto1@Si_Browse Theres a moment when there are two lanes blocked, and the bloke doesn't lift; it would be hypocritical of me to say dangerous, but....
Anyone else have a strong colour preference for their garage?
Blue with a silver wheel only for us. We also like a V8 and arenโt bothered if itโs in the front or back ๐
20 or 30 cars, depending upon their condition. More than this are hard to enjoy. I think it's fine to have cars sitting. We all have books on our shelves we haven't read yet.
Being a "car guy" (or girl) should never be a consideration when hiring a journalist to cover the automotive industry. In fact I consider it a demerit.
@Neondancer Be Aware, if you aren't already, that Copart appear to make money by nickel and diming you out the door. But at least descriptions are honest and you can inspect the car in person (covid permitting)
This vehicle was seized almost immediately after the previous speeder. This time 120mph in a 70 #A11#Mildenhall, the female driver was also disqualified from driving last year and had no insurance. #StayAtHome#fatal4#Pc1880
@f1vision Dude just Don't. A classic car is interesting because it is of the era from which it was made. Put modern bits on, it becomes like a pensioner with dyed blonde hair and fake tits - not modern, not historic, just tragic, a monument to poor judgment.
I remember reading somewhere Bob Lutz was doing Corvette LS conversions on these after #fisker had their "whoops our battery supplier went bust" moment
