I was actually tempted to buy the old man's VFR800 from him, but as much as I love bikes I do think I would end up in a mess.

AE - as Moto said. While I wouldn't expect everyone to know, id expect someone buying what was a +

I can't fight the urge to buy a DC5 either mate.

I have a very worrying feeling I will have a white one in the next year or so.

But I don't need to buy a cheaper car, I don't really want a FWD car, and am not keen to go back to tin tops.

But the desire persists.

Not quite Steven

I know a number of people killed on bikes, 2 of them decapitations.

I know of 2 other local head loss incidents.

Makes me quite sick

A guy at work bust his spleen open after being hit, and currently one of our engineers is in hospital in a very bad way.

My dad used to race and was very good too, its in my genes, I just dont think its sensible with the state of driving in this country...

The Evo would keep up with a lot of bikes, granted its not as much fun but a damn sight safer!

Evo is a very fast car but says nothing about the driver. I also assume an itr is on the horizon but hope you will continue to give your technical input to the board mark

Maybe your buyer will become a petrol head Mark. If there's any car/community to give him the bug I'd bet on an Evo.

Good luck with the DC5
