If we had a 3rd Garage this may be a different story but we don't and the garages we do have are full of stuff that is less likely to be sold so .....

Better man than me, i just accumulate stuff.. my garage is laughable at the mo, 3 cars, 2 bikes and yet just one of em does all the mileage.. 18 months in and the winter use is very evident on the Yam, but its what it was purchased for.. so 3 cars for the school run then and weekends.. opposite to every other biker?

Well i need a comfy reliable car for the regular trek between Belgium & France. CR-V is still going strong but getting old. Still dunno what i'm gonna replace it with. Alpines are not all that easy to get hold of. I'll have a look when i'm back n the Périgord.

the Fiesta came 4th! i think..

​​​​​​i had a CRF250M and round the city that was a hoot, so much so i bought its dad, a 450X. better wheelies.

the M3 gets less full throttle, my CBR was only fun away from civilisation.. and the numbers on that little Fors arent a million miles from the Alpine. price is different tho
​​​
i find driving pisses me off mostly now, more and more leaning toward bikes as the struggle buggy twats can be readily dispatched..
