Bike or car?
 
I'm having a crisis moment where I'm trying to decide whether I should keep my Daytona or not.

I really miss having my clio 182 and am hankering for another which I could take out on crappy days like today or go for trips with the kids rather than using the family car.

Convince me one way or another or just talk some sense into me as I can't decide. I've even toyed with both but I think it's an extravagance I can I'll afford.

Four wheel move the body, two wheels move the soul.

do what feels right to you.

personally every single car is just a tin box with wheels. they all go the same speed stuck in traffic.

i love having a car due to the lovely British weather but in reality as long as its economical and comfy i dont care what it is.

if i want excitement i'll take the bike out. i have driven a loooot of fancy fast cars in my time and they still dont compare to the felling of a motorbike...

You do make a valid point or points, I just seem to find myself using it less and less due to going places with the family. Both would be ideal

Yes I did mate, sprayshack? They are near me in Leominster.
Cheeky question but what mileage is yours on and did you pay top dollar?

Yup sprayshack did them. It was on 104k when I got it and paid £3k which I thought was a fair price for the condition
