Especially when it rains.......

Wouldn't the world be boring if we all only went with what is "best". Personally I quite like bikes AND cars.

I will always choose Bikes over cars BUT I really like the car in the OP. It looks to me like a Catterham on Steroids. I've been lucky enough to drive some great cars (badly) on the track and the most fun was in the Catterham 7. Yes cars can be fun, but not as much fun as bikes. But come on, regretfully we all know cars go into corners quicker and can break later on a track , don't we? It's just that bikes ARE MORE FUN!

Can't get your knee down in a car, and not many of them will hold a 100mph + wheelie.

The ultimate way to settle this is to find BluePete when he's in one of those fancy high performance patrol cars (does Manchester have them like Essex does?). If you end up behind bars you'll know the car is quicker.

I've sold my car because it was never used, plus, like Idle Biker says, bikes are more fun.
It's nice to have a play in a sports car every now & again, but nothing beats the feeling of riding a bike
