2.2 Vectra SRI It's been chipped though

It's done 35k in over 4 years, so as you can see, it's not exactly my main form of transport.

My bike is a few left over bits in a shed now so I have a car but no bike.

It's a 1.6 Astra that pumps out the same BHP as an SV, The problem with this is that it is 12 times heavier than an SV

Had a go in a 50K Audi thing and didn't think it was worth the money, fast but boring and characterless. Whats the point of a V8 if you cant hear it. Perhaps after a bike no car (except perhaps a TVR) will be exciting.

Company car pools about the best I can manage.

although the wife has one (I've driven it 9 times in 3 year).

short of that got a couple of spare bikes

Cheers Mark.

NEVER owned one...

driven official cars for work but otherwise used public transport before licence and bikes all the time since

looking at new house and now realising they may have some use after all... shed loads of stuff to get to the dump but gonna be difficult on the sv

Hmmmmmmm - TVR!!

I've got a mate that sold his DeLorean (!) to get a (bright yellow) TVR Cerbera. Now although it's only the base Speed Six model, it still has 350bhp-odd and weighs not alot! It was the only car I've ever sat in that accelerated like that!! It was almost like a bike's acceleration... Still trying to persuade him to let me have a drive! (I could show him a thing or two in a car, I know but it's his car & he won't let anyone else drive it!!
I dread to think what the top of the line V8 model is like with 400bhp-odd!!!
