Default Biase advice required

ok ok, i know the answer i will get, and thats probably why im asking.

The thing is iv been bikless for a few months now as i sold my car and bike to buy a decent car for kitten to learn to drive in. She is now nearing test and as such we have purchased her own little car, meaning i can sell the big juicy one I have for somethign more "me".

this leaves me with a dilema....

Do i..

Spend the money on something posh like a late reg Alfa 147 with some change to reduce my monthly payments ( no comments about reliability please)

or do i buy a TD escort and a brand new blue and white tuono? as i can buy both for the same price as i am selling my current car for? and the reduction in car insurance swapping to a escort nearly pays for the tuono insurance!!

Its hurting me to make this descision as I know this is the cheaper time of year to buy bikes but i did tell myself I wasnt going to buy another one till march, but my fear is the bikes will be back up at the £7200 mark rather than the 6k mark they are now.

Any help, advise would be much appreciated and yes even if it is biase!

cheers

Me

There's an Escort that you can roll up and put in your pocket...if you have a long enough one...pocket that is.

I'm with this one,

Tell her that now she's passed her test she needs PRACTICAL experience, and by giving you lifts everywhere for the next year, she can payback the taxi service you've provided for the last god knows how long.
