I have a lime green Lamborghini Miura P400, the most beautiful car ever made.

Sadly it is only a Corgi model. I don't actually drive. But if I did, and could afford it, that would be my car.

What ever happened to Singer?

Singer Gazell; Singer Vogue.....

I think they were swallowed into the Roots/Chrysler group and then some French outfit.....but i'm not really sure. Any helpers?

Cheers

I have a Vauxhall Combo 1.7tdi, it is quick for a van

My new transportation:



Although mine is no longer as clean as that as I've given it it's first night ride up in the Pentlands. Climbs like a hardtail, descents like a full-suss - tremendous.

Steve

Mine is a somewhat antiquish (mid 70's) Legnano road bike that still is used for about 30km+ per day weather permiting.

"What ever happened to Singer?"

Singer were taken over by the Rootes group, indeed the vogue and gazelle were badge-engineered Hillmans. The whole group was first taken over by Chrysler and then sold to PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) who changed the name to Talbot and then let the brand die. (PSA also promised not to close the Linwood factory when they bought the company, and then promptly closed it at the first opportunity.)

No. Finally landed a red 968 Lux in March. Upped the budget and got a mint one with 55k on the clock and FPSH.

Nice. What's the betting that place near me haven't sold the one there yet?

Family sensibilities now dictate a sensible sedan so I drive a 1997 Honda Accord VTi-S (5-sp manual, of course)

Previously I got away with a 1990 Honda Civic GTi, which was a lot of practical fun.

In my earlier hell raising days, I owned (in reverse order) Yamaha FZR1000T (EXUP), Yamaha FZR1000 (Original), Yamaha FZ750, Suzuki GSX1100. I lived to tell many tales despite a totally misspent youth, so it's a steel cage and four wheels for me now.

Next: 1998+ BMW528i or 2004 Honda Accord Euro 6-speed. The former wins if I can find a 5-speed example. Otherwise the 140kW Four is also a lot of fun and bloody good value.

I have owned nine Mini's from a 1959 Autin Seven, through various Cooper Ss to the last of the fuel injected types. Fun to drive.

I currently own a 20 year old Porsche 924, I love it (so much maligned as "not a real Porsche"), cheap to buy, easy to maintain and great fun, plus it doesn't rust easily. Great to drive on bendy highland roads!

MacCoinnich - everyone knows all front engined, water pumping Porsches are the real deal. It's only those Uber Beetle types that try and have you think otherwise ;-)

Have fun!

Steve

Here's my list in reverse order from the present day with a star rating for enjoyment and general pleasure of ownership -

• 1995 BMW328iSE - 5star
  
• 1983 BMW528i - 4star
  
• 1982 Jaguar XJ6 - 2star
  
• Selection of company Cortinas etc. 1-3stars
  
• 1969 Triumph GT6 - 2star
  
• 1965 Mk1 Lotus Cortina SE - 5star
  
• 1966 Singer Chamois Sport - 3star
  
• 1959 AH Frog-eye Sprite - 4star
  
• 1955 Borgward Isabella - 3star
  

I wish I'd kept the Lotus Cortina and stuck it away in a garage. It would be a fun weekend car now! Presently saving up for a Porsche 993 Carrera2 Tiptronic Coupe.

A little something I built myself with a healthy 6.3 litre 420 bhp 425 lbs torque.

Two night rides (Pentlands last night, Devilla forest tonight) so far and I'm loving it, suits my type of riding perfectly. It's not quite so clean now though:



Possibly Glentress on Sunday (it's only half an hour away for me) then Yorkshire next week.

Does the Specialized have Fox shocks on each side in the rear?

Ludwig, who misses my Bridgestone "full stiffy"

Looking at the pix, that looks like a 2003 Epic...

check www.evanscycles.com for spec's. It looks a cracking bike to my eyes.

Steve - is it the badgers nadgers?

Nope, just the one with the funny sticky-uppy brain thing on top of it.

What is a "M4 alloy BRAIN optimised FSR frame"? Is this a metal matrix composite? If yes, what's the matrix and what's the reinforcement? And tell me about the BRAIN if you could. Thanks.

Looks killer!
