So Roy's garage looks like:

1) A car
2) VBH

You've still got 3 spaces left to fill.

Or perhaps you need the room...

1) NCC-1701


2) NCC-1701 A


3) NCC-1701 C


4) NCC-1701 D


5) NCC-1701 E


I've purposely discounted NCC-1701 B because it's vulgar and ugly.

Steve G,

I'm not sure why its "lefty, pinko" to want good buses. Does this mean destroying the planet with petrol guzzling sports cars designed to compensate for fragile male egos is an exlucsively right wing thing?

The de Kerf is so gorgeous that its best appreciated through a picture of just the frame. To build it into a complete bike, I would continue the Canadian theme and go with Synchros, Race Face, etc.

There was a bike in one the mags a couple of months back I though looked rather cute, although I seem to recall it cost about £3,500 or so. Can't recall the name though.

1. Ferrari 250 GTO
2. Ferrari 355 GTB Manual
3. Impreza P1
4. 911 Carrera RS
5. Audi RS6 Estate (for load lugging)

Colnago C-40 with a record group springs to mind. The 'Ferrari' I could afford

I'm a bit of a lefty, pinko, commie bast, and I do like good buses (I'll be on one in about an hour). But I'm also keen on destroying the planet with petrol guzzling sportscars.

What am I (apart from a tosser)?

BTW no one really believes that sportscars compensate for fragile male egos do they ?

Just for the record, I do have a fragile male ego, and an unusually small penis, but I think that's just coincidence.

And Joe, where's the effing wheels ?

Regards,

Brian OReilly

Wheels? In the 25th century? How quaint...

You live in Munich though, which has a very good public transport system. I lived on the eastern edge of the city (in Haar) and public transport from there to the city centre was superb.

I suspect I'm pining for another Christmas there - I brought a Stollen and some Lebkuchen into the office today! You'll just have to have a Gluhwein in Marienplatz for me...

I was going to post pics of my favourite cars but truth is I don't have a favourite car. In fact, it's fair to say I don't give a rat's arse about cars.

The wifey and I reluctantly bought a subcompact two years ago and only because Lexington's public transport system is utterly useless. Otherwise, we would have been content walking or riding the bus like we did for the 35 years before we moved to the U.S. of eh.

It hasn't worked right since the disastrous M5 wargames.

Joe - just how big is your garage??

Oooh - nice. And only £699 as well (I just missed a used one for £200 a couple of weeks back). In a fantasy garage I might have considered a Delite for touring duties but the Dawes is the traditional choice.

Regards
Steve

I think the Galaxy frame is a bit heavier than needed unless you do a lot of high-load touring.
I use a much lighter Raleigh frame in the summer, and a mountain bike in the winter. The garage also contains two old Dawes and about a hundred kids bikes, along with all my hifi cardboard boxes.

The Saab has to live on the fantasy driveway.

If money is no object then why only five cars??

1, Aston Martin Vantage, English class at its best!!


2 Ferrari 550 Marinello, the best Italy can offer.


3 Toyota Supra, customised to 900 BHP sheer stupidity and fun.

4 Range Rover V8 for practicality and taking the family out.

5 Noble GT12 convertable, cos it looks good!!

Regards,


NB

Ferrari "Enzo Ferrari" (2002)
Ferrari Dino 246 GTB
Bugatti
Ferrari GTO (1967)
Mini Cooper 998 (1968) - (already have)

Just five?...

In my current mood and in no particular order

1. BMW 507 Ragtop
2. Ferrari Dino
3. Ferrari 550 Maranello
4. BMW E34 Alpina Bi-Turbo
5. TVR Tuscan R

"Hi-fi is ok, but its nothing like the real thing..."

The new Audi RS6 Quattro, I wish I had a spare 58 grand in my pocket!!


Would I love to get my hands on one!!!


Regards

NB

But I'd like space for the following

1. Ferrari 250LM - still the only real Ferrari!
2. Healey 3000 (Red/Cream) - in full works rally trim.
3. Porsche 911 Carrera 4 - for everyday use.
4. Golf GTi - for shopping.
5. 1923 Bentley open tourer (BRG) - for effortless posing.

I'd also like a lease on Jeremy Clarkson's airfield to drive them round

You'd have to be one sad puppy for a Toyota Prius to make it into your fantasy garage.

But only if I can drive it over Jeremy Clarkson's fat head.
