Cars and boats

Originally posted by Guest#260 Perhaps this time round rather than speculating over likley pairings we can name our own choices to see if there is any actual linkage ...

I unfortunately don't have a lot of choice in the matter. I drive a clio 1.9 Diesel as that is all i can afford. It was donated by my mates dad when i pranged my old car and I can't afford to buy anything else! She's a beauty though, does at least 10p a mile however she is driven, has the torque to tow a stacker, has looks most so called sports cars would kill for and she has rust..... perfect.

oh.... and i have a cherub (can't win 'em all eh?!)

Of course you have a choice ... everything in life is a choice (apart from health; and we can make significant choices over that) ... your current position is a function of the choices you have made to date; there are others who have made different choices and have perhaps different options.

There is no right & wrong but for sure there is plenty of choice in life ...

Bonezzi Contender-Morgan Plus Eight... scary, powerful, and the fact it's wood does not matter one iota

Wayfarer-Hummer H2-fat...slow, and heavy

Cherub-Caterham Seven...raced by enthusiasts every weekend, loads of carbon, fast but tiring, wander round the paddock/boatpark and no two look the same

RS600-Subaru Impreza...for fast, lairy, and oh look they're cheap now I think I'll get one...

18' skiff-TVR Tuscan...takes off like nothing on earth but be careful, it will either break or you will crash it

Laser-Saxo VTR...everyone's bloody got one.  Just add bass box/neons/spoilers/gorilla tiller/XD kit as approproiate and kid yourself you will now go faster than your mate

Solo-VW Golf GTi Mk1...similar to the Saxo above but older and far better

Flying Fifteen-Rover 75...'nuff sed...

Int Moth-Lotus Elise...both share the design philosophy "if you want to go fast add lightness"

Foiling Moth-Lotus Exige S...both loony speed versions of the original

Swift Solo-Westfield SEi...built from kits by people in sheds

Fireball-Land Rover 90...very old design, still looks the nuts as it's been updated...never breaks and will not stop no matter what conditions you throw at it

Merlin Rocket-Aston Martin DB9...very, very cool and owned by rich people

RS400-MGB Roadster...looks good but a lot of hard work for your fun and not actually that quick

Hobie cat-Vauxhall Monaro...big scary aussie that goes very quick but will eiother be flying a hull or going sideways

RS200-Toyota MR2 Mk2...quite easy to get out of shape in the corners

Wanderer-VW Bus...great for camping

Xenon/Omega/RS500-Avensis/Mondeo/Vectra...all look the bloody same to me

Oppie-Nova...we all had one...

Cheers!!

Alfa 145 Cloverleaf and Int Moth... Expensive to insure, painfull servicing, but both rather good fun...
