on the subject of boats and bike's i think my little scooter is very similar to a cherub

loud, short, made with superglue, had carbon weave on it even if it is a sticker, also it can be updated with new exhaust just like u guys upgradeing ur sails etc,also the chavs have got very good and breacking them/building them again!!

My main transport has always been a bike, and I've moved from Cherubs to Canoes. Less horsepower and a lot less weight and size has always appealed to me. As the sticker went:-

"Your other car may be a Porsche, but my bike will p**s on that too."

As for 4 wheeled things, whatever has a towbar does me. The most I've ever spent n a car is 200 quid.

yer have been teaching little kiddies how to sail.    means i can buy some more boat goodies for the 4tonner.

wouldnt it be funny it someone had a farrai or something equally fast and got a tow bar and had to scream along at 60 with the boat on the back!!

Oh and by the way guys Luke has been teaching sailing all week so hasnt had acess to a pc recentely. But we either tow the 4k with a mondeo or a Vauxhall cavalier. Boat and cars both average performance but a lot of boat/car for your money's worth.

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 ...

Blimey, that's a bit deep for such a shallow thread See my signature

Mybe a UR Quattro, but they are as rare as Rocking horse poo !  I14's are not

I've got an Impreza WRX.  Goes like stink, kick in the back acceleration and will bite you if you get it wrong; Very nimble around the corners and a Joy in Snow.

My Inter 17 is not quite so nimble around the corners and I don't like sailing in the Snow.  Otherwise very similar

Nah mate, the Reliant is a proper hand lay up chop strand job, where the Feva is rotomoulded...

you dont know how rong you are. the reliant wont go round corners at speed. the feva doesnt break easily either, all the reliants ive seen have been falling apart. and fevas arent outdated lumps of rust.

My turbo diesel Ford Focus doesn't really go with my B14, but you can squeeze a B14 main in it (right down the passenger footwell, touching the back window!)

Laser II / Ford Cortina - used to be loads of them about, now you hardly ever see one.

or,

Osprey / VW Beetle - good old classic, recently re-vamped, new model not so popular with original owners
