sounds just the type of car Penfold will be up for buying....
Already got my next car lined up, next on the list is 2 wheels
Raleigh Burner?
No..
great little car, there was a red/orange one on its roof friday night at the top of my road the guy was out of the car but didnt look best pleased.... quite a few cars end up in that garden one way or another.
Dawn had one of these, she loved it. I must admit, i liked it too, very slow compared to what I've had but it made it up in the handling. They're a ''chuckable'' car.

Showing my age but my mate bought a 106gti brand new back in the day, in black actually. For what they are they're pretty good. Handling is supposed to be really good, we were smoking about in 205gti's at the time and the 106 was a big step forward... At that time
Something like this... Myself & charlotte are looking to get one each... Hence the 5 up for sale & most likely the 21 when my other car is ready
On the plus side she is already talking of doing an European Tour on the bikes, Spa & The ring has been mentioned
Lucky man my mrs won't let me go near her ring
Me neither..Lucky man my mrs won't let me go near her ring
The ring has been mentioned
the ring on a ped... no thanks... u must be mental!
Believe me I wouldn't ride it, just go there take in the atmosphere and enjoy the local roads/views... Seen enough bikers go down at the ring, that don't appeal to methe ring on a ped... no thanks... u must be mental!
i was gonna say, i'd never dream of taking my bike round the ring, too many corners, not to mention cars! lolBelieve me I wouldn't ride it, just go there take in the atmosphere and enjoy the local roads/views... Seen enough bikers go down at the ring, that don't appeal to me
bikes are awesome though...
If there is a no bling 2013 lined up and you go on the bikes, I'd go on my 2 wheels to keep you company ChrisSomething like this... Myself & charlotte are looking to get one each... Hence the 5 up for sale & most likely the 21 when my other car is ready
