Won't matter if I drop it getting the arse to slide out at my local roundabout.

How rude.

Yours looks like a Hippo bag full of rubble in comparison to the beauty my Ducati.

That thing looks as bad as Ogr1's pisspot but at least they had the decency to try & cover some of the scaffolding :p

Anyway what's wrong with proper shaped engines eg 4 in a line across the frame as god & mr honda intended?, only a real weirdo would want a big lump of fast moving metal aimed at their nuts :couch:

We are taking what will not be the last foray into the excellence that the German automotive industry has pumped out over the years.

The original BMW. 8 Series looks as good today from any angle as it did when launched in 1989. Not as fast as it looks but both the V8 and V12 versions provide swift, luxurious and refined motoring.

Comparatively expensive in its day compared to Mercedes's equivalents it was not a big seller. With just over 30,000 built this is a relatively rare car that is appreciating in value.

And here's me thinking someone who worked on houses would appreciate a bit of scaffolding. :abrazo:

I was following one of those on the motorway a few years ago and couldn't believe the size of the rear tyres.
Probably not so unusual these days but back then they looked like formula 1 rubber..!

As I won't be around Tuesday morning here is tomorrow's offering.

Continuing our meander round car producing countries I present the Citroen SM, often mistakenly called the 'Citroen Maserati'. While some models had the motor out of Maserati Bora, the Maserati connection refers to Citroen 's purchase of Maserati shortly prior to the launch of the SM.

Less than 9000 produced, all in fastback form. A few coachbuilders developed 'shooting brake' versions, the best of which is in the final photo below.

Even with the Bora engine the SM only had around 180bhp. However, the use of pneumatics and hydraulics in virtually every aspect of the car produced a gloriously smooth ride, certainly the most comfortable car I have ever ridden in.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder on this one, I love it.

Another very rare car and an appreciating classic.

Can someone please take the keyboard off Mr Beaker NOW!.....Please.
Correct his over enthusiastic automobile postings, as i feel abused and confused.
It has inflicting interests against my constitutional rights as a motorcyclist within a motorcycle forum.
I may have to walk to work for the rest of the week and leave my jelly mould car at home.
Many thanks in advance.

I think you mean 'conflicting'.

And you seem to be in the mistaken belief that this is a democracy.

Either way....it ain't happening:)
