and here she is over the weekend, 9 years later...

inside shot of some mods, including SCION stereo...

nice panther tank(a true rarity).....but i still prefer my 1976 kawasaki Z1000ltd with the modified carbs,ram air system and kerker drag pipe or the 2001 harley davidson low-rider with stage 1 tuning,screaming eagle pipes and filter set-up and was lowered even more by europes #1 h-d dealer black bear...very low and very quick(for a harley)...the pipes are great(double backfires when throttle shut quick;and also spits flames from bottom pipe) next time i have money it will get the fat wheel rear conversion and a set of upside down forks but it's an ongoing process that i'm in no hurry with)....reasons for buying both?...loud enough to piss neighbours off!!.....i own no cars (drive for a living) bikes are my freedom and therapy......THINK BIKE when driving 4 wheel cages folks,peace

Well I was wondering about the engine, and I think you've got yourself a "Triton" there me dear old thing. Triumph 650cc ? engine, Norton 'Dom. frame. A classic anyway, but it needs the clip on handlebars to complete thats why the tanks profiled. Or is the back a bit ancient for those Stoned?

10yr old citroen xsara. gets me me from A to MJ

. I only started driving properly this year, so it does me. However, if the numbers come up anytime soon, it'll morph into a black 911 turbo.

'85 Toyota Land Cruiser. I posted some pix a couple years back. 10mpg, so I only take it on adventures.

Here is my view from the driver's seat. This was the steepest trail I've been on yet. Really tight too.

Have a Renault Clio 1.6 Dynamique, it's a battered old warhorse but it shifts when you push it! Haven't really looked after it so not worth taking pics of.

Also have a Suzuki SJ410 for the weekends, not road legal, only used off road, but such great fun. It's been rolled over more times than our lass and still going on strong.
