MG Roadster got a real slating in the UK. We have a program called Top Gear and most of the owners weren't pleased with the shoddy workmanship. I thought VW were a sign of class, but no, I've had a few problems buying my car from new. Lexus now seem to hold the marque of distintion, even over Mercs and BM's, well they do in this country.

• The wipers won't work at > 120 km/h
• No gutter, so you can't open the windows a gap while raining (disadvantageous for smokers  :( )
• I need 5 km start-up to overtake a truck
• In winter, the door locks freeze; though you can open the doors, they won't close anymore. You have to hold your door manually while driving
• etc etc etc

Here are some advantatges in having a Motorbike: - you don't need to open the window when raining (they already haven't) so you can smoke as much as you want (providing that you have an integral helmet of course and always if you manage to keep the cigarrete dry) - Doors don't freeze in winter ! (the driver maybe...) - But finally: you need less than 1 meter start-up to overtake anything (always talking about a good bike of course!!)

I second that! In red, of course. :) Regards, Alvaro

Hmm damn that makes me a Maschocist because I use VB all the time (makes me a moron for admitting it as well, now I will be hated and reviled the Lounge Forum over ;) ) regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

Currently, I have a 1997 Ford Escort. That's all I could afford, being a starving college student at the time. I would love to replace it with a Chrysler 300M, but the student loans and mortgage payments have been taking a bit of a priority in my life, lately :-) On the other hand, a Mercedes-Benz E320 would be nice... Or I could really go for broke, and buy an S500! Okay, now that I'm done dreaming, reality has just hit me with a "clue-by-four"... ;-) -- Paul "I drank... WHAT?"

[Paul Watson]

lol I'll bet you never expected to get such a huge response to your post huh! From the looks of things we have the full gamut of "pocket protectors" taking the bus to work through to "balls of steel" ducatti and Ford drivers ;) Heh, people are almost as excited about cars on here as they are on Linux/Windows bashing. regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

I was also inferring a bit of disdain for the foreign cars that everyone seems to be listing. :)

[realJSOP]

By big, I mean not a Ranger/S-10/Tundra/et al. I wouldn't mind getting an F-350 4x4, but I really don't have a need for something like that. Besides, my wife drives the truck (the Buick and the bikes are mine).
