I drive a Scion tc. It's great because it's a much bigger sized 4-cyl engine than usual. It runs like a 6-cyl but gets gas mileage and insurance rates that the 4-cyl do.

My car is a Pug' 406 D9 diesel , 2litre, none turbo. It's a 90bhp version, but seems extremely lively for such a big car with a fairly low powered engine. It's an ex-police car though (a pool fleet car, not traffic division), which makes me wonder if it might have been re-mapped.

My daily drive at work is this,

A Mercedes Actros 2548, which I drive back and forth between Scotland and Germany or Switzerland weekly.

My toy is this,

A 1980 Honda CB 900 FB.
Not a retro bike, but one of the bikes that retro style bikes are supposed to look like

That is one hell of a nice looking 29 year old bike. you have certainlky gotten your money's worth out of it if you bought it new. Of course it isn't a Harley.............. LOL

Thanks Bubba.
Happily I'm not so old that my reactions have slowed enough for me to need to downgrade to a Harley, yet

.

I didn't buy it new, but as I can afford it, or have to, I've been sorting out all the little problems.
It looked more or less like that when I bought it. It's all the butchering you can't see which I've been doing.
It's actually a hybrid. It left Honda's factory as a 750 FA.
A previous owner upgraded it to a 900 FB by fitting the bigger engines top end and oil cooler. They also fitted the FB air assisted front end and twin pot brake callipers all round.
The 750s and 900s all had the same frame and engine bottom end.
There were many shared parts across a years bike range, unfortunately I don't know which bits came from which bike/year. That's caused many problems

.
It passes it's annual roadworthiness test every year though.
It still does 0 - 60mph in --- 'hell, I'm over the ton'

(licence loser, in UK)
And stops just as well

what do you think of the actros? my uncle sometimes drives an actros and it seems much better built and and more comfortable than the mack tridents and metro-liners he normally drives.

I suppose I'm the only one with something really boring, but I've just bought a Nissan Note Acenta - brand new - all black. There's only 3 of us and I get the train to work so we don't do that much mileage. Traded in a 3 year old Almera SX - only had 22,000 miles on the clock. What I really like is the Bluetooth and mp3 connection...
