Virtuamobile here too. Love walking and running. Shops are only 15 minutes walk from where I live though, and the public transport is good, so a Virtuamobile is all I need.

Nah, I've just borrowed £10k for the Z3 (bugrit, you only live once etc etc). The other two predate Puppygames by quite a few years...

A bright yellow Skoda Octavia vRS (aka "Daddy's yellow car"). It is a lot of fun to drive, which is a necessity when you spend up to 2 hours a day in a car, and yet still remains practical as it has a huge boot (trunk).
Oh, and a Vauxhall Astra. Nowhere near as fast, but still practical.

Daewoo Matiz. Otherwise known as the rollerskate. It's tiny, made of tin, 3 cylinders, 900cc. Needs a 2 mile run-up to overtake anything though. People mock it but I don't care, it ain't no P3N15 substitute :p
Nah, I've just borrowed £10k for the Z3 (bugrit, you only live once etc etc). And you can always sell off bits of it for food as the need arises :D

I've got a year old Celica T-Sport. Next car will be a TVR cerbera or similar.
No, indie development didn't pay for it! Yes, I have a small penis! :)

2000 Honda Civic EX - I now wish I'd bought something cheaper that had more than 2 doors.

I have a licence, but cant afford a car just yet.
then again, why buy a car when you can freely use your parants?
they used to have 307, which was fantastic, now its the new Mazda3 :D

I have a 2002 Honda Interceptor (VFR 800), but i thought the thread was about cars? :P

Well yeah, but cars are bloody boring aren't they :) I can't believe cliffski's bought a 307 with his own blood! Should've got a Z4!
I had a VFR800 from brand new but it was so boring I sold it after 3 months :(

It's my first bike, so I dont have anything to compare it with. It seems pretty fast to me, and It's a great allround bike. Comfortable enough to go on road trips, fast enough to be fun.
princec
06-24-2004, 01:11 PM
It's a brilliant first bike, if a little scarily fast for a first bike... I got bored of it because it was too perfect. It just did nothing wrong.

That would explain the, um..., character of Alien Flux then :)
I drive a Civic and was thinking of getting an Alfa 147. Then the house become, thanks to my gf, so know I'm spending the money on the house - much wiser investment anyway, at least round here.
As regards bikes our family are total bike fanatics. My dad + uncles have owned tons of bikes. My dad's current one is the Honda SP1. We're all great Honda fans - Rossi kicked ass in MotoGP on Honda - pity he went with Yamaha. My family is ashamed of me however because I once admitted that I wouldnt mind getting my hands on a nice, red 998...

Doesn't take long in the UK to go off sports bikes... you even go to prison for doing over 130 now. Bugger that! Get a bike that can't do 130!
