This steed has various roles - depending on which other car or bike is on/off the road: weekend fun/track car, daily driver, long-distance mile eater, and dog car.
Also a '93 Laser (which won't die (250k kms) and is a hoot to thrash around mountain roads). It usually does all the mundane stuff.
Found elsewhere on the 'net: a person with good motoring taste. Oh btw the vehicle on the left is an R1200S BMW.

Noticed today first signs of head gasket failure.

Now see that's what's always put me off a two seater sports convertible, there always seems to be couples of a certain age in them
At least on a bike the helmet hides the advancing years

Not at all,at our age you are lucky if you are still wiping your own arse,so driving a sports car & riding bikes is a bonus.

Who said anything about 2 seater convertibles
More like a VR6 Golf or a 3-2 Litre Audi A3---Reality is Old Bones can't get into an SLK or Audi TT/BMW Z3
(we have tried
)

Here's my four wheel alternative over the last four years ..
Which means of course that when it snows, I'm sharing Jenny's - the family car...
Sadly the blue one was sold last month pending my departure to Trinidad.
and before anyone comments on the Chelsea tractor, I have to say it is a mighty fine 4x4, and of all our vehicles it gets used the most ....
