You'll need plenty of ACF50 to help combat that salty sea air!

No idea what I am.
I love looking at it and running the engine (a high revving inline 4, with carbs and a sports exhaust) 😊
I also love tinkering with it. I have a degree in mechanical engineering so like to get my hands dirty now and again. But I can't weld.
I also thoroughly enjoy a ride when it's dry, usually touring all across Europe. :-)
all good but I don't really fit into any of the above categories.
Basically I'm a weirdo.

Given the choice between riding in the pissing rain with a wind chill of -3C or the tube, I'll take the bike every time..!

All weather rider here except for snow and really heavy frost as done it before back when I was a teen on my old YB100 and it was not a nice experience. I really hate having to drive the car, it actually makes me quite depressed but that's probably more due to the fact that my car is a tiny 1.0 3 cylinder and gutless in the power department.

No it's a SEAT Mii, For what it is and what it's being used as at the moment rather than what it was designed for, it is a cracking car and cheap to run, but we need a big family car so we have gone out and ordered a new Skoda Fabia Estate which we will be picking up on 1st March can't wait, really fedup of having to borrow the old mans car whenever we need the boot space.

Fabia Estate ehh!

Plenty of room in them, there was a lot of jokes about the Skoda a few years back, but no ones laughing anymore.


The Fabia a great motor. Enough power, plenty of room.


One of my mates always had escort estates for years and years, he swore by them, until, On holiday he was given a Fabia saloon as a hire car, within 4 weeks of getting home both he and Penny (His Mrs) were both the proud owners of Fabias.

Take both wheel off the Fazer and I reckon it might go in the back of a Fabia Estate

We test drove one last week and we were hooked, the build quality was excellent and with the TSI engine it just pulled away with the greatest of ease and it's only the 1.2 with 90bhp.


I remember all the old stories about Skodas as when I was a wee nipper my auntie had one of the problem Skodas that was always going wrong, my cousins hid their heads in shame when their mum dropped them off at school in it  :lol

I think I might have to give that idea a miss at least until the car is a few years old, plus if I damaged the car the wife would kill me

I put Hardcore Commuter but I'm not out in all weathers. If the rescue helicopter's out, so is my car.

Option 1 is nearest the truth for me. My bikes are for being an irresponsible nutter on  - B-King for drag racing, Busa for high speed shenanigans and track days and Fazer for hooliganerooniness  :evil

 I'm a pensioner so should know better  :rolleyes

(Fairly) hard core commuter. Out in most weathers though draw the line at snow and ice. Coming home from a night shift (27 miles) in last week's gales were - ahem - an experience. Blown repeatedly across the road in 65mph+ gusts. At 4.30 AM Mrs Wharfe rings me at work and says "I'm really worried. Get a taxi home. I'll pay half" Oh right, just half? Is that all my life's worth love? Huh...

Oh and +1 for the Skoda thing. Love mine... (an Octavia estate)

My point exactly Sharpy - thinking that Tomski calling all Skoda drivers Wankers is a fair and valid point .
