New summer toy. What have you all got?

Recommended Posts

Finally got my Rocket all sorted and ready for the nice weather (and the lockdown to end).  Got me thinking, what does everyone else have, I know quite a few of you have motorbikes (got rid of mine a few years back) and the Rocket is a similar(ish) sort of experience

Here’s my current fleet:

 

’04 350

’72 Phoenix Trike (Tuned VW Bus Flat Four)

’86 Suzuki Intruder VS700 (Acquired from my wife’s late uncle)

 

Although trike is currently for sale and bike is taking a bit more work than planned chasing electrical gremlins as it was sat for about 4 years.

Had a drive in an Elise last summer before a friend sold it. Can only imagine what that things like to drive.

 

I get torn between what to drive/ride when the sun's out.

The Zed for driving to work... And weekends away with the other half,

Yamaha Fazer thou when I feel like going quick,get bored of cars or fancy a road trip with mates. (The picture is of a Scottish summer!)

Series 3 Land Rover for living the slow life. I spend a lot of time fixing it and taking it to car shows, also like to go Laning a couple of times a year of I can.

 

Always see Zeds when I'm not in mine or other Landys when I'm in the Zed... just look like the crazy guy smiling and waving for no reason!

Summer toys is juggling between the Zed and the bike. Not bothered to take the Zed of SORN yet, not much point when it can only b used to go to work ad the shops. I was hoping to sell it to get a new summer toy but given the current climate I don't think it will happen this summer.

Love the Landy: :#1:

She's 50 years old this year, hiding her age well till you get behind the wheel. 

 

An engine swap is on the cards soon as it's currently got the standard 2.3L diesel with around 50bhp from new (they recon you lose one a year so...).

A 200tdi is the easiest way to go and it keeps its tax exemption status. Just waiting for one to come up at a sensible price.

Spent the winter getting this pocket rocket ready for the coming sprint/hill climb season.

An old cup was following me a couple of weeks ago on my way home, it was completely stripped and had a cage fitted.

 

He overtook me and the car infront coming up to a roundabout and the thing had 0 body roll. Haven't seen anything corner like that before!

My sig gives it away but cannot describe how painful its been looking out the window at the VX with all this sunshine! As soon as we are allowed out to play again its roof off and fingers crossed the summer doesn't let us down.

I have a fender at home, got it as an engagement present, signed up for lessons, then proceeded to break my left hand playing football when living in Paris - was a lovely accident, snapped my pinky and wedding ring finger completely backwards, it was hurting to I grabbed hold of them and snapped them back straight, they made a very loud cracking noise so got back on the train to a hospital near my apartment, 2 hours there, before an ambulance arrived to take me to another hospital - wherein they stopped at a cashpoint for me to draw money out to pay them for the trip - before finally getting to a hospital that could treat me and finally getting pain killers about 3 1/2 hours after the initial accident.

 

Anyway in short, I have a guitar, the scar tissue on my left hand makes it hard to play, mines in the loft :lol:

MEV looks cool, whats the spec? I was lucky enough to drive a 400hp (Audi turbo lump) one round Spa, absolutely insane vehicle but kept hitting the limiter in every gear :lol:

 

Still need to get my 2ZZ MR2 back on the road, in the meantime Ive got to put up with smoking around in this old Fiat:

It’s running a ford Zetec  2.0 with throttle bodies. Around 180bhp so not the quickest but certainly enough to have fun. Can only imagine what 400bhp would be like in one
