Well we got a "Bike Porn" thread which i have to say is brill imo so why not have a car one as well. This British made TVR Tuscan was/is imo an absolute beauty, it was launched in 2000 with a list price of circa 40K GBP and to acquire an excellent condition one today will set you back in excess of 30K GBP. In its day it was a real head turner and the exhaust sound was far better than any stereo sound system you might want to hear, most owners chose the exhaust lol
I don't quite know why i did'nt get one when i retired and had all the time to play around/enjoy one, it was capable of 180mph if ya had the balls to do it. Like all TVR's it had a bad rep for reliability but to the fervent owners that was a price worth paying to own and drive such a beauty at a relatively affordable price. If i was living in the UK now i would get one as a last throw of the dice.
I drove one of these back in the day, loved it, no TC or ABS though, proper drivers car

Yeh, you can't be an Audi interior. The TTRS is a bit special.... R8s are great value at the moment but still a lot of money...

That sounds like a good retirement plan. Don’t burn your bridges back home.- 1

For me, it didn't get better than the bikes I owned. The gixxer was unreal! 178 bhp it weighed 165kg. Capable of 0-62mph in 2.35 seconds. The mighty K5 1000.
Loved my fireblade too. A bit tamer but you were in control. Silky smooth ride. The gixxer was like riding a bull, you fought to control the power.
Great bikes. Lethal in the wrong hands.
That K5 is a bit special...

Sounds like fun, must have been mental with the tune . I wrote mine off.... Been looking at the custom RGV500s...As you say big money.... Can't beat that 500 engine, my best bike ever,, although my RGV is a very special bike too...They go for serious money now,up to 20 grand for a minter.Crashed mine 3 times and blew it up twice.Had it rebuilt and tuned by Dave Goddard.Still my favourite bike i have ever owned.

Hi guys,
Visited Thailand first in 1990. Been a regular visitor ever since.
I live in the UK, long term plan is to be in Thailand during our winter months, then go home to regain my sanity during our summers...
Thailand is certainly a very different place to what it was in 1990 but I still enjoy my visits and try not to compare to the good old days....
