Modern Vespa

I dunno, Karen, that purple thing two posts up ain't very soft on the eyes. Cool? mmmm

At least it your dodge aint a Grandadmobile Camry!

04 VW touareg

08 VW GTi

Those are fun. My brother has an Innocenti also. Wiring is crap, it leaks, and has carb problems all the time, but is a blast to drive. He also has a RHD NZ Mini, and a 62 Austin 850...they are surprisingly reliable compared to the innocenti

In keeping with only having wierd stuff in my garage (well wierd as deemed by the average boring joe) my car is a Saab 9-5 Aero. 4cyl economy, V8 performance, 3500lb towing capacity, and you hardly see them on the road...downside? maintenance is balls expensive...

Hi,

Well, I'm primarily a Car Guy, the GT200 is just for fun, but since buying it Memorial Day wknd., I've put 1950 mi. on the Vespa and less than 150 mi. total on my Toy cars, not counting 2 vintage races I ran this summer in the race cars.

Daily Drivers are: 2005 Jaguar S-Type (hers) and a '95 Honda Passport 5-spd. 4X4 (mine). I office from home and my wife travels in excess of 280 days/yr., so these don't get too much use.

Toy cars include a 1985 Lotus Turbo Esprit (always wanted a 'Bond' car - 36k mi.), a 1970 Datsun 240Z (original owner w/ 23k mi.), a 1999 Porsche Boxster (orig. owner - 26k mi.) as well as a 1990 Protoform Formula Vee and a Swift DB1 Formula Ford racecars.

My fathers oldsmobile

'06 Dodge Dakota Crewcab-14mpg city. That's why it sits at home most of the time.
'01 Mazda 626
'01 Ford Focus Wagon

Does this mean that I get my official 'Burb' badge?

In addition to my '07 Vespa GTS250

- '88 Honda NT650 Hawk GT
- '90 Honda NT650 Hawk GT
- '87 Honda XL600R
- '05 GMC Yukon XL 2500 Quadrasteer w/ LBZ Duramax Diesel conversion, running Biodiesel at 26 mpg (gotta haul 3 kids somehow)
- '03 VW Passat W8 Wagon 6-speed Sport Package (the Mrs.' Sled)
- '96 Subaru Impreza 2.2L 5-Door Wagon (My 'ole Beater)
- Kendon Dual Rail Cycle Trailer

--Nothing is left stock. Gotta mod them.

I have a hard time selling my old bikes and stuff.

-P.

Sorry, it has leather. You should have said pleather

I have an '02 VW Jetta turbo diesel, so when it's not scootin' weather I have to give up my 70Mpg for a mere 45. Blasted.

I used to be a car guy, then the scooters came along and got me hooked. I used to have a 4 cars sitting at my house including my 79 Chev Monza that had a 327, 4-speed, and a bunch of lightweight fiberglass body parts. Fast and fun, but was taking money away from my scooters.

Now Im down to two (sensible) cars and have 4 scooters. I really dont have aspirations any more to have super nice / fast cars...I want fast scooters

I have a 1990 vw gti with over 200k miles on her
and still running. My first mod addiction
also have a 2006 bmw 330i that sits most of
time in the garage. weekend car
oh, and two Hondas', 98 crv and a 96 civic
My grocery haulers.

Wasp, I did a double-take on your first photo--believe it or not, I've been to what I think is the same dealer to pick up a yellow Maserati! A friend bought it on eBay and I flew to Denver with him to pick it up and drive back to California.

My car...




But in REALITY...

The wife drives an '07 Toyota Prius while the cat sleeps on top of my '99 Honda Accord...(as much as I ride the GTV, the Accord is practically a permanent fixture in my garage.)

How are you liking your 3? I bought a 3 hatch with the 2.3 in July and have been extremely happy with it thus far. Monza helped me wire it for trailer lights and my hitch gets installed on Wednesday just in time for the last rally I'll be going to this year.

Cool! I recognize you're Swift at Mid-Ohio entering the "esses"

My daughter bought that as a replacement for her Miata. She loves it. She says you can fit an entire dorm room's worth of stuff in it. She's 5'1" and says there are no blind spots. She is very happy with it.

MB Westminster; It was the only photo I had that was small enough to attach here.

Nice color!

I moved from my old place to the new one mostly using my car. They are quite capacious, and the hatch even more so with the rear seats folded forward.

When she was looking at the sedan, I was oogling at the Mazdaspeed hatch in black, until I realized that's pretty much what I already have. No wonder I liked it so much!

same as my GTS I only drive...........con emozione

My Alfa 156 GTA 3.2 V6




My wife's Lancia Ypsilon in scale 1:24. No picture of her real life black scale 1:1

Small world! Hope you're enjoying your yellow beauty!

I'd like to eventually get a VentureOne. That's kind of like a car, right? It's got a windshield wiper.. that's car-like..

fly the road

A 2006 Tiburon. Black, of course. I looked at a lot of cars, but I found these were just plain fun!

(I haven't had a toy car since I sold my Volvo 1800E, and I have no time for a new one now, either. )

BMW 335i Coupe

2006 VW Rabbit, very fun to drive but I wish I had more time to drive my Vespa!

I carpool with my wife in our Citroën C5 Break (station)



And for fun we have a 1982 Citroën 2CV completely restored.

The wife mainly drives it now, but we've shared a 2004 Saturn L300 for the past 1.5 years. Prior to that was her 98 Ford Escort.

Before insurance totalled it I had a Maroon 1987 4 banger Ford Mustang Hatchback...

I loved that car!

In December I'm picking up a '86 Alfa Spider. right now I have no car just the GTS. My wife has the BMW Cooper. She doesn't like me driving it and she won't be driving the Alfa.

No... not because she's a woman. She can't drive a stick and doesn't really want to learn

1998 Jeep Wrangler, if it werent for the fact that I dont always have the option of flying and that I need to go 440 miles relatively quickly at least once a month then Id just use the GTS,...but thats not how my life works...for now anyway..........

Jeep Gr Cherokee, Benz CLK convertible, BMW R1100R with sidecar if that counts?

Mine are listed in my signature. I am also working on convincing my wife to let me buy a GT500 Shelby Mustang.

Besides the Vespa we have a Corvette and an Aerostar. The Vespa is my winter project. I plan on repainting it Candy Apple Red, it was my wife's scoot as a youngster and before we left Italy in '05 I had the 80cc kit done and all of the mechanicals overhauled. Just need to pretty it up

Me: 2003 New Beetle Turbo S
Wife: 2006 Scion xB
For fun: our Vespa's of course, but also a 1966 restored VW Type 1. aka Beetle

No Vespa yet, but probably soon since I've gotten away from riding this





in favor of driving this





And then there's the beater Pathfinder...

1995 Audi S6 Avant

Hi,

YEP - Good Eye! I drove all night to get there for the SCCA Valvoline Runoffs.

I was actually in 1st place when that pic was taken - Lap 6 (the lead car in the pic had actually cut the corner (as evidenced by the flying dust in the pic) and was forced to do a Pit & Go, placing me in 1st. But, I blew a tire on Lap 11, forced to Pit and came out 12th. I managed to claw back to 3rd when the Flag dropped - that's why they call it Racing...

Happy Motoring!... Jim

Hey,

Nothing wrong with that. It's not a contest, or a Loyalty Oath - no reason we cannot enjoy them both...

Happy Motoring!... Jim

MX-5 NC 2.0

This picture was taken on the "Col de Turini" last week, famous stage in the Monte Carlo Rally and WRC rallies.

Just traded my 2006 Corolla in on this 2007 Tacoma, which I love!

I wasnt implying that it was a contest or such. I was simply saying that I used to be a car guy until I got hooked on the scooter drug. I totally respect a garage full of cars as much as a garage full of scooters...especially that Esprit Turbo...gotta love that crazy hp/l output on that Isuzu engine
