Each to their own of course but for me it has to be classics.

all of the above,,, but at the moment I own one 1991 bike and one 1989 austin mini, and Mark has an audi A6 and 3 newer bikes and an old C90

If i could own any car it would be a 1969 mustang or a 1972 charger mmmmm and for mark it would be a lotus exige and bikes for me would be a blackbird or Sprint ST (which mark already has) and Mark it would be something very expensive and pretty ( and large in numbers)

The 72 Charger were the weaker engined of the models and way too sluggish for any fun

Oh my god! A lady with a fabulous body who loves muscle cars and bikes! I have a Sprint ST too as I couldn't justify a Blackbird and was scared my license wouldn't stay clean as I have very little self control (throttle that is,lol).

Mrs tried a bike but packed it in when she realised she preferred being a pillion.

I have a mix - my newest two vehicles are 2004 and 2005, both bought brand new, but the oldest is from 1954 and they range from 50s through to 1990s. I have something from every decade apart form the 1970s (and that's only cos I sold the 1970s vehicles.

My preference is three wheels over two or four though ...

Always Cars - some new some old - my first car was a 1967 Triumph Herald and that was just a fantastic little car - tiny engine but with rally suspension and rear wheel drive made for excellent low speed roundabout fun in the wet!

I've had a couple of Triumph Heralds over the years, a great fun little car those. I also had a GT6 Mark 1, lord knows why I sold that, GT6s are fantastic! What else? A few Rover P6s, both 4 cylinder ones and V8s, the V8 manual was nice, it showed a few boy racers up! Triumph Dolomites are another favourite, a Sprint will leave an Escort RS2000 standing..

I agree with Cali on V Twin bikes, my first bike was an SV650

Have a look on the tinterweb for a 72 charger owned by musician called Kenny Wayne Shepherd, truly stunning example of a later Charger. It's featured in Popular Hot Rodding's January issue.

He won't sell Mr Dogger, we have all tried, he even once said he would sell it, my friend went round with the 500 quid a couple of years ago, but he changed his mind, great shame.

I would like an Austin Healey 3000 or a Wolseley 6/110. And going the modern direction it would have to be a Holden SS Ute. I`m normally not a bike person but if I could guarantee a nice country route with good weather, no other traffic and no gnats or other insects flying about, then a nice British twin cylinder bike of around the 250cc capacity would be nice! Not looking to tear along, just a steady potter and take in the view!

And for everyday use it`s got to be a brand spankers new Land Rover Defender!

Holden ute is a good call

For a bike I would choose a Harley to plod about on, a Yamaha XJR1300 for retro looks and modern performance and just for shits and giggles a RD 350 LC.

Most anything with wheels. Ive had capri's a v6 chevette, fd victor with a rover v8, split screen minor with a rover v8,71 mustang 391gt notchback, z28 camaro and an iroc z. Then the usual 16v's, golf , audi80 sport, calibra, manta blah blah blah. Then i met a right tart n concentrated on mad sex lol.

But we share a passion for bikes, which ran alongside my passion of cars but now takes precident. Nit even going to attempt to list any of them here. I find beuty in most things mechanical. And the wife of course

cars, anything thats reliable. would love a classic, but cant really afford a toy and need a car capable of 500+ miles a week with no problems.

bike: prefere mid aged (mid to late 90's)

hate the old box shaped sports bikes, but also the new generation as they all look the same.

D model zzr1100 or blackybird would be my fave, other than a jap custom

Cars.. but would love to ride a Harley sometime! bit of a cliche, but hey!!

I love my old 96 C class Mercedes (It's got 150,000 on the clock, burns oil and the bodywork is showing it's age, but the only way it's going to die is if I take it to the yard to be crushed).

When I can afford it, this would be my ultimate upgrade..

It might have just been restorable to an expert, the rumours at the time was that it was scrapped for the V6 lump.
