Cars and bicycles, what sort of cyclist ?

[longun]

I choose my cars on the following...

1, Wife would not be seen dead in it.
2, Kids dont fit in it
3, they are fast enough to scare me shitless on occasion.

An added rule this time, it had to have at least 500bhp per tonne and be fast enough to get me to work before i got out of bed.

sounds like the perfect sales pitch to me

I guess I just like something a little different to the norm, I would hate to drive around in a modern soulless euro box everyday, just as I really don't fancy riding the current mountainbike equivalent.
If necessary I will go out of my way to ensure that this doesn't happen.
Sometimes it's good to be different, not wacky or eccentric, just different.

It's also a self-selecting group.

I've given up being interested in cars. I used to love hot Minis (we are talking 1960's Cooper S etc). Too costly, nowhere to drive them, take up loads of space, blah blah.

So I've never bothered posting my car as you'd all yawn. It's a domestic appliance.

...Can anyone else see any pattern here, or am I just over analysing again ?

I don't know about any pattern. I bought one car to carry my dog around and another car for my girl.
I think there are a thousand reasons to buy cars but a bike doesn't come to my mind when i go out to buy a car.
I also think that the really real cyclist (which exludes me for sure) doesn't really want to buy any car at all.

I also have a useable every day bike and a land rover that matches

I think "over analysing" again silverclaws

Same here - my rallying days are over (far too expensive), I don't have a 4x4 anymore (fewer and fewer places to use them and also too expensive when you break them) so all my off-road stuff is done on two wheels now and, until I decide to get another trials bike, under my own steam.

I've never been into cars (on the road) other than as transport, which is why my wife and I share a 17 year old Mk3 Golf (well, that and the fact that we have no money) - it does the job..... :roll:

But then, you can't have everything - we chose to buy a house in Greece and spend a decent amount of time out there rather than buying a flash new car every couple of years, like plenty of people do.
I know which I'd rather have anyway....
