I have a '57 Astra estate (1.8 design) which is nice to drive sometimes.

I also have use of the parents '99 Cali import Disco V8 and occasionally mums '75 MGB.

Apart from my S2a I have a 1987 Mazda 323 1.6 GTX Turbo and a Toyota Celica GT4 ST205

Also drive the wifes fiesta if I am feeling like an economy mode day - which is not very often I have to admit!

Just the series 3.... and my push bike that is ****ed! Needs putting in the bin and replacing. Never felt right since i had a big crash on it last year!

Need the money for one of those Land Rover bikes... In bright orange

rustyrhinos · Oct 13, 2009

Save you money and get a decent bike - the Land Rover ones are not exactly brilliant! Take their Vorbano 2009 - 28lb for a hard tail carbon framed bike? Who on earth is going to buy that. Unless its jsut for the LR badge.

As for push bikes, I mainly ride a Coyote Easton HT5 Ultralite with XTR, carbon bits blah blah.

If we are talking bikes then mine an elderly Orange Sub 3, with quite old XTR 8 speed, reverse rise - (what ever happen to that? I thought it was brill) Middleburn, Hope etc.

How much does it weigh in at? Mine is now at 19.8 pounds which I think is quite light.

Dunno, but I'll weigh it this afternoon.

Certainly lighter than (bearing in mind this is a 12 years old frame) anything in JEJames (Chesterfield) last year that was less than £600 ... RRP on mine was originally £745, bearing in mind the better technology of today ...

I got it from Dyna-Tech direct for £300 'cos I was making them some Ti parts for their team MTB's at the time ..

rustyrhinos · Oct 13, 2009

Sounds like a good deal you got there

free2go · Oct 13, 2009

I've got the Disco ES Auto. The LHG has a Renault Scenic :hysterically_laughi. Hence the Disco!!!

RAV · Oct 14, 2009

I've got the Rangie plus my 1998 modified Omega that is currently SORN cos its not running properly and I'm buggered if I can find what's wrong with it! Really got to get it sorted - I miss driving it and its more economical than the Rangie!

19.8 is well light, mine's somewhere between 24 and 25 lbs ... which for it's time was featherlight ...

Mate had a full Ti frame, stupidly thin wheelset and minimal 'extras and got his mountain bike down to 16 ... but he could never actually ride it off-road, scared he'd break it!!

My bike about a year ago .. saddle is now different, as are the stem and handlebars ... Gear set used to be the old style XT but they went west a few sets ago, can't recall what the name os this set is, think it's STX-RC, only 21 speed, and not high-end, same as forks, cheap, short movement, but that's fine by me, thumb shifters rather than twisters etc etc .. all to suit me, not fashion. As it happens, I also still prefer Vee's against discs ..
