What do you Drive?
- Thread starter zimby
- Start date
1994 Daihatsu Charade that I picked up ~15 years ago for $8k. I paid way over the market for it but it has been almost faultless. The only mechanical has been a fuel pump for $600. Not bad for 15 years. My car turns 20 this year. What I like about it is 600km+ to a tank
I do a lot more km on my Masi ?09 Speciale Randonneur though... which is one reason why my car has lasted so long. The Masi was $999 + $142 delivery. Still on the original tyres (although they are due for replacement now).

daily drive is a company car - currently a Nissan Xtrail but that changes regularly
Mrs has a '12 Nissan Dualis Ti with about 20k's on the clock which we upgraded from a '99 Corolla with 160k's we had from new.
Corolla was great & cheap to own but things started to go wrong so we decided to get rid of it before something major happened...
The weekender/timewaster/moneypit is a 1970 Capri racecar (not registered)

<thought many gutter thoughts but decided to keep it clean>
I like the Giant range. Bang for buck it does it for me as I'm not as much of a cyclist as you. I got the year before's run out model for $1k and it's carbon fibre blah blah super light and fast. Well fast compared to my old Avanti flat bar road bike
Umm you don't have a Subie?
its a bit like VYBerlinaV8.
I had a '98 bilstein edition many years ago... but sold it when I was offered a company car.
Its a username that I have stuck with for a while on different forums
Haha, was only having a (small) dig
!Yes, good range and bang for buck! I had one about 15years ago of my own, but ride one just recently for a couple of weeks while waiting for another bike to arrive (I permanently disabled my bike
)!I just got my wife a Giant Envie Advanced, so I have all faith in them.

Yes, yes all we have!
Edit - still the best bike I've ever owned hower. A nice XC bike that cost more than most of my friends first cars!
