      I don't think that electric cars are entirely practical, but I suspect that for 90% of the time the range of a typical one (circa 100 miles / 160 km) would be sufficient.

      Besides, electric motorcycles sound like TIE fighters. That's got to be a bonus. 😃

          Hell yes.

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

                  nice. though how's your experience with the smg or is that a manual?

                    It's an SMG box. It's a pain in the arse when driving normally but brilliant when you are giving it a bit of stick. I'd always prefer a manual but it wasn't an option the the UK (at least not to my knowledge).

                    It's laugh out loud fast, sounds amazing and properly luxurious. I'm not sure what can ever replace it.

                      an s65 v8 would match it in term of sound and speed. better with the dct as well rather than the smg. but i don't think it can be replaced. the f10 m5 is quick, but just doesnt sound or feel the same.

                        Morgan, who are renowned for building cars how they used to be, have announced an electric version of their three wheeler. It's only a prototype, but they're aiming for production next year.

                        There's a faint possibility of a job in Silicon Valley, and if I made that move I'd get one because everyone there drives Teslas.

                        But I'd want the Bonneville style streamliner model.

                            A friend has one of the last M3's with the V8 and it is probably a better car but doesn't feel as special. The M5 just leaves it from 60mph and up.

                            The F10 is quicker but I couldn't justify the price difference to trade up.

                            E60 seems to be here to stay. One of the few cars that could tempt me would be a 991 GT3…..  😘

                              i can't say cause i haven't driven the e60 before. but i had the e90 m3 for a short period of time. the exhaust notes really sets it apart from their twin turbo plants. all the s65 needs is an aftermarket exhaust tune and a supercharger now that i'm back in school, i cant enjoy those for the time being. but i love the stance of the f10… maybe one day..

                              good choice on the gt3. if you can live without the luxuries. maybe the rs. the 991 is brutal.

                                I've been working on my 1984 Land Cruiser a bit this summer. I'm moving away for the 'full safari' look the previous owner had cultivated (see first pic).  The 7'8" height also made it hard to park anywhere.

                                I have a new custom soft top on order (like the black top on the gray truck in the last picture).  I need to do some prep work first so I unbolted and removed the high roof this past weekend.  After three years in the driveway, I was able to park it in the garage for the first time!

                                  I've wanted a 1932 Ford Hi-Boy in matte black since I was a kid.  They don't make em like they used to.  That's a dream.

                                  My reality is a Honda Civic.  It gets me from A to B fine…..  And it's nice not having to worry about your car and where you park in Seattle.

                                    So, think I got something worthy of a bump.

                                    Photos don't really do it justice.
                                    Now I need to invest in a good speed radar…

                                          Really going to have to watch my speed, it's one of those cars before you know it you're doing close to 100 MPH.
                                          Didn't expect to walk away with it, was leaning towards Audi or BMW. But the way this one drives stole the show.
                                          Plus it has a back row of seats (while the others didn't), so I can freak out even more people while driving it hard.
