Dream Vehicles

**Pleater** · 11th February 08, 04:51 AM

I want a motor trike - those things which are a motorbike on the front, and a place for all the shopping/equipment at the back and a large enough engine to move it at a good speed.

There were quite a few around at one time, using a 1000cc car engine with a cable operated clutch - mounted sideways in the frame.

A blue one.

Though the Kawasaki 1300cc shaft drive with a nice side car might do. That can be any colour it wants to be.

My dream vehicle doesn't exist. It would be a 4x4 Dodge Dakota which runs on water and produces no pollutants in the exhaust.

Hey, you reminded me of one of mine that I forgot, a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK350. A roadster that turns into a hardtop coupe.

Give 'em some time, they'll get the no pollution part down, then you can look for a conversion for the water part.

That's what I'm saving my other Triumph (T120 - 650cc) motor for!

Absolute heracy, Sir!

The only modification to be made to an old British MC is to replace anything with the Prince of Darkness's name on it.

Dream rides??

I have one of them:

My '93 400E
275hp/295lb.ft. 4.2L 4 cam 32v V8
Fast, quiet, smooth, and gets 22-24mpg as my daily driver.

And the other I'll never own:

1971 Lamborghini Miura SV
385hp 3.9L v12
My ultimate all-time favorite.

Hmmmm...I guess you won't want to see pics of my old 650 Bonneville choppers then. Would build another in a heartbeat if I had the chance.

There was a Lambo Muira in the original Italian Job. Beautiful footage of it driving through the Italian Alps. I believe the car was parted after (of during) filming. You might get it cheap
