I guess this thing is whats going to stop me from posting in this thread for the foreseeable future .) Thats a sad thing but i also hope it will be the start of many happy moments to come!

I guess new bikes and parts for them have always (more or less) been about lust for me and very little about practicality. In this sense my latest object of desire plays on the same strings as my bikes do.

Earlier this summer i bought a nissan 350, this was my first car in 15 years as i usually bike wherever i go, i dont even ride public transportations. I bike or sometimes a cab / lend a car when situation require. I really enjoyed the nissan but it wasent an item i lusted for. So it had to go once vacation was over. At the same time as i sold that, this thing of beauty, an object i had desired and lusted for over 25 years or so popped up for sale local to me. I had to go c it! After looking at it twice i also had to buy it!

This may be the dumbest purchase i have ever made, time will tell but its also one of the few purchases that as of late has made me feel like a young boy again. Im totally smiling just thinking about it .)

It drives very nice, its actually pretty fast as well and a handfull to keep on the road if you push it as the rear likes to break free very easily. I suspect the servicebills is whats ultimately keeps me from posting new bikeprojects for a while but im fine with that as long as i can keep this grin on my face that cant seem to wash off!

Had to share even tho its offtopic,

Cheers all
B

Thx!
The pic, dunno i still c the 2 i posted but here is another one..
I shall take some good ones when i get the opportunity. Its very hard to photograph this one with the body panels unusual shape as they reflect the light very differently from each other. It can look very booring and subdued, but also very muscular and unique depening on the light and angle. I guess thats what i always like about this car. Its very much a sleeper for the non car ppl. U could walk by it and hardly not notice it. Well i couldent but some do .)

I figured it out. My work firewall is filtering it out for some reason but on my phone it works fine. Other poster's pics show up fine too.
