This is my way of thinking and yet I’ve rebuilt three bikes (two and a quarter really) to factory spec and I barely ever drive them; probably have around 300 miles combined on the three. Anyway they’re drivable!

Whenever I see an article about handbuilt bikes there’s ALWAYS a chopped up BMW /5 in there. The stock bike is good looking and more of a cruiser than a cafe racer and yet I haven’t seen any take that route yet.

I hear about people taking their XJs off-roading all the time and always think why would you offroad a Jag?

All that’s missing from that picture is a massive cell phone in his hand and that’s the 80's right there.

Brace yourself...

I also powered through and I agree with most of what you say.

The divorce lawyer? Nah, he actually seemed like a cool guy going through his midlife crisis HARD, the guy with the McLaren though...

I was constantly expecting a bumper to be ripped off but it never happened, now I want one.

Prados are known to be the bodyguard vehicle of choice in my country and probably a few others in Latin America, possibly even some others

Yeah this is one of those cars where the person paying for it most definitely won’t be the person driving it.

Yeah that’s what I was wondering, the car needs a cam belt soon so that somehow makes it not road legal? It could literally go on for 50 or 60k miles on the same belt after the scheduled service

At least the Mercedes doesn’t appear to be in the picture.

I own a few vintage bikes and would actually consider something like this except I don’t live in the US so no insurance company wants to even get near any of the bikes, not even for liability insurance (I called, they laughed and just said “no, nonono... no”)

GT6 + MGB + something I can’t quite identify on those rear fenders

I think that’s mostly due to most bikes using “wet” multi plate clutches (inside the gearbox with the oil) vs cars using “dry” clutches.

As someone who loves driving, here’s what I’d love about this:

I believe the Lancia Stratos was the first off-roadable supercar. Given the roads I have to drive in I’d love for there to be one available now. Not that I’d buy it since I don’t have any money but just to know that it was there.

Clearly, this engine of this funny pink sort-of Bugeye sprite is based on a 4.2-liter twin-cam, triple-carbed straight-six Jaguar engine.

How you managed to drive that Spitfire in the first place is baffling, I’m 5'7" and need to slide the seat all the way back in my dad’s GT6

It does depend on your particular circumstances, how often do you travel to places that’d damage any of the BMWs? If never then there’s your answer, if often, but not to terribly bad roads I’d recommend something like a Forester XT (not too expensive, drives pretty good but only comes in automatic). And if you do go…
