So what do Retro Bikers drive??

Nice! One of the demands for buying a car for me is: has to be able to put a bike rack on it, or preferred a bike inside.
My fist car was a Volvo 440
Tow-hook and bike fitted insede with the seatsdown. Only the gastank (not fuel tank, but gas) was in the way.
Next car was a 1989 Celica. Great car, bike fitted easily inside. Well almost everything I wanted to transport fitted inside.
and then there was 4 years silence and now I have the Volvo 480. And yesterday I checked and the bike goes in perfect.

Had Land Rovers for years....went looking for a 101 Forward Control and came back from an Army auction with an Series III Air Portable/Lightweight :roll: Kept this as a daily driver for years - 16mpg, on 750 Mud Terrains and a roll cage
Then a Series III 88 petrol, 110 Turbo Diesel, 200 TDi 90 (stolen) and finally a 300TDi 90 CSW.
Now I live miles from work so have gotten into MK4 Astra's. Had four now, last one was a 64mpg 1.7DTi, now an LPG powered SXi with lots of Irmshcher kit on it :twisted:

Meh, nothing any good. A mid 90's Ford Laser (local equivalent to the Focus/Escort). Not too bad I suppose, decent engine and good economy. Mazda 323 with different bodywork...
My mate makes me constantly jealous with something very much akin to this:
Seeing as it weighs about 990Kg and has a 12AT motor pumping out somewhere near 400bhp, it is no suprise that it goes like sh*t off a shovel...

I love the old aussie cars, Holdens and Falcons.
When I visited in 1990 I got a lift from Canberra to Batemans Bay? in a mid 70's Holden Torana - IRC straight 6 lowered, fantastic car.

Love the bay window camper, Westfalia?
My mate had one for a year. We took it to Glastonbury... Broke down 5 times. Awesome weekend
My car is not nearly as interesting, but far more reliable.
2008 Mazda 2 TS2
I sling a bike in the back with the seats down.
(wow, didn't see the age of the original posts on this, massive bumpage from the fella above)
