    Nay, he said it was the Golf's much larger brother. I had to rule that one out earlier!

    Haven't read the whole thread, so probably a repeat, but the Bora?

    The Bora/Jetta ain't been mentioned Stan. <ok>

    Surely one of us has mentioned it at this stage?

    Not overly keen on most modern Ducatis but the 70's 450 Scrambler was gorgeous to look at albeit very fragile mechanically.

    Motorbikes, now we're talking. Kawasaki Z1, the original 'widowmaker', changed the face of power-motorcycling forever in the early 70s, with Jap reliability as well they couldn't fail.

    Best fun bike/hooligan tool was the Yamaha RD350LC of the early 80s, it was just the perfect balance of raw power and brilliant handing (at that time).

    I now ride a rather 'sedate' Suzuki GSX650F the perfect all-rounder in my dotage...

    RD350LC was a great bike as were all the larger Yamaha 2 stroke twins from the late sixties onwards. Insane power delivery and what was great handling for then.

    The Z1 was the big four stroke four, the real killer was the first of the 500 triples, the HI, with crap brakes, crap frame and way too much sudden power:

    Possibly Tiger T100 or T110, possibly the single carb versions of the Daytona and Bonneville? Good bikes before the industry fell apart.

    Oi Queens, I was under the impression those Aussies liked big, heavy motors out there with V6 and V8 engines. But I've heard the Mazda 3 was the best selling car out there last year.

    Whats the deal?
