Thread: The cars and bikes thread!

    One of my old bikes, heavy ole tank saved my ass in a crash with a pickup. I went up the bonnet and over the roof and it was the boxer cylinder head sticking out saved my leg from being crushed. Bike was knocked 30 yards up the road and I picked it up and rode it home. Pickup was undrivable ...

    Toledo surely ?

    and M would signify ~1973, and it looks like a 1500 twin carb from this distance

    Looks can be deceiving.... It's got a Dolomite 1850 'slant 4' in it and it's great fun around the track.
    I have another 2 door Toledo nearing completion with a Dolomite Sprint 2L 16 valve in it; that should really annoy the 'blue oval' crew

    I have a 22 year old truck that is like my first wife, a Honda daily diver for normal duty, and a Mustang convertible that I hope is still in my wife's garage the day I die.

    The appearance of the roof falling in is an iPhone anomaly. lol

    I used to work indirectly for British Leyland when these (and lots of others: Stag's, TR7's, 2.5PI's, rover 3500S, XJS etc) were rolling off the lines. (maybe that should be in the embarrassed thread ?)
    The rectangular headlights were the key to a toledo twin round on a Dolomite.

    The cars and bikes thread!

    My cars



    99 Civic Si



    93 Civic EX (F Street Prepared autocross car)



    1964 Triumph Spitfire. It is a long term vintage race car project. It has a CASC dash plaque and from that I found out it used to race in Toronto in the '70s.

    I have also owned a 70 MG Midget, '72 MG Midget, '78 MG Midget, '79 Mercedes 300TD, '88 Yugo, 95 Ford F150 and a 96 Civic DX. And co-owned a '84 VW Scirocco.

    From age 8 till (almost) 40 my main mode of transportation was on 2 wheels: bicycles and motorcycles. Then we moved to the USA (Houston area) and that was no longer a "sustainable" option.
