So you ride an ADV bike: What car(s) do you drive?

**Ruralman** · 12th September 2009, 22:28

Deutz Agroplus - 95hp, turbo diesel, computer operated clutch ( push button while shifting), 5 speeds in 3 ratios with 3 splits in each, forward/reverse shuttle, sunroof, air conditioning (needs a refresh), good heater, basic stereo, electronic 4WD, able to mount complex attachment for and aft with numerous hydraulic drive options - oh - and - wait for it................ a top speed of about 35km/hr

Dunno about these deadly treadlies, but in a past life I drove a Holden HZ panel van with warmed-over 5.0L V8 and Commodore 3-speed auto, wide mags & sticky tyres...

(It stuck like shit to a blanket right up until it hit a bump

)

About then I swapped to bikes, boy did the CBX250 use a heap less go-juice!!!

(Hey Ruralman, do you have the Deutz engine screensaver??)

And there's also a holden but I don't want to talk about that!

That is a truly impressive list of treadlies and Padmei was well out there as well. Now I can tell Mrs Chasio that the 4 I have got jammed in the shed is pretty average

Nice toys, I got a 525 bimmer for the wife, a Rav4 for carrying stuff and a Specialised P1 AM for staying fit (ish).

It's quite good if you are in to engines. It's been doing the rounds of a lot of engineering computers in the last few years.

You don't want all 42.3MB of it via dialup, either.

Google also threw up a link to a Perkins diesel screensaver- only 28MB
