The huntmaster is a twin, so double the fun. Quite terrifying for a young lad. Like this one:



Dads had the seperate saddles though.

lol walk away for 5mins....

All good guys with the chatter, what forums are for!

Big Dave, you are dead right, it's not just a matter of buying it and then shrugging your shoulder when something goes wrong. I'm in no rush really and just toying with the idea, I have own two classic British cars now and the experience has been something else

I've got no car at the moment and donno if I'll have space for one really, so have been toying with the bike idea. Also the idea of a bike with no reg or vintage reg is good as then I have the government off my back.

If I can get a car again I shall do that I dare say, but just checking out what's on offer in the 2 wheel sector. Thinking Morris/Austin 1300 this time

Learned to drive in a 1300, parents had a 1800 ( before they saw the light and bought a Holden V8) and my dad had an A60....sort of put me off Brit vehicles for some years.....

I bought a VW beetle...then a Kombi........ now I'm working on a 69 beetle with my son to learn to drive and spanner on....he rebuilt the engine and I'm welding up the body. Have to get my Kombi sorted this year too.

Seriously!!!!!

Minis can be cool....

1100 / 1300's are NOT cool.... Innovatitve, successful, ahead of their time but not really cool. shudder....

Allegro's are just..... horrid....

[Indiana_Jones]

I had a 1980 Marina with the 1700 alloy head motor and driving lights. It was the manual and in red it looked really nice. It drove well with good torque for the hills, good economy and very comfortable with good ergonomics for its day, too!

A pal once had a marina 6 cyl. If excitement (especially in the wet) is what you want, look no further

Well - you can make a 350 REALLY fly (ask the red devils) but a fully dressed '21'... not quite my cup of tea thanks...

[Motu]

The 21 was Bathtub or Bikini and helmet front guard - that one is lean and mean.Performance would be on par with a Morris 1100.
