Lots of TUs at my course as well! I got to wheel one of those around for a bit, too. I can imagine that they're maybe not the best for long highway runs...

Never mind the million-dollar Singers, I feel like this is the ideal modern Porsche.

That Bimmer looks as mean as the Cube does innocent.

My steed at my MSF course was a TW200! Super fun little bikes. Those G450X's are hen's teeth, BMW didn't sell many of those!

I've always had a soft spot for the 90s/00s era SVTs, the Coutour and the Focus. All the Euro Escort rally specials, of course. (I guess these are all Euro Fords...)

Strangely enough, I bought a Ford just today! πŸ˜†

Yeah, the 2002 was my friend's. He has since sold it, but I did a full engine rebuild for him a couple of years ago. That was a really fun project (sadly that Bimmer had LOTS of rust πŸ™). The F-bike is an '03. I bought it in December down in New Mexico. Rode it all the way to Montana in May!

Literally the singular version of tortellini is tortellino. Raviolo, etc.

Me? At the moment, about 100 from my Land Rover and 50 from my BMW F650GS πŸ˜…. This ridiculous thing I just happened to run across on Craigslist.

These really were handsome little cars. There's a Suzuki version hanging around my neighborhood - awfully rare these days.

Nah, the original engine, just flipped around for rear-wheel-drive and installed in the back.

I suppose you have to keep all the wiring intact one way or another for it to run correctly and pass inspection. So all the stuff from the back goes in the front, and all the stuff from the front goes in the back!
