Well, replying to PIG earlier reminded me that I need to update my daily ride! Nothing like being nearly a year too late on this one

I'll see when I can get some pics up. Here's a list so long.
1972 VW Beetle. It was turned into a badja bug, and then a bus t-boned me. We fixed it up until the engine ran out of oil and took some strain. It's currently standing without front wheels.
1996 Honda Civic. I dropped the suspension, put bigger wheels on, did the brakes and swapped the engine for a 2.2 VTEC from a prelude, with an aftermarket ECU. It also had branches and exhaust done. It'll do 160mph in 4th gear easy, at altitude (we're about 4500 feet above sea level here). I'm pretty sure it'll take 300km/h (just under 200mph) at the coast...if it'd just stop breaking clutches and side shafts. It's currently standing with a leaking manifold gasket.
2005 Citi golf chico, 1.3 carb. It's gonna put 200k kms on the clock next month. Daily driver.
2007 Honda Civic. This one is stock standard and my other daily driver
2010 Honda CBR 125. I got knocked off this on the highway after I'd had it for about 3 months. Was doing a charity run for orphans. Douche that hit was a lawyer. Came flying up from behind doing about 30 miles over the speed limit and clipped my handle bars on the way past. I rolled across 4 lanes of traffic and smashed into the barrier. Fuck knows how nobody drove over me. While I was lying on the side of the road with paramedics standing over me the dick wonders up and tells me he's gonna sue me for scratching his door. Anyway, it's been standing at the dealership since then while the court case (which hasn't even made it to court yet) is worked out.
My latest edition, which should find it's way to my place in the next couple of weeks is a 2007 Isuzu D-MAX, 3.0l turbo diesel. Original owner did so much to this it's laughable. Spent more than a 3rd of the value of it on extras. Next guy stripped most of them out, and now I'm buying it cheap. Left mods are suspension, under carriage protection, chipped engine and monitoring unit, exhaust, bumpers and some other small stuff.
Here are a couple of pics of it when the original owner had it kitted out (looks about the same minus the roof wracks and spots).

So this is going to be your "bush" vehicle then?
Trudi, that's a nice bike but all I see is a lot of hot pipes against small legs if I rode that!
RE: Show off your ride - PIG - 06-15-2012
yep. Gonna use it for overlanding. Which basically means road trip, but not on roads. At least, not tar roads.
RE: Show off your ride - Rhubarb - 06-15-2012
This is what I would like. Watch the video
Sher says I've got to go back and start my license again if I thought James would get that for me (which he says not for either of us
)http://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/motorcycles/range/classics/thruxton
RE: Show off your ride - LKTraz - 06-15-2012
2300 CC 3 cylinder?
That's a bit funky!
RE: Show off your ride - twisteroo - 06-16-2012
And it's still not a Honda Silverwing.
RE: Show off your ride - Twitchin Kitten - 06-16-2012
Trudi, you need to get that license for our trip! You know we can rent bikes for a day when we hit a good place!
RE: Show off your ride - LKTraz - 06-16-2012
And I'll bet they won't restrict what size bike either. Pretty much "It's a British motorcycle license? Ok. Which bike ya wanna rent?"
