If your bike was a car, what car would it be?
I stole this idea from the 41. Should be more interesting in C&V.
Try to keep in mind country of origin and relative vintage.

My bike is red, therefore it's fast....sooooooo, Ferrari and Maserati are coming to mind. But, being the Trek 460 it is maybe a Pontiac GT8 GT is more fitting.

1974 Hetchins = Jaguar XKE (pure class)
1989 Centurion Dave Scott = Honda CRX (poor man's sports car)
1991 Bridgestone RB-2 = Camaro Z28 (Corvette engine in a cheaper more practical body)
Raleigh Sports = Model T
1991 Trek 830 = Ford F150

ALAN, Maserati Merak: funky design, acres of class and a very dubious reputation of falling apart at inopportune moments.

Rih - Traction Avant. Black and beautiful, the design just worked so it was produced for a long time with little changes.

Hmmm....most of my bikes are French. For some reason one of those funky looking Citroens comes to mind, but I would never own one. I think the only French car I would consider would be a classic Bugatti, but somehow that does not equate with a Lejeune.

A bright red GTO with fins and gills like some giant piranha fish, an obscene phallic symbol on wheels.
With acknowledgement to Thomas Dolby.
Now, if Lynn's E type was the earlier one with covered bumpers... and RED...
