Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hang on a minute, yuppies only have one phone/PDA. You must be on about homeboys. That would make Supras the new Falcon.

Dumber than Chinese letters across the bonnet or a 4-point racing harness in a car that cruises along at 3kmh?

[edit] the main photo is pretty classic, the guy on the lounge in the background.

And here I am applying for marketing and sales jobs in the UK! You dont think that I will get to far with that? Nah in the end sold it privately anyway so all is good.

As long as you're not writing ad copy, you'll be ok. So what was the final price?

What about the Nissan GTR's, they are a seriously quick car and can be fully loaded with blue lights, fuzzy dice, and a stereo that will keep your ears ringing for weeks on end!!

Bikes: Thylacines...only Thylacines.

I like the look of the Keo's but just bought the new Times RXS instead. Mainly because I can't get the Looks wholesale.

Cool pedals. I got Dura-Ace, but now wish I got the RXS. I ain't impressed.

Got 700 for it in the end off old mate. Probably could have got more off ebay, but was at least certain of this much. All is good, not that worried about the chance of missing maybe 50 to 100 more. Now selling TV and surround sound unit, oh and car.. hmm then I dont really much more after that. Things better work out OS or when I return I will be living in a cardboard box somewhere with newspaper furnishing
