B4 Griff, Triumph Speed Triple and Ford KA (that I had to buy my ex cause she... well she's my ex..).

Before that if you can be arsed trawling through:

several minis, clubman estate, cooper, 1100, 1967 950, cooper special (well it was to me) etc,

Loads of bikes, K1, GPZ(s), KH500 (beauty) CB900F2 x 2, Ducati supersport, larverda jota (yup I'm that old..), Triumphs: T3, Tiger90, Tiger100, BSA, couple of bonnies, an old trident (you see a pattern forming?) etc, and my new little chap.

A transit to cart the CB900's to race tracks in, Ford Cortina Mk3 (...!!), Fiat Tipo, Fiesta, '75 Lincoln Continental, Ford mustang Mk3 (in the states, a dream achieved)

Let's see, I leave all this information about me on the world wide interweb...

Safe enough!!!!!!!!!

Edited to say: larverda - gosh, more like lardverda jota cause of the bloke on it!!

Before my Griff 500 I have a 1.4 litre Polo. Those are the only two cars I've ever owned. I have previously driven my dad's old 1.1 litre Fiesta and my gran's old 1.0 litre Metro Automatic so I wasn't a complete stranger to power

Not quite on topic, but my mother used to have a Peugot 205 1.1. That meant that if I went over to see her and took her shopping, I was stepping out of a Griff 500 and into a Pug 205 - a drop, at least on paper, of 340bhp down to 55bhp. With practice the change was quite smooth! Can anyone else report such a contrast?
