all of the above,,, but at the moment I own one 1991 bike and one 1989 austin mini, and Mark has an audi A6 and 3 newer bikes and an old C90
If i could own any car it would be a 1969 mustang or a 1972 charger mmmmm and for mark it would be a lotus exige and bikes for me would be a blackbird or Sprint ST (which mark already has) and Mark it would be something very expensive and pretty ( and large in numbers) |

The 72 Charger were the weaker engined of the models and way too sluggish for any fun  |

Oh my god! A lady with a fabulous body who loves muscle cars and bikes! I have a Sprint ST too as I couldn't justify a Blackbird and was scared my license wouldn't stay clean as I have very little self control (throttle that is,lol).
Mrs tried a bike but packed it in when she realised she preferred being a pillion. |

I have a mix - my newest two vehicles are 2004 and 2005, both bought brand new, but the oldest is from 1954 and they range from 50s through to 1990s. I have something from every decade apart form the 1970s (and that's only cos I sold the 1970s vehicles.
My preference is three wheels over two or four though ...

"cars every time
bikes hold no interest for me
british classics like a TR4 or a mk 1 GT6 are my preference over muscle cars etc"
Snap well almost my favourite is the TR4a but mine's not from a petrol head angle mine is a typical girl angle, I like the look of it
Also very into Morgans especially the aero 8 I love its boggle eyes |

Bikes all the way. Cars are useful but bikes are a pleasure.
There again it might be the case that she likes a man in leather.. Mind you the ladies in there tight leathers are mouth watering....

Always Cars - some new some old - my first car was a 1967 Triumph Herald and that was just a fantastic little car - tiny engine but with rally suspension and rear wheel drive made for excellent low speed roundabout fun in the wet! |

I've had a couple of Triumph Heralds over the years, a great fun little car those. I also had a GT6 Mark 1, lord knows why I sold that, GT6s are fantastic! What else? A few Rover P6s, both 4 cylinder ones and V8s, the V8 manual was nice, it showed a few boy racers up! Triumph Dolomites are another favourite, a Sprint will leave an Escort RS2000 standing..
I agree with Cali on V Twin bikes, my first bike was an SV650 |

The third generation Dodge Charger
1971/74 is a superb styled car, they look fantastic, it wouldnt matter if they only had a reconditioned lawn mower engine fitted! Lol 
There is a 1973 Charger just round the corner from me, rusting away.

Have a look on the tinterweb for a 72 charger owned by musician called Kenny Wayne Shepherd, truly stunning example of a later Charger. It's featured in Popular Hot Rodding's January issue. |

He won't sell Mr Dogger, we have all tried, he even once said he would sell it, my friend went round with the 500 quid a couple of years ago, but he changed his mind, great shame.
Charger SE 318ci auto, white with black landu roof.

"...Cars or Bikes? New or Classic?
Which would you go for?"
Has to be car and new as reliability, warmth, air con and getting to a meet dry and smelling nice is a priority for me. |

In various state of repairs in the Richie household are: (in no particular order of favouritism)
1969 VW Karmann Ghia convertible
1997 Kawasaki ZXR 400
1962 Lambretta LI 150
1974 VW Beetle Karmann cabriolet
2001 Porsche Carrera 4
So in answer to the OP's question, cars, bikes, classics and new, I kind of like them all. Couldn't do a car just to get from A-B and yes, I have a small penis! |

This thread reminds me of the guy I met at a local swingers club who boasted about his new Mercedes sports car...who then pulled up alongside me a week or so later at traffic lights in an old Ford Focus.
A month or so later I accidentally bumped into him at his workplace....Wilkos.

I know someone on the scene who has one in black that`s been tastefully customised. I`m saying tastefully and I mean it because they`re not a vehicle I usually like! But I do like his one! |

I would like an Austin Healey 3000 or a Wolseley 6/110. And going the modern direction it would have to be a Holden SS Ute. I`m normally not a bike person but if I could guarantee a nice country route with good weather, no other traffic and no gnats or other insects flying about, then a nice British twin cylinder bike of around the 250cc capacity would be nice! Not looking to tear along, just a steady potter and take in the view!
And for everyday use it`s got to be a brand spankers new Land Rover Defender! |

Holden ute is a good call
For a bike I would choose a Harley to plod about on, a Yamaha XJR1300 for retro looks and modern performance and just for shits and giggles a RD 350 LC. |

Mate of mine had one, nightmare on a wet roundabout when you're 19yo and he then restored a 3.0 litre Capri which was stolen on its first night out and torched...he bought a Datsun Cherry after that; that was never nicked! |

I had a really nice 3.0 litre Capri, 1977 vintage, black with skirts fitted and chrome wheels, I owned it just over three years, eventually I sold it to a mate who pestered me to sell it to him, he drove it for a few weeks and then just left it in his drive to rust away for years.

Most anything with wheels. Ive had capri's a v6 chevette, fd victor with a rover v8, split screen minor with a rover v8,71 mustang 391gt notchback, z28 camaro and an iroc z. Then the usual 16v's, golf , audi80 sport, calibra, manta blah blah blah. Then i met a right tart n concentrated on mad sex lol.
But we share a passion for bikes, which ran alongside my passion of cars but now takes precident. Nit even going to attempt to list any of them here. I find beuty in most things mechanical. And the wife of course |

cars, anything thats reliable. would love a classic, but cant really afford a toy and need a car capable of 500+ miles a week with no problems.
bike: prefere mid aged (mid to late 90's)
hate the old box shaped sports bikes, but also the new generation as they all look the same.
D model zzr1100 or blackybird would be my fave, other than a jap custom |

Cars.. but would love to ride a Harley sometime! bit of a cliche, but hey!!
I love my old 96 C class Mercedes (It's got 150,000 on the clock, burns oil and the bodywork is showing it's age, but the only way it's going to die is if I take it to the yard to be crushed).
When I can afford it, this would be my ultimate upgrade..
Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Edition
The Top Gear video on this motor is one to watch on youtube (even if you can't stand Clarkson)..

It might have just been restorable to an expert, the rumours at the time was that it was scrapped for the V6 lump.
