OK, I admit defeat straight up.

The deal was if I wanted a motobike, one of the cars had to go. So I found my dream bike, a 1974 Ducati Desmo Mk.3 and bought it.

Now, with a BMW M3, a 1970 Cooper S and a 1964 850, guess what's going on eBay?

I am figuring no poll required, but you just never know around these parts :roll:

First off noice choice of bike........so let me reason this through....
The Bimmer is the only car the wife really likes to drive and some would say is the most practical......the Cooper is the most fun..........
the 850 is...well..historical and you will get a bit of money for it, if it's original. So it it would make quite a nice down payment on that lovely machine.
I've got a good story about the very first time I laid eyes on a 750 SS.

I agree with the economics of the idea, plus it also removes the artificial limit to the size of the fleet.

OK, but how do I garage 3 cars and a bike in North Fitzroy??? There ain't much of the great outdoors here ya know!

What I haven't said is that the Cooper has been AWOL getting a birthday and is due home. The garage can take 2 cars max.

And the Obese feline will be happy to know that the handbag queens car is on the street. Sorry babe, no room in the garage :twisted:
