Here at 'BTM Towers', there's;
My 110 'Heritage'
SWMBO's 'works van' for long/fast journies (Mondeo Ghia TDCi)
The 'spare-car; a Fabia 1.4Mpi estate (SWMBO's before she changed jobs & got the 'van'. We tend to let the Mother-in-law use it for her running about)
Regarding 2-wheels;
There's 2 road-bikes one set up as a 'training'/winter bike, the other is Titanium framed with a mainly Ultegra set up, a spare 853 frame/forks hanging up doing nothing, plus a Trek MTB
I also looked at another bike yesterday (alloy framed/carbon forked Cyclo-Cross)

WOW some good responsives with this post......
alot of you that replyed who go offroad only seem to either do green laning or a mild playday as you dont want to damage it to much.....
thats kinder not the sort of off roading im into :shock: i dont think there is a pannel on my disco that has got some sort of dent in it or super seriuos scrach, ive broke half shafts diffs, gear boxes, ripped off wings, popped a tyre off many times, lost exhausts, broken lights, flooded the insides you get the picture......
so basicaly mine is no where near in the state of been called an origanal car :wink:
ive only ever had 2 serious problems with it since owning it and 1 was the gearbox and the other the engine, and both took about 2months to sort out in the end, but any other proplem ive had with breakagies they usualy get sorted over the weekend.....
plus just down the road from theres a bloke who i work with so could always scank a lift off him
but like alot of you have said its easyer to have another car to go get parts etc and plus its not as much hassle driving my other car everyday, you can stick the radio on cruise to work and relax in it, plus its great on the corners..... in my disco i love driving high up and can be quite aggressive in it as its either move over or ill move you over :lol: but it can be quite hard to drive on long distancies, as it wollows all over the road
