Neighbours house is finally done...it's...colourful.




Not sure how well it works to paint vinyl siding (the garage/north half) - I guess time will tell.

Now if only he'd paint the fence!  ;D

Not in my neighborhood but a coworker of mine in the Halifax area sent me this photo of the clownshoe that showed up this week at one of his neighbors.  He's wanted one for a few years now but got turned off by the prices.  He inquired about my Z3M but was a little low on the price scale.  He's a slappie and has three bimmers now but looking for another.

Just a base one, which were never sold in Canada. Most of them seem to be automatics from what I've seen. I think they're rarer than the M models.

At least 10 deer munching on acorns and ornamental apples in the front yard as me and the dog came around the corner for his morning 2.  Didn't move until I stomped a foot...Poof!! Gone!  Don't think Farley even noticed (it's still dark at 6:30 - and I think his eyes are getting shi##ier)

Saw this absolutely mint Samurai the other day just around the corner from me. Haven't seen one in this shape in decades.

Wow. Remember when the local gas station used to sell those, a loooong time ago. That one must have sat in a garage

Honda Goldwing with side car

I almost bought one last year.  exact same but red(those 90s color with tons of shine/pearl in it) with that double sidecar.  it was in EDM and only $6500.  I decided not too and regret now.  Would have been a nice commuter to drop the kids at school.

LOL, that wouldn't have been embarrassing at all.  :rofl2:



Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

I LOVE sidecars, but I think they should only be on vintage motorcycles. 

They're kooky, though, and I like 'em.

I take it back, scooter is now not the most embarrassing thing on two wheels, this setup makes those things look like a Ducati Monster lol

Most of the time I see people hauling their dogs in side cars. I'd imagine they aren't great. Stiff ride, super low to the ground, etc.

When we were at the MotoGP races at Indy, there was a few Busas with sidecars...much sleeker looking. Would be a terrifying ride in that sidecar!

And another time at Road America, they had professional sidecar racing as one of the support races.  Side car racing pretty popular in Euroland...both on and off road.

Probably. Ive been in one a long time ago.  More something you do on small roads doing 60ish

Ural sidecars have a driven wheel....work well in winter too!
