    Spotted a Tuscon today with the static blue light on and in fairness it did look very good especially with all the battenburg on it as well.

    Which honda is left?
    Haven't seen any in years.
    The pans were the main choice till the new model have the death wobble so they were dumped.
    The UK police binned them too. Too dangerous.

    BMW 750 GS A bunch of them have been delivered, but I've not seen any out and about. The bike has a de-tuned 850cc engine, so I'd say driving courses are an issue, because the standard biker is limited to 700cc. They're also chain driven, so need more maintenance.

    Nice looking bike that BMW in Tipp. Is that going to be the replacement for the DullVilles or is it just in trial?

    I'm gone a long time now, but the only car I recall as being universally loved wasn't bought in small numbers. It was the 07/08 Mondeo. That thing had loads of power and just didn't let go of the road.

    I was in a mondeo one night going to an RTC on the M8 and at times the needle was hitting 200+ (I wasn't the driver), apart from the road noise and speed of the scenery going past you wouldn't have realised.

    I am not sure how many were out on the fleet I know it was a low amount but the Camry was the best rare model. One of the lads I was in the college with loved the Silver unmarked Volvo, he was driving it when it was wrote off in City centre.

    Yeah, the Camry was a nice comfortable car, with a bit of straight line poke!

    Yeah, I reckon that’s why it stayed mainly on M50 and Ashbourne/finglas road, going through dunsink at speed was very fun/frightening

    Did Compol not use the Toyota Yaris? So I assume this would be a step up?
