Heavy traffic is not one of

Heavy traffic is not one of his problems, it is all country roads except for the last 4 miles of his 28 mile trip. And that last 4 miles is in the opposite direction to those heading towards London.

 

Edit] It is probably the anti-dote to his sickness which is computers. MEng Maths and Computing.

That sounds a lot like my nephew, except the traffic is heavy and often gridlocked, California allows lane splitting for bikes.

But at least mine comes with an electric hood. If you want a windscreen and a hood you need the "S" pack at £2,995 extra. So you're Talking 20 grand for a basic model. They hold their s/h prices though.

They hold their s/h prices would be a disadvantage if you want to buy them s/h.

And anything remotely similar to a Z3 is not for me, I require at least 5 seats.

You need to look at the wider picture. It would be an advantage if you wished to sell one.

The Z3 was bought for me, by me, as a personal retirement present from me to me, after 40 years of hard work. No other matter whatsoever was taken into consideration. Selfish? Damn right it was, you bet your sweet bibby!!

My Chevvy Matiz hatchback as a cheap little runaround has 5 seats when necessary, and the rear seat also folds down for extra loading space as required.  

I also have a "proper" bike that I am not too lazy to pedal.

I don't own a kart, bicycle

I don't own a kart, bicycle or motorcycle, just a new pickup truck that thinks it's a car, the Honda Ridgeline. As a new homeowner it comes in very handy avoiding delivery fees from everyone, yet rides well enough to enjoy driving all day long in it. It's not for taking windy roads at high speed but it did come with 4 wheel drive which I'll probably never use but had no choice about as they are selling like hotcakes and if you don't take it someone else wil land then you have to wait another month or more for the next one. I got one in the colors and trim model I wanted so accepted the 4wd as it was that or nothing.

The Honda Ridgeline is a sports utility truck (SUT) as against an SUV. It can also be used as a makeshift tent for overnight fishing. With a 4WD option it tries to be a number of things, an all in one hybrid off roader/pick up truck.
