There's a runner on eBay for £2500 but I have no spare money till end of next summer, like I said, need a bike first :-p

What bike you looking at getting , last one i had was an FJR 1200 ... old nail but was smooth as silk for 400 notes with a full mot 

I'm looking at either a GSXR or a CBR 1000, depends, might even end up with a 750 yet, will have to see

Personally I wouldn't get a bike these days-gave up years ago-but then most car drivers had previously rode motorbikes BUT these days 99% of car drivers havent and are lethal towards bikers-see it everyday on A40 coming home mate-Save up ya cash-come with me to Third Thursday Car Club-Get ya Granada

bit late tagging on this thread but  . .  yep had a 3.0 consul GT manual  M reg. It  was a horrid garish orange colour.

Went like "poo off a shovel" as I remember    but was only young then 

 Straight swopped it for my J reg 3000E Capri .. .which had seen better days 

Can't remember why I got rid of it  . . . but had several more Granadas after that one

a far cry from the 2012 film..lol....a 1.6 eco boost focus made to look like an st lol......

Indeed TAM!!   Obviously in 2012 they just didn't have the quality British motors to use; not even a miggy!  Forgetting all the foreign (German) cars I suppose they could have used, the Insignia 2.8i could have been an equal to the Granada / Consul of old!!

Let's just remind ourselves of that iconic title 'scene' for the original Sweeney, with the Consul and even the classic British Jag (4.2?):

It was a 3.8S Mk2 Jag Lizzie
