ahem!!...at one time we had 5 Fiat 126Bis and a 500 Giardiniera, within a family of 4 (plus 2 VW golfs and an Iveco camper)...only son's 2 were on road and others were too cheap to ignore from eBay n local papers...is that sane??? but a complete car at £50.00 was cheaper than a replacement exhaust!!!     

[landyman]

back in 1982 thats how i bought 500`s       Â£50 rough £350-400 nice with mot    ah!!!!those were the days

       hang on a minute is that the hovis music       eyup   when i was a lad lived in a cardboard box in a puddle
             some poor sods couldn`t aford a puddle we were lucky i suppose

Ive already told my kids when they want to drvie they'll get a 126 and like it! I want a small fleet of them out on the drive- and if they makes me odd then so be it!

 Hmmm. Please someone tel me how it is like to be normal. At the moment 14 vehicles(I`m not a trader). I think there must be a medical term for it .

You are OK , You have just got a mild tendency towards LORD MOTAGUE SYNDROME 
Common symptoms are fairly full back yard & garage, inability to concentrate on the road when driving past shop windows & bus queues. Mild addiction to Swarfega & latex gloves. Dry mouth, high blood pressure & increased heart rate when bidding on eBay for new aquisitions or anything with Abarth in the title. Inability to use the numbers 3 , 4 & 5 as the sufferer is locked into the sequence 1 , 2 , 6 & so on.
More cronic sufferers will be unable to find a mate unless an infected fellow can be found & "My exhaust pipe is bigger than yours" chav types should be avoided.
 
I have learnt much from the Great Master Mick, through his teachings one can find enlightenment & having visited his Temple I know that he achieved higher levels by cutting more & more parts from his car with his angle grinder & a diet of rice cooked in old engine oil. </4 </4

It gives me sleepless nights recalling how we actually scrapped some previous 500/126 due to rotten ie. not worth the expense to repair them.......and only kept a few parts for the next ones!!!.....

Hey let's get back to reality that side light thread is getting far too PROBING for me. Normskie , don't bring your work to the forum ! 
& if you catch this Mick , I hope you celebrated your big week with a take away & you now have " Indian Bones @ the Temple of Vroom "

I am slightly confused. Do you own "2 proper motorbikes" in addition to the Cub 90 & the moped, or do you consider the Cub 90 & moped not to be proper?
I hasten to add that I am a proud owner of a  Cub 90, and consider far more manly than much of the two-wheeled rubbish to be found on our roads.

i consider a honda cg125 . and bmw650gs to be proper bikes. apart from i cant ride the latter one cos of some law against me . but funnily enough the bike i ride the most is the honda c90 just cos it never breaks down and runs on fresh air . i like to call them pot pots not bikes
