    70's cars and bikes

    Not only do I like 70's and 80's Disco music, iIalso like cars and bikes from that period.
    I have a small collection of them:
    1973 Kawasaki MachIV (The Widdow Maker....) with three period expansion pipes...
    1985 Ducati MHR ( prototypes dates from the early 70's)

    1985 Alfa Romeo GTV-6 (first drawings 1967)
    1988 Pontiac Firebird Formula ( KnightRider, thirdgen Firebird dates from end seventies).

    These are of course not my daily drivers...!!
    And when working on them, there's Disco music in my garage, what else...??

    Who else here got interesting cars/bikes?
    DISCO...that's where the happy people go....!!!

    Re: 70's cars and bikes

    Well, unfortunately no cars for me, as I live in Paris now, and don't have the patience to sit around in traffic all day (yeah, it's that bad, and getting worse by the day), so I zipped around for years on Vespas .
    I currently own a 1989 PX200E (210 cc), and a 1986 T5 (172 cc, very fast scooter). But they sit in the back of my garage since I bought a new Triumph Speed Triple 3 years ago (a real head-turner, and great fun to drive). I store a 1979 P200E in L.A., which I use each time I go back home, as I've found it's more fun than, and as fast as driving a car, especially in hot weather.
    I'm currently looking to find an italian, pre-1971 Lambretta GP200, and to get another Sportsbike, either an Aprilia RSV 1000 R, or a Ducati 1098 S.

    But I'd love to get a '74 or '76 Chevy Monte Carlo, a '77 Caddy Eldorado, a '75 Corvette Stingray, and probably more than a dozen other US models from the '70s. Unfortunately, availability in these parts, space, and simple issues like getting from point A to B QUICKLY prevent that dream from coming true...

    Great, so you can visit the Foire Du Thrône :icon_biggrin:

    I always loved that Alfa model! Rent "Bobby Deerfield" where Pacino is driving it through Italy, beautiful movie!
