Geez, I must be getting old, I remember reading a road test on a Van Veen back in the 1970's, another "what might have been" story I guess, although having owned a Mazda RX2 for awhile I'm not sure I could afford the fuel bill, those old rotaries make big V8's look positively fuel efficient! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

That´s why there are only 3km on the clock.

US$ is getting stronger towards the Euro. Today, more than 1.000 $ cheaper than 3 days before! Buy

Ha ha, if we wait long enough, there'll be no such thing as a "Euro" mate! ;D
