A nice little bicycle with a bell, basket, and luggage rack. Gets about 30 miles per bowl of curry.

Nah, I am a curry fan. Rice is good by itself, but curry is pure ambrosia.
Plus... that is what I drive every day.....
And yes, I do ring my bell while humming the song 'Bicycle' by Queen.

AWESOME. Japanese curry is The Best Food Ever. It's disappointing that most Japanese restaurants around here don't serve it, have to go to Japantown in San Francisco to get some. And no where can I get curry bread.

Pictures? How does one take pictures when one is stunned into complete muteness? But ask my wife-she saw them too!

Did those wheels come with the house? Repurposing is a great way to recycle!

I took that picture back in 2004, when I was still in college. Yes.. it's a small college town, everything can happen.

On this fine note, I think I will take my little Japanese bike (which is way too small for a guy of my height), ride down the street, and have a big bowl of Japanese curry. Mmmm... oh so good.
Though on the downside... I'll kill a man for some decent mexican food around here. Seriously.
Oh, and because this is a weird car thread.... I saw this a couple of weeks ago.

Sold my Nissan 350Z last month, was starting to cost a little too much in petrol and only having 2 seats was getting a little impractical - had it for 12 months, deffo the most fun car i've ever owned!:
Replaced it with a comfy 4 seater drop top - Audi A4. Very slow compared to the Zed, but a great cruiser - nice now the weather is warming up! :

since this isn't _too_ far off topic, could anyone who speaks japanese please translate something for me.
this image is of the new Toyota Yaris. I really like the wheels but have no idea of the make or model rims. I assume that it is the line that starts with 16, since the fm901 later in that line are the tires.
Could someone please translate and tell me what make and model they are?
Thank You.

You should have gotten this
0-60 in 4.9 seconds would have put the smack down on your Z

Messerschmidt Kabinenroller......not that bad to be mobile in the city. And pretty obvious that they borrowed their own design for that one

Yeh - i only drive short b road commutes - the Zed drank at 18mpg.
The Cab is a 1.8Turbo, so getting about 27+ with petrol prices as they are it saves me a few quid each month!
Could only dream of owning the RS4 - would kill most things on the road - a beast!
