I thought that depended on whether the trike was car or bike based - car based no helmet, bike based -helmet

nah - a trike's a trike's a trike - it doesn't matter whether the rear axle is VW or Triumph based ... no helmet but to be honest I would fall out of a trike cos there is no way I could corner with leaning!

I'd take Piskie's Triumph (drool) over a fancy car anyday.

Mind, if I were offered a TVR Tuscan Spider, I likely wouldn't turn it down. Ideally I just want a wee van though.

As a car fanatic I must say this isn't just "for the boys"! sorry guys! By the way, what is your fave supercar? Have to say mine is the McLaren F1. I've got a copy of the history books of the car and a model on the mantlepiece! Nearest I'll ever get to having one! What about you? Bernie aka DDL

Hundreds of cars I'd have if I had the money.

Have never been much of a fan of things that originate from Merka, but I have to say the era of the muscle car, they were untouchable.

In my garage I'd have:

1967 Pontiac GTO
http://www.customclassicgto.com/imag...FPBO3DcyQi.jpg

1965 Corvette Stingray
http://www.familycar.com/classics/Im...teStingray.jpg

1967 Chevy Camaro
http://images.superchevy.com/events/...enger_Side.jpg

1967 Lincoln Continental
http://files.windingroad.com/newsupl...02/ecf3_12.JPG

But there are also plenty of "current" cars I'd have:

Carerra GT
http://carwallpapers.hu/wallpaper/po...T%20-%2001.jpg

Alfa 8C
http://files.windingroad.com/newsupl.../alfa-8c-1.jpg

Masarati Quattroporte
http://image.automotive.com/f/exotic...ront-right.jpg

and so on, and on, and on..........
