The interior,

This is a factory pic, but I have the identical interior. 6 speed manual tranny as well.

Thanks!

It goes well with the Alembic Black Byrd. And it's just as dangerous!

I toyed with the idea of getting one of these last year. But once I started to check them out and realised it had a 4.0 Litre V6 petrol engine and fuel consumption about 20mpg, suddenly it became a non starter because of the high fuel prices we have here.

I'll stick with my smart car. :-)

Looks like we need an Alembic custom build with a car theme sometime in the future!

My new ride:

Replaced my third Jeep.

I can't go off-road or haul much more than A$$ now so it's a good thing I've been able to get by with using smaller bass & guitar rigs for my current projects.

From one of Toyota's global websites, 'Land Cruncher' history:

. . . . and it's currently-available-elsewhere grandson:

. . . . but instead, we get several different Prius and Hybrid Camrys. How fortunate . . .

Actually, too many wheels. Here are two (unfortunately I've got to pick one or the other) incoming contacts on the DEW radar:

1) The very embodiment of Billy Joel's 'Looks Old, Works New'. Fits Jay Leno's 'I like motorcycles I can see through' mindset. I'm old enough to remember this one's inspiration(s), and thrilled that there is no bank of four carburetors to synch:

2) Soichiro Honda himself thought a Vee 4 was the perfect engine for a motorcycle. Who am I to disagree? Halfway between the CB above and a Fireblade (CB1000RR on this side of the pond), a GT instead of a personal cruise missle: I'm too old enough to scare myself.

Gee . . . . big red motorcycles !
