Fairly substantial grave-dig, but here's us;

4 cars, not counting one recently sold;
•2008 Fiat Punto 1.4 JTD- Mum and brother's car. Kinda fun.
•2003 Ford Falcon RTV ute- Dad's- Nearly impossible to see out of.
•1991 Toyota Landcruiser Diesel- I'd rather not these days, but it's what I drive when required. Thirsty, slow and stupid. I'm not entirely clear why we still have it.
•2008 Winnebago Birdsville- Mum and Dad's. I shall say no more of it.

7 Bikes, although there are probably more hidden beyond sight;

Me;
•2008 Specialized Allez Elite Double
•2008 Giant Reign0
Brother;
•2008 Giant Elwood
Mum;
•2008 Diamondback Wildwood low-step
Dad;
•2004(?) Giant OCR3
•2001 Specialized Rockhopper Comp
•~1980s Specialized Stumpjumper... Steel, looks like the original design.

3 Track Bikes (all three get ridden, two almost daily).
3 "ladies bikes" (step through etc) only one gets ridden at the moment.
1 Singlespeed "Utility" hard rubbish bike missing a bottom bracket and crankset (on one of the track bikes).
3 road bikes in various states of being pulled apart / re-built / converted.

and for the win...

1 1930's Lewis frame set with a Major Taylor stem and bars.

Oh yeah, there's just me and Mrs. Verbs & Nouns.
Update:

A new track bike has been added, two of the road frames have been given away to better homes (with more time to do something with them), another ladies step-through is being cleaned up to sell, and I forgot to include my skateboard.

Wow, do you put the Smart in the boot of the Belair, or does it fit comfortably on the back seat?
:lol: :lol:

It wouldn't fit in the boot, but it sure would fit on the boot.

Also starting up the Belair uses the same amount of fuel the Smart Car uses for a week... haha

G'day

One car
Four bikes, one not mobile. One bike is probably worth more than the car.
