Oil question

My Kombi is the perfect car for a Motorcyclist, it has a bed and a fridge.

Any motorcycle is better than no motorcycle.

Definitely, besides GS you might want to ride one - they're a
surprisingly good light weight cruiser.

Surely a bicycle is a better option.

I'll go with that.

But can the missus keep up when she has to follow you to rallys in it?

 

I rode one with under 50km on it whilst my bike was in the shop but that
was one of the first loaners I got, so had no real experience to
reference it against.

That said it looked nice. In retrospect it seemed decent as the GT.[1]

[1] This may or may not be a fact, but it is an opinion whether informed
or not

 

Agreed; bicycles make much better bicycles for motorcyclists than Kias do.

 

I had one, loved it but hated working on the donk. I had an old mate
though, that I rode with 25-odd years ago who loved Kombis and actually
had a business fixing 'em. And he was good at it.

Trouble is, I've got this picture in my mind of a lowered, sectioned and
chopped Kombi running a mid-mounted supercharged Commodore V6 so I'm
afraid I couldn't be trusted with another one...

 

I saw one at Warwick once with a V8 hanging half-a-foot out the back so a V6
might just be the perfect fit!!
Top idea!

Shit, don't encourage me!... (I'm thinking smack dab in the middle
behind the side door. Better weight distribution and all that...)

 

Damn, that's close. Just gotta chop and section it now...

 

[shrug] It depends on how serious you wanna' get.
I reckon it'd be a damn fine machine with a standard V6 mated to the VW
gearbox/transaxle.... or you could make a wild-arsed, totally unregisterable
show car.
I'd go the former
(but I have a tendency to set low targets).

I saw one once with a 429 Ford engine mounted like that in it once. I can't
begin to imagine what it was like to drive.

 

And watching it recede into the distance while you sit in a cloud of
tyre smoke....

Can i have a red instead?

 

Geez and you'd still rather a Kia ? Blimey ! (And yes I saw the
smiley, but c'mon ! Not even in jest !!!)

Well yeah OK, but a California is still classed as a cruiser (and
funnily enough the "all rounder pretending to be a cruiser" is pretty
much the only type of cruiser I like

The current model Nevada can get along the twisties quite well I'm
told.

I'm sure it does. If I was to buy a cruiser it would be either a
Guzzi, a Vmax, maybe a kwaka beefsteak (mean streak), the trumpy
america - something that didn't weigh 400Kg with zero ground
clearance.

Although if I had the money I'd rather build one to my own specs - I
know exactly what I'd build - I'd use the Trumpy 1050 triple engine,
put some good running gear on it off a sports bike and make it as
short a wheel base and as light as possible within the constraints of
the styling.
