Sort of with you there. I used to get very excited about cars, and I've definitely spent way too much time and money on them over the years.
But now, increasingly, I'm really only concerned about whether they are suitable/comfortable/reliable enough to transport me, my family/friends and, in particular my/our mountain bikes, to interesting places where I/we can ride them.
Maybe it's a function of my age, or where I live, or just changing times, who knows, but the concept of just going out for a drive for no reason other than the drive itself, is no longer much of a thing for me.
The old question of what would be my "money no object" car is quite easy to answer now, it wouldn't be a track day car, a supercar, or a limousine, it would be a spacious, comfortable estate of some kind. Very similar in fact to what I have now.
Not that I wouldn't enjoy a drive round a track in someone else's fast car now and then of course!
Same with motorbikes, it occurs to me that more often than not now, mostly on a Sunday morning, you see slightly lonely looking middle aged blokes lurking in a layby having a smoke, standing next to their over specified motorbike, apparently wishing that someone would talk to them.
