All,
Thought I would expose my own personality with my own list:

'77 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1988 (~$1400) current
Australia (Australian dollars)
'78 Toyota Land Cruiser 1989 ($7000) 1991 ($5000)

'77 Honda Civic 1991 ($900) 1993 ($918) [stolen!]
'74 TR6 1991 ($4100) current
'80 Honda Accord 1993 ($900) current
'72 DeTomaso Pantera 1995 ($22000) current
So it appears that my *British* education did not appear till very
late, after my first nearly 20 years of exclusively motorcycles.
I'd always wanted a TR6 (since I first saw one in 1974) and waited
a mere 17 years to get one. I'm hooked now!
