IIRC the Chinese are still making BMW pattern sidecar outfits as well, you can get them as issued WW2 spec- or with modern drivetrain.
Germany sold the Ruskis the earlier BMW motorcycle factory pre WW2.
Later, when the Ruskis over ran Germany in the Great Patriotic War, they took the newer BMW factory back to Russia, then the Ruskis swapped the earlier factory with the Chinese for a heap of food.
If I was going to buy another motorcycle- it would be one of these versions- at least they have some character!
As for cars- MB, or GPW for daily driving, GPA or Universal Carrier for back up.
anything like that will do me.

If I had $40k I'd buy my van again but get it in diesel, auto and with cruise control!
Then spend the change on some masts
Look to the states
Bloke i know bought a Tostarossa(Ferrari) for about $50k and shipped it here, he was after a penis enlargment too, sweet car
PM me if ya interested and i can find out exactly what hoops he had to jump
i'm with ben here.... my car. at $30K new (45K less than a new troopy), it left me with some change for the cage, canopy and big tyres.
Goes off road, sleep in there and with a 2.5m tray it fits all the gear and a wet dog. ticks all the boxes.
I broke down and laid a deposit down for a 2012 KTM 990 SM-T today
Half the price of $40k, but twice as fun
the canvas is supposed to be for a swag
why are we talking about a cayenne, $40K wouldn't even pay for the plastic surgery, solariums and teeth whitening required to drive one
i use swags all the time, nothing better than being under the stars. but when the weather turns or the mozzies are out the ute canopy is the place to sleep.
"what a pussy, sleeping INSIDE a navara" Huh, is this a joke i don't get? if not that's pretty rich from a dude that gets round in a Landyacht...
Got a car from my mates daughter because she upgraded (as they do at that age)
for $400. Gets us to work and back no dramas.
That would make it $39600 for other things...
I feel I've achieved all the things I've set out to do - I've managed to live far longer than I thought I would and now .... I don't really know.
I'm just existing and slowly turning invisible. I don't have that thing inside of me driving me. Sure I have goals to get much fitter, lose some weight, and buy a property on the coast, but I'm not driven - like I used to be. The only way I can reconcile or explain my feelings is I must be having another Mid Life Crisis - which is how I opened the thread.
Maybe buying a Porche Cayenne could help me turn that corner.
