I know most will probably say its their GTI or ED30 but what do people have as their "other" toy?
My daily is the GT but my toy is a Speed Triple 1050.

I've got a few pics of some of the 'toys' I currently play around in.....
My VXR8 which is now running 472bhp and even though it weigh over 1900kg it still did sub 14 seconds down Santa Pod last summer.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fu375%2Fkaybee247%2FVXR8FrontPassengerSideClose.jpg&hash=2ce4ab2f2b5c4cf8bebac7465a82bb04fb6eb267)
Here's my S4 Cab that I got last summer but it's done less than 1500 miles since I bought it in April 2010 and that included driving from Manchester to Surrey and back twice which is around 800-1000 miles roughly so it's now going to get sold to someone who will use it a bit more hopefully.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fu375%2Fkaybee247%2FAudiS4CabFrontDriversCorner.jpg&hash=6a97f7f0cbc3ae2c808d166a3b963c0f52fe5213)
And here's one of my favourite toys. My girlfriend wouldn't let me get a Yamaha R6 and said I'd end up killing myself on it so tried getting a road legal quad but none would be quick enough on the road and also be lots of fun off road at the same time so instead I went for my Polaris RZR which is road legal and I love taking it out to show up most of the off road cars around my way like the Disco's etc :)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fu375%2Fkaybee247%2FMyRZR.jpg&hash=0488fc9ab9ef6dd1e85d1180737477ab22957938)
Appologies about the pics, I don't often take pics of my toys because I'm too busy playing in them to take a camera out with me and when I do I always forget I have it on me until I get back home so most pics I have are from when I buy them off dealers.

Liking the VXR Karl, 1900kg and 13sec 1/4 is impressive :drinking:
-
I don't have one. Daily driver and toy are rolled into my ed30.

Liking the VXR Karl, 1900kg and 13sec 1/4 is impressive :drinking:
I'm not too sure on exact weight etc. All I know is the figures say it's 1850kg but I'm unsure how they get that weight (full tank, 2 people in the car, etc?) but I had a full tank of fuel and 2 people in the car so i'd say it's roughly 1850-1900kg. The only figures I do know for sure is that it's got 472bhp on LS Performance's dyno and that I got 13.8secs on my best run but I only have one leg so don't forget I have to keep it in gear but foot on the brake, wait until the green light comes on (so no anticipating it) and then foot down to the floor so my reaction times were around 0.9s at my best were as I got my mate to do it with his 2 good legs and he obviously could put brakes on, in gear and rev it up so he could get a good start and his times were around 0.3s and with his good start he constantly got around 13.5secs for the 1/4 mile.
It is a nice car and if anyone is every up Warrington way then I'll be happy to take you out in any of the toys, it just gives me an excuse to get it out now the ED30 has turned into the only car I'm actually driving now :) before it came along I drove the VXR8 as my daily driver and changed over to the Insignia if I needed to transport something larger than the boot of the VXR8.
