Oh, Yeah! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Less imported oil = more freedom!
 
I mostly drive a Trek but when I need to use an auto I drive a Honda. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I finally took the time to get an account with an image host, so here they come.
For work and family trips I drive an Opel Astra Sport Edition, bought new exactly three years ago, has now 28,000 km on it.

For fun I ride an Intruder 800 motorbike, bought new in 1997, has now 22,400 km on it.

For short trips and work on a nice day I use a bicycle. It's a Gazelle Orange Limited Edition with 7-speed and automatic battery powered front and rear led light. I have it for three months now and it has only got 350 km on it.

I drive a... minivan. A 1994 Chrysler Town and Country. It sucks. Well, it's not a horrid vehicle, it has AWD, the air conditioner works, and it still runs ok despite 160K miles on it.

But... it's a minivan. And it's way too big, very annoying to park, and the fuel economy isn't the greatest. Plus, it's a minivan.

I'd buy something better, but alas, cars are expensive.

Frangible, 'da Saab replaced a 92' Town & Country. As minivans go they're nice, but in the end they're still minivans.

diesel volvo, in the usa? does such a beast exist? or ever did?

Yup. They are just hard to find as there weren't all that many imported. I'm hoping to find one where I live since Volvos are almost a dime a dozen in Bellingham. I asked my wife to start looking around for me for a decent one and to have the place she gets hers worked on to keep an eye out. Hopefully I'll get lucky and find one. A bit expensive to repair and engine parts might be a little harder to find, but the engine itself shouldn't really have too many problems. They, like the Mercedes diesels last forever.

And to update my last post, now I'm not driving anything except a Surburban once in a while around post since I switched jobs. Now I get to search a few hundred cars, light trucks and vans every day. Oh joy. Lots of locals have some terrible cars, and most of these are the ones owned by their employers. Not fun to climb under a marked company truck to have hot oil or antifreeze drip on you.
 
My sister took her Volvo to the dealer to have some work done. Nothing wrong with that, some of it was 'dealer work.' That stuff wasn't even that expensive.

The problem came when she let them fix a bunch of little things I could have easily done for 1/10th of the expense! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
 
I dont have any pics now ,but I drive an Opel Astra 1.7 Turbodiesel and a Ford Transit van 2.5 Diesel for work,this is the european version from the Econoline 150., of course the Transit diesel sounds like a Mack truck... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif
 
I thought you guys were flashaholics? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Here's my 2000 Subaru Impreza RS2.5 with some lights on...

Well until tomorrow night I've been driving a 1992 SX Celica
17" Wheels, Sports exhaust, Bare Metal Re-Spray, Full VeilSide Body Kit! ........ and 250,000Kms
Its been on the market for about 8 months!
Its sad ...But its finally SOLD

Not sure what I'll be driving from tomorrow!
 
2008 Fiat Bravo - 150bhp 1.9 Multijet diesel, 130mph and 50mpg, all in Italian style 😀

Also have a 1986 Ford Capri in the garage - 2 litre Pinto, 100bhp, 110mph, about 20mpg... damn good looking car though! 😎
 
Things have changed a bit since my last post here!

Daily driver's now a 2009 Peugeot 107 Verve. Sensible little car for what I need, plus a bit of fun.

Also have a fun toy for the weekend - which unfortunately as my server's down at the moment I don't have a photo handy of.

1994 Suzuki Cappuccino. Reckon this is a case of the engineers going a little bit nuts. They've gone for a simple formula: Four wheels, two seats, enough bodywork to contain said components, added a complete nutter of a 650cc three cylinder engine between the front wheels, then bolted a turbocharger to it just for good measure. Never had a car with a rev counter that went up to 12K before...

Practicality? None whatsoever...fantastic fun though.
