Like Formula Jr. You can drive a BMC 1172cc and kick butt or drive a Stanguellini with Fiat power and wave to everyone as they pass you. Both ways are fun.

Replying to: michaell (Nov 10, 2008 1:49 pm) That beat up Accord hatchback in the photo (I called it silverfish silver) was bought by me at a public auction (before I was in the car biz) for $350. I drove it for about 5 months, daily, puttting maybe 3000 miles on it (it had 335k kms/200k+ miles when I got it iirc), and I didn't even do an oil change on it and had to put in zero dollars other than gas.   I taped some bicycles on the roof on a camping trip, I played bumper cars with my buddy's beater Tercel, and this car was indestructible. A day before I traded it in one of the front wipers stopped working.   One of my favorite cars I've ever owned. Replies to this message: lemmer (Nov 10, 2008 2:27 pm) boomchek (Nov 10, 2008 5:44 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 10, 2008 2:06 pm) What did you get for it as a trade in? Replies to this message: boomchek (Nov 10, 2008 5:44 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Nov 07, 2008 6:45 pm) Nice selection again....   The Peugeot looked fun - rare here, too, but probably still running in rural France... Opel Sportwagon - we only got that as an Ascona Wagon, with more mundane kit on it... Great Dodge, and I liked the Olds Starfire The Bristol must be nearly unique with you - they are good cars, though - and reliable with American engines...
