Is you car aloof?

Post Reply New Topic

A month ago my little mule was so aloof, that he wouldnt even work, he went on an air locked protest; it turns out that I gotta provide a constant supply of deisel to support his meagre drinking habit of 54mpg, or else he goes on strike.

give your diesel some good TLC and good quality diesel or filtered veggie oil [in the warmer months]. it will thank you.

The conversation with the mechanic was fairly morto
No more abuse for the engine, gotta avoid all that silt getting sucked into it.

Yeah. Tinted windows on a blue station wagon I habitually reverse into parking spots. Gearbox the vast majority of my compatriots don't understand or won't buy. Leather interior and mudguards. Maybe I lose some aloofness points due to bumper stickers but they aren't ones I see hardly anybody else rocking.

British Women tend to have no soul and view Cars as appliances, you will constantly see them in our small car parking spaces open their doors so they bounce off the door of the car they have parked besides, then they push the door even harder so that it no longer bounces off the side of the next car and they can get their fat arses out.

I just spent £20,000 restoring my Classic car, its going to be aloof whether it likes it or not.

wow

No way I would have even started if I knew it would cost that much, but once you have started, you have to either finish, or lose all the money you spent already.
I have had this car since 1992 so probably had my moneys worth already, maybe it will last another 25 years if they havnt been banned by then.

What's your project car?

what kind of car is it? I suppose if I had the coin there is a long list of cars I would love to have in like-new condition. first atop the list would be a VW karmann-ghia. then an AMC pacer dl. then an '88 caddy sedan de ville.

Mine would be a mid 60's lincoln continental w/ suicide doors.

is that like the JFK presidential car?

Yeah, but I'd go with the hardtop variety from The Matrix

purty but I'd prefer it at its standard ride height and coil spring count. gotta have that soft pillowy magic carpet ride.

Don't take my word for it but I think they had factory airbags underneath, or at least many owners added them as that provides the most carpet effect for the money given all that steel upstairs. Perhaps I'm only thinking of the Citroen DS.

from what I've seen the suspension air mechanism didn't arrive until the 1990 models. I've ridden in those and they float over the bumps like a magic carpet. "railroad tracks? what are those?" you float over those also. the only cars that ride better, are the land rover range rover, the citroen DS and the Mercedes benz 560 [uses citroen hydraulic suspension tech].

A friend of mine had a coil-swapped P38 Bosch-managed Rangie HSE. Amazing as it already was, he says the next owner reinstalled the bags.
