Ah the Eurovan, we had a 93 model with the auto and the luxurious 6 disc CD changer.

It would have been better with a TDI motor. Doesn't it have a 109hp 5 cylinder or something like that? I remember it being in bold font as the slowest to 60 and slowest 1/4 mile speed in R/T magazine for about 10 years!

The 93 is the I5. Ours is the 12V VR6, supposedly more reliable than the 24V.

I was very impressed how they were able to get dealer servicing all over South America.

Still seems like it would be cheaper to fly somewhere and buy a car there. Epic voyage none the less. If you check out the home page on that, they trekked all around the world. Wish I had pockets for that.
