RIP Fritzie- Hello Anika

[LUVMBDiesels]

Fritzie the long suffering BMW 528e finally died. Her computer went and she will not run any longer. I thought about scrounging another one, but at 26 years old and suffering from a series of ills, she was just not daily driver material any longer.
So

I have strayed from the cause of 1980's German Autos and bought the wife a 1995 Volvo 960.
This car is sweet! Power everything, feels as solid as the SDL (much more so than the e28 ever did) and boy they are right when they say Swedish girls are FAST! hit "SPORT" mode on the transmission, hit the gas and she takes off!
This car is everything a high-end luxury-sport car should be.
She has 24 valve 2.9 liter engine (with over 60 HP more than the 528e's 2.8 liter six) and is one of the last rear wheel pre-Ford Volvos made. With 140k miles on her she should last a few years. I think I might look for another one once Rudy hits 375K and retire him to Sunday Driver status

The sad thing is that Fritzie, whom I always wanted to convert to a track car, has to go. If anybody wants an e28 parts car or one that could be running again PM me. I am going to donate it, so if you want her and can trailer it from Suffern, NY she is yours...
