I have been looking at the SAAB 900S 16 valve. Has something like 150HP with a 5 speed manual....oh yes. And I lvoe the Aerodynamic design in the loads of room.

123C...sadly enough the second Audi you showed...the 5000 wagon...appealed to me more than the first one! It's so funky and big..always admired the 5 speeds like that...I thought the cast iron fives were real reliable?

380SE: I like the old Subaru Loyale wagons ALOT! Especially with a 5 speed and with 4WD...very nice...very rusty though.

BTW...the 240D starts like a charm now...Power Service Diesel Treatment has boosted the cetane big time and now starts down to about 15 degrees after sitting overnight...had a compression check done and all 4 cylinders are ok according to the mechanic.

My friend Jeff has a 1980's Subaru BRAT 4wd truck hybrid thing. It's like a small El Camino. That car is really cool.

Lastly, any of you like the old 1983-1991 Toyota and Mistubishi vans? I call them "Space shuttle vans" or "Taliban Vans" because they are all pointy at the front and every news report from Afghanistan shows one of these....sadly enough I wanted one of these before I had my Benz...it was white too..and matched. My friend scot just bought a 500 dollar 300D Euro that looks just like mine (white w/ white hubcaps) Having a convoy with two White Benzes at front and back witht he white Taliban van in the middle would be a scene right out of Beiruit circa 1980's

I went on a rant...I am sorry and will be quiet now..
