    Volvo 1800ES’s I love too.

    Great recommendations!

    Are these just good lookers or fun too?
    There are several Japanese cars on my list with the 240Z near the top... get one now because JDM cars in general are hot. Also have a fetish for Hakosuka GTR's.

    We owned a completely original 27,000 mile 1800ES... after a few years we tired of it. Lovely car to look at with the driving qualities of a tractor. Featured in the VSA magazine once, it went back to Sweden.

    We recently sold both my CSL and our last E9, a 3.0CS and decided we still need a BMW in the garage, so pulled the trigger yesterday on this:

    One owner, low mile, original paint all records Euro M635csi in a good color with every option... can't wait for delivery. Great GT cars, probably shoulda bought one years ago!

    Full-size Short-bed Regular Cab Pick-ups --- Euros won't get this but, here in North America, these are your basic gym bag-cum-tool box-slash-backpack type vehicle. Thirsty and not-exactly thrifty in-general --- but for most single drivers? . . . just about unbeatable, ultra useable. And also about to go extinct --- seriously . . . most manufacturers only build extra- or crew-cabs, any more. Triple bonus points for 4WD



    And --- if you take care of these? . . . preeeetty good chance any of 'em will make you some money when it comes time to sell, IMO.


    And just watch what happens with those reg-cab-four-by trucks --- especially the Toyota
    . . .

    I did it --- got me a truck . . .

    Needs some stuff --- super-charger, anyone? . . . but mostly feels like something I've been wanting/missing for a long time . . .
