plus side, A1 demonstration of poise and skill while driving in close quarters on a track

CP, If I had 85K and looking for a SUV I'd be buying a Land Rover or possibly some other luxo boat, not a Land Cruiser

few years ago, one of these got the Wheeler Dealer treatment, turned out pretty good, as long as no tin worm in bad places, it should be a good car. Driven several in my life and they all were amazing little cars. Could drive them at 9/10ths on the road and have a blast, NP

Why Can't Saab Survive?

I'm going to say CP, you can get more modern diesel bus from auctions for much much less and do something cool like this with it. http://steampunkworkshop.com/bus1.shtml

Merkur XR4Ti , Saab 900SPG, T-Bird Turbo Coupe, SVO Mustang (4cyl Turbo) sense a theme?

I'd pay half of that for a similar one with the rear still in place, need a college hauler for the kids once the wife ditches the SUV for something smaller now that we're downsizing

that's only because in the 4th decade of his career, Weird Al is still relevant

if I had a museum with a section as a tribute to quirky swedes, NP, otherwise I want something with a little less pedigree for weekend flogging

An absolute classic. Take one Volkswagen Type 2, send it over to the guys at Westfalia and you end up with one of the most versatile campers ever made. Especially cool are the 4WD Syncro vans, so you can take your Westy conversion anywhere.

Midsized Wagon (Jetta, TSX, etc) because 1. Grandkids, 2. Projects

the sad thing is that the Mondeo that this car and the X Type is built on , is a reasonable, bland 4 door with good reliability.....

TG:UK commentary.. "Honey, I shrunk the espace!"

It doesn't however, the Rampage is an east-wester, and in this case the mill has been rebuilt just 25K ago. Which engine is that? Well, with no pics it's hard to say. It could be the 62-horse 1.6-litre from the aforementioned Simca, or Chrysler's own 2.2-litre 85-pony job. Whichever, it's backed up here by a manual…

The styling of these little haulers has always been kind of odd. The nose of this later edition is a faithful reproduction of the Chevy Monza from a decade earlier, and it sticks out on an overhang that might lead you to believe the car has its engine sitting north-south.

completely ruined Ghia for 18k? CP all day, all night, all week

Cheaper than the Flex, with slightly better room is the Freestyle/Taurus X that it was based on, and they are all XC90 variants.... which includes the current Explorer

Sadly, there aren't. EDS is part of HP and perotsystems is now part of Dell. but I would bet that the corp culture is still strong there. I haven't worked for perotsystems in 7 years, but I still have my management and project manuals to refer to on my book shelf

Perot was hot on hiring ex military folks for a long time, based on the philosophy that they had been taught how to learn and how to follow orders, so the rest was easy. To this day there many ex mil in executive positions at perotsystems (now Dell) and EDS . One of the reasons the Iran stunt worked was that he had…

there isn't much Ross wouldn't do for his employees, the best example is that he had Ross Jr Helicopter an employee back and forth to a heart treatment center every day so that employee could spend the night with his family at home. The standard line from any manager if you walked into his office and said you had a…
