Subject:      best cars, worst cars...dream cars
Content-type: text/plain; charset=x-user-defined

just decided to get a little personal about the subject... my cars:
the best car I have owned  for the price was a 60 beetle that i bought for
75.$  in 69,  lasted two years and sold it for 50.$... the car I really
liked was a 59 porsche roadster  1600 super (convertible with a light top)
bought it in 66 ...kept it three years . the car I loved the most , an
austin healey sprite 59, bought in 61, kept it five years... broke my heart
when I sold it... now for the worst cars: three VW 1500, two squarebacks and
one sedan, bought them used 71,72,73... worst for the engines, the first
flat engines ??? never understood why german engineers, the best in the
world as what they think of themselves  and I do believe them, could put
such a thing on the market... and keep on building them.   my dream car to
go around the world is still my west, but with a renault engine in it...
never heard of anyone  "going through"  one of these engines, but for the
rest of the renault car, well.... I have been a good reader of this list
since september and really enjoy it, practicing my english...   and still
trying to find out how and why van owners etc etc  are still van owners
after all the problems, the same problems we do have all the time ??? so to
all the readers, members and writers, the bulley, rodgers, marshall,
doktors, per, etc etc, the very best for 2000, health for yourself and your
vans...the rest of all your dreams will follow...
