well, you can add another Eurovan to the list.
automatic transmision and fuel injection.
it has ramps right now, but we are looking for a place to get a GOOD lift
installed.
there are plenty of CHEAP lifts available, but they break more often
than a BMW.
we chose it because it had enough head room for wheelchair access
without cutting the roof out and damageing it's structural integrity.
the las VW i owned was a '69 van. it was alot of fun, but i seem to get
alot of experiance at takeing broken engines out and puting rebuilt
engines in.
i don't fault the design or the quality of the rebuilt engines, i bought
running engines and rebuilt them myself. it was just that i am used to
an engine that has alot of torque at low rpm's, and i just couldn't
break old driveing/shifting habits.
since then i have made a point of owning vehicles that would shift
themselves, and then played with the the valve bodies that controlled
shifting.
i started with old caddies and buicks, and worked my way into smaller
and smaller engines.
now i'm down to an odd number of pistons. it has a strange sound, but it
runs well.
i'm also about the only person around that dosn't cuss the memory of the
Qudra-jet carhbarator system. one of the best machines to come out of
the general motors corp.
