Velocipede Salon caravan support car
Well, look at that:
Peugeot : 504 Base Sedan 4-Door in Peugeot | eBay Motors
I'm in for $500. We'll form a corporation and buy it to support our local rides. Imagine how epic we'll be. In all seriousness, these run forever and have nice seats. I drove one from Sweden to Senegal once. It was maroon and not this nice.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
Did someone else spend too much time trolling through eBay motors today? I mean, besides me.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
It really should be a wagon.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
The seats in Peugeots really are terrific. Best in any vehicle of the era - maybe best ever.

No, pre-1993 Saab 900. Totally unimprovable, and infinitely adjustable recline.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
I'd be in but that car might not make it on some of the sections of Ballers. Not that they're not tough, but there are a couple sections where a truckish vehicle is desirable. Still, yeah, it would be extremely cool. Roof rack. Mechanic hanging out the window. Driver with Gaulloise cigarettes. The usual stuff I have on my rides, but with a French flair now.

Needs the steel skid plate under the transmission mod. That's a lot of brittle alloy hanging low and waiting for a howdy from a big rock to puncture it. Front lower control arms prone to cracking and like to snap at full lock (ask how I know).

Saab 900s are generally useless. But they have good seats, that's all.

Saab 900s are like the tents in Harry Potter - much bigger inside than outside! The aft end of those vehicles is not much smaller than the aft end of my GMC Yukon. They can hold a LOT of stuff.

No, 1969 Buick Electra 225, o-k-a, the Deuce-and-a-Quarter. Bench seat up front, back seat in a different time zone, and a trunk so big it had its own weather system.

You basically _made_ me do it. The Toppola:

Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
The Toppola is proof that the winter in Sweden is about 4 months too long.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
An ALFA would be way better.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
Big love from the tall guy. We like it.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
60k miles on a 34 y.o. car? That's incredible. I wonder if that's a typo.

Or just a lie?

I'll donate $250 plus three warm Bud Calmetto tall boys. On the condition that they must be kept in the glove box for emergencies.
Re: Velocipede Salon caravan support car
what sort of emergency do you figure that swill is good for? You would be exponentially increasing the chances that a french car would catch on fire by having that on board.
