noit a daily driver, unless things go really right for the first time in years. I still have the passat for most driving.
This is a toy, I always wanted one. I got a real toy one after extended stay in a hospital as a child. I enjoy driving, and this thing is so very basic it's fun. I have to plan all my turns, my stops and hills, never for a minute can I sit back and relax.
I bought it a two weeks before easter, 15 hours on a rebuilt diesel. Drove it home, 305kms or 200 miles, 3 blocks away the engine spun a main bearing and some other fun damage. bought a replacement engine form a faster more powerful one and sawpped it in on Easter weekend, and the cost of the engine broek me so I had to leave it sitting for the last 6 months. Breaks my heart to see it sit. I repainted the cab interior and did some small work, but still needs some work for mechanical safety. got new tie rods coming, so maybe in a few weeks I can take it to a shop and have it on the road
