yay, my mileage creeps upwards

I am possibly getting alloy wheels for the Wagon in the summer

Wouldn't a servo motor on the throttle be a better idea ?

Then you could have a wire from the brake and a switch on the clutch that will return the motor to neutral.

However, I don't think that it would be worth the time and effort, cruise control is good, but a thoughtful driver with a good right foot is better.

[Fingie]

a servo would also be nice, but if it jams, not so much thrilled about the throttle jamming.

a solenoid system could also work

[Fingie]

and you got a point. I just think DWL would be a lot easier if I had cruise

I DWL with my mom's V70 2,4 (Au)Tomato w/cruise. That thing drinks 20MPG.

Lada is roomy for sure. A Volvo 850's 2,3 inline-5 with it's automatic gearbox. was bit of a hassle to get out

If I can get a job, i'll buy a camper van and drive to the south finland for work.

there is more work, but living there is more expensive.

You don't need a camper van when you have yourself a kombi :P

[Fingie]

I could buy a enclosed trailer or build myself one for that.

How's the weather in Sweden?

Did you say Kombi?


Spotted this Westie with Argentinian plates while I went out to buy acarajé (an African snack) in a park near my apartment. While you may be referring to station-wagons in general as "kombi", it gets somewhat confusing to me since in my country only vans are mentioned as "kombi" due to the popularity of the old Volkswagen Transporters...

oooooh, a Westfalia :3 Germans came and bought back almost every single Kleinbus when the berlin wall fell.
