^^^ V10 TDI?

Zero chance, haha... it's a second-gen, which were V6 gas or V6 TDI only.

Had a customer come in for service on his manual GTS 4.0... I took it for a scientific evaluation with him. What. A. Car.

OK not quite the weekend but this pristine low spec Volvo 740 caught my eye. Such a clean sensible design that still looks good today 38 years later... I wonder if any of the sedan designs today will look this good 38 years down the road. This thing was pristine. No rust and a manual. red block Volvo for the win. Perhaps I should have left my name and number.

I don't think that design is great. To my eyes anyways.

Reminds a bit of a Delta 88 or Plymouth Acclaim LOL [emoji38]

Sorry!

Only eurotrash stuff gets compliments for blandness. LOL [emoji38]

Yeah perhaps design was the wrong word. A better description would be "a marvel of practical engineering.". A great example of a everything you need and nothing you don't. Built like brick poophouses. I can't think of the last time I saw one of it's contemporaries on the road (Audi 5000, Saab 900 or 9000, BMW 528e, Pontiac 6000Euro Sport...

I still see 7 series daily and most have little corrosion. Still going about daily tasks over 35 years later.

Things that are neat: RWD, 32 foot turning radius.

Looks are fleeting but things such as a 5 bearing crank or a zinc dipped body is a thing of beauty..

And a great old ad

Attended the World of Wheels for the first time in about fifteen years. Saw lots of great cars, including this 1964 Imperial.

Didn't take a picture because it looks like a pickup truck.

Why do those wheels look cambered? Optical illusion?

Arthur Dent · « **Reply #1616 on:** April 08, 2023, 06:35:04 pm »

Optical illusion I think. Would be a trick to get that level of camber on a live axle.

ktm525 · « **Reply #1617 on:** April 09, 2023, 02:07:29 pm »

Looks like a bad photoshop.

Ok, I saw it today, not the weekend, a nice looking E30 325iX Touring at NAPA today.

I'd have taken a picture, but the owner was there cursing it for spewing coolant.

Sounds about right.

Those AWD ones must be fairly rare.
