> > (PS - I'm also glad to read not everyone in PW land is driving an Audi or > Lexus) I'll go one better - 1978 toyota corolla with homemade roof racks and homemade cradles. A bit of bomb but utterly reliable and simple to work on even for a mechanical ignoramus like me. Wreckers yards are littered with them so parts are cheap and easily available I once had a newer car and it was a pain. Expensive to fix, electronic bits etc. I could write this car off tomorrow and, financially, it wouldn't really matter in the scheme of things Sold it, bought the corolla ($AUS1500) and a hand built recumbent bicycle ($AUS3000), and pocketed the difference. nick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Oct 25 1999 - 17:07:38 PDT
