"A car that I love and will keep forever!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing serious really.

Suspension was a mess back when I got it.

Engine was passing some oil, fixed it real cheap.

Regular maintenance avoids ugly surprises.

General comments?

Incredibly tough little car that still takes an 800 km beating in a single day when I visit El Paso, TX. I did that trip 9 times last year (2005).

I love the fuel economy it gives for such an old car: 13km/Lt. It does 100 km/h no sweat.

Not the most beautiful nor comfortable car from that era, but fun to drive, easy to fix, and certainly on its way to become a classic.

"It does 100 km/h no sweat."

- 100 KM/H = about 62 MPH. You must love going slow!!!

If you wanted to fly around at 90mph everywhere then you wouldn't get one in the first place. The point is that they have no problems keeping up with freeway traffic, unlike many older cars about, as well as fools I see in newer cars who love doing 50mph (why...why???) My 12 sits on 110km/h (70mph - this is the speed limit on Australian interstate freeways) up hills with no problems, it just starts to get a little scary over 140...
