Icon17 Beautiful spring day

Weather is finally nice and sunny after a lot of rain for weeks. Took my old wagon out for a nice drive around the countryside this afternoon (after fixing my shifter had some trouble getting it into first)

That's not a car.... that's a tank. You're not fooling all of us.

Nice day in the country! Remember to park on a hill and use gravity to take off in 2nd gear. In college I went a month without a starter using this method :)

Beautiful spring day

Did you use a 1.6mm hollow ground driver?

We are also enjoying the first really warm day since Spring sprung- 76°F and sunny. Rains come tomorrow

Left my V70 in garage and did some walking miles instead - but this would’ve been the best day to visit our nearby mountains methinks.

Compared to what is on the road here in europe these days... this is indeed a tank

Enough torque to start in 2nd gear even if it's flat, smelling clutch is a good thing, right?

My watchmaking tools were useless for once
Always good to do some walking

Thanks!
It has a few spots and small dents, but considering it is 27 years old and has 254.000km on the odometer it looks pretty good

We have something in common Bas.

My old Jag is 28 years old and has 268000km on it.
