Perhaps I was not clear in my other post regarding NG900 Turbo's - very heavy expenses keeping them going and not really worth it considering the platform. It is one thing to keep a 9000 Aero with the full leather package and all the bells and whistles on the road at 125 quid minimum visits - quite another for a NG900 that nobody feels is worth the lolli to even swipe much these days. As to V6 - avoid at all costs - over here it is actually cheaper to re-ring and gasket a Mercedes than to simply do the timing belt (a rubber belt) on the V6. Which you need to do every 25,000 according to the book. The great advantage of the early non-DI NG900 bone stock NA is the engine rather than the platform - in that it truly is *reliable* under the hood. It trades that off for a lot suspension and cabin wise, but it is really very OK as a no-fuss no-dash lumpy looking daily that rusts away quietly about the time you'll become interested in one of those hoopy cooper Mini's from BMW on the used market about 4 years from now. As to maintaining the greater marriage. Yes - you will at least have to put the Celica in the paper before making noise about a 9000. Which again, despite the piercing look, is the SAAB you and her want to end up with at current prices if you can. I strongly suggest you waste some car dealers time over the next little while and take the missus out in a couple of reasonably clean 9000's. Yes, it is big, but it drives relatively small and one or two good whiff's of that recarro leather - you might have a good chance at talking her into one. Any continental arrangement is a difficult three way relationship even with a progressively minded long term marriage. Bringing in new Scandinavian beauty before the Lotus blossom has been at least given notice could well be considered a little much - considering her obvious generosity of nature regarding your ongoing dalliances with several sultry foreign ladies so far... .. :) .. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Stevie Ray Vaughn - Wing http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/056.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time
