damn man thats harsh news but as art says at least it was before you got it, you'd be gutted if it was now & you'd have got it on saturday!

BTW don't get that aerostar thing, thats worse than a fiat multipla!

Bummer Mate I'm gutted for you !
I was really looking forward to a gathering of the three Astromigo's !
Remember my Dodge ?
Just make sure you don't rush into anything , now's the time of year to have a good look around.

New owners got fed up with it too?

Had me worried for a minute there !
It's almost exactly the same as ours was , just a slightly diffent window design.
The 3.9 V6 has one major fault , in that it is only a three speed auto.
This means that it is reving it's nuts off at 40/45 mph waiting to change up to third gear.
It also means that you get no more than 18 mpg when cruising , not forgetting all the things that fall off.
Learnt the lesson years ago , if you buy a dud , sell it ASAP cos it'll just cost you a packet later on !

yeah, i'm 50/50 as to what i'm doing right now, i'm either gonna keep stashing money asside and look early next year, or just spend the money on improving the camaro and stay with a tent.

dave did however offer me a short wheelbase G20 panel van,  no interior, just a van.. same money, but not really what i want..

(305 / 3 speed auto)

That's a really nice colour combination , still the short arse version though

philoldsmobile

thats what i want, remember, space is very restricted here, so it needs to be a low top shorty..
