By died, it still runs... but I'm picking that metal-on-metal grinding noises from inside the cam-belt cover area is not a good sign. (I could get it fixed, but don't tell the wife that. It was the excuse I needed to order the 86!)  |
I had a '91 SV21 as a 'go to work' poverty pack, bought it in '98 and sold in '02 - never missed a beat!! Everyone called it the 'Lady Bowler's Car' - nice bunch of friends I have. Funny, 23km each way to work back then and every day to pass the time I'd count SV21's, most trips it would be 15-20 I would see
My 'estimated delivery' just moved back from 8 Feb to 11 Feb, but who cares - given the devasting floods in the region where my Dealer is, I would prefer them to prepare and deliver vehicles to those dependent on a work vehicle to make a living, many lost their cars in flash flooding
What's a few days after waiting 7 months? nothing at all!!
