Indeed wow, a hell of a lot of work has gone into that. I wish the underside of my truck looked as clean as that but instead, no, some fecker parked it in the sea for three years before I got it .
That truly is a thing of beauty; pointless and unuseable, but none-the-less, beautiful.
Why is it pointless and unuseable?
This is my daily driver:
It runs on LPG and is cheaper per mile than my Surf. Parts are easily available and the common service parts are cheaper than for the Surf.
It's been 100% reliable in the 5 years I've owned it, the only time it's ever let me down was because of dodgy aftermarket brake shoes (half way across Saskatchewan the lining detached from one of the shoes and jammed under the other one).
Sure I can't park it in the same spaces where a Ford Focus would fit, but neither can I with the Surf. But it will carry six people and their luggage in comfort.
I've driven my Dodge the whole way across Canada from West coast to East, then from Cambridge to car shows in Vasteras Sweden, Antwerp Belgium, Le Mans France and all over the UK as well as the mundane stuff like commuting to work and shopping. I love my Surf, but it's very much my second car and in many ways, the less practical one.
I remember the early Monaco which was more like an elogated box from about the mid sixties. They were quite a popular car. Love the sound of that V8. I had a '59 Ford Customline for awhile. This was a cross between the Fairlane and the Galaxy. I can remember the Studebaker Hawk and also the Commander. These were really great cars.
the other is nice and shiny and clean and all that but it is not me, apart from the brakes dont actually work in the older models and you dont stop......
that is just a show car and besides the first time you take it on english roads it will wreck it.
