505 is no longer worthy of his name...

"505Turbeaux" (505turbeaux)
10/13/2014 at 11:20 • Filed to: None

but I am keeping it anyways. Sold my 4 italian and french cars this weekend. The herd has been thinned before winter. This leaves me with a German wagon (picked up a parts 4matic wagon though Saturday), a korean coupe with a busted clutch, and a pink Buick Invicta wagon. And a whole bunch of money to spend bringing over something from the Fatherland. Not sure what yet, it isnt going to be a Golf Country like I wanted (too small). Maybe a home market W124 wagon with cloth, a stick and a small diesel, maybe a BX 4x4 break. I am not sure. I will consult OPPO though before purchase. It was time and I had offers lined up. Now I don't have to worry about space when the snow flies

I feel like you need some kind of fun 4x4.

but odd ball, an XJ or an S10 just isn't right for you.

I was really hoping you were going to get a Golf Country.

is that an electric water pump motor? I like! Also I used to work for Dick and Rick Moroso back in college in the warehouse. Pretty fun times there!

yea but you can lift/offroad/drive over giant mounds of snow in an Eagle

I am in process of lifting one of the 4matic wagons though! (rendered here by Milky)

yeah that's weird/different but we both know it won't have the endless capability of the eagle.

You sold 4 cars this weekend???

Fuck mate! I've been trying to sell one motorcycle for four months! Whats your secret?

Very cool that you worked for Moroso. Not so cool that their electric water pumps are crap (or used to be).

yup, might not get it that high but close, and with a top light bar instead of the bull bar

it is true. All the Eagles up here are JUNK though. There is a nice SX/4 that comes out for the winter though

505Turbeaux > CAR_IS_MI
10/13/2014 at 11:45

I have collected all of the offers I have gotten for the past 2 years and started making calls to see who still wanted them!

505Turbeaux > Party-vi
10/13/2014 at 11:45

huh wild. I used to know the whole R+D team there and they were thorough as can be. Wonder who is still left?

The want is so strong for a winter SX/4

Kinja'd!!!

It was a specific type from almost a decade ago. Never seemed to get it to work correctly.

10/13/2014 at 11:51

ugh lame. That is some bullshit when people are going to run this on your $20K big block build.

Party-vi > 505Turbeaux
10/13/2014 at 11:54

This one was on a hot 350 build. Most people don't trust them (electric pumps) because the older ones would just stop working. The current ones are awesome though - I really like Meziere products.

10/13/2014 at 11:56

If I ever had one of these on my car I would want the option to put a small aux (limp home) belt on it to get home with. Otherwise you are screwed on the side of the road

BX 4x4 break? Do it :) especially if it's a 16v (did they all come in 16v guise or did they do 4x4 ones with other engines?).

There comes a time when thinning the herd is best. I look forward to hearing about whatever you acquire, and about the process, because I want to bring in a T3 Doka Syncro.

My friend wasnt able to do it this weekend due to travel. He should be back in a few days if it is still around!

I dont know yet on the 16v or not. I will let you know!

505Turbeaux > RallyWrench
10/13/2014 at 12:30

doka syncro is easy. You want a wasserboxer or a diesel? I have brought in a number of cars from Europe. Be happy to advise you on importation any time.

I like how you can't even bring yourself to mention the model name of that "korean coupe". The shame you have brought upon your family.....

Also, what's up with you and clutches, jeez!

haha it still moves, but just too much slip to drive around! A/C still blows ice cold though! haha

But pink is a manly color, besides, it's October. You should be driving that wagon around loud and proud.
