Funny, I found myself well down this particular rabbit hole looking at 1:43 models yesterday. I feel a relapse coming on...

What is this car??? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before but I think I’m smitten.

It’s a Venturi Atlantique 260. Venturis are very pretty and I don’t think there are very many of them

Give me this Alpine GTA and a Citroen SM and I’d be content. The Alpine is at the top of my potential next cars list.

BTW, how is the immortal Blazer?

Still immortal, but feeling like there’s a lot of carbon buildup. She needs a good highway run, which may or may not happen....it was inevitable that it was going to eat the front end at some point, and it’s getting there. So it doesn’t like going in a straight line anymore, and the bump steer is getting pretty bad :p

That’s too bad. Will you be replacing the front end components or sending it on?

I’m not sure if I’m gonna fix it or not...once I start thinking about replacing suspension components, it kinda turns into replacing all of them, since most of it is original or only replaced once. The general plan is get rid of my other two vehicles that don’t work, get a job that’s walking distance, park it behind the house, and save up money and get an E34 535i or something else that’s fun and doesn’t have to be good on gas. I’m too attached to the Blazer to scrap it, so I’ll probably be silly sometime in the future and put too much money into a worn out Chevy

Well, if you ever decide that the repairs are too much, but don’t want to sell it to a stranger, let me know. I can always use a good, dependable SUV.

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind!

After all, since TheVancen rescued my Cutlass from the crusher, it’s my duty to rescue another Oppo vehicle.

Haha true, it would only make sense

I’ll have to import it, but hopefully in a couple years I’ll have the means to do it.

Was in Paris a few weeks ago and saw one in just that colour.

If there was another car with wipers like this, I don’t remember seeing it. (and if there was, I’m guessing Panhard)

What’s more, they’re still relatively cheap (except in France where they’re advertised for up to €50,000).

Same applies to the SM.
