lol its not the car but its spot on the same apart from my one has some Audi alloys on it
.
it is a strange car as its quite small but so spacious inside very comfy, not exactly street cred material but its a auto yank and that's what i like driving, apparently fuel econ' is about 25 dependent on how you drive it.
its also got a full service history up to 76k its now at 80k

What is it? An old Regal?
Had 3 of the later one's.
2x2.8's, 1x3.1.
Nice cars. Real comfy. Good fuel too.
Not much room in the rear, but then I never sat there so who cares LOL

I had a Buick Skylark.
But it was a 1964 model
I'm all for anything different Pete, beats smokin' around in some knackered old Passat!

And I bet there's a few million young lads running around in Beat up old buicks wishing they where Smoking around in an Old Passat!
Dunno if I would go down the road of driving any American car for for sake of driving an American car but if you like it pete then great!

if I said I thought that was great looking car I would be lying, it’s ugly
but, a mate of mine has a Passat and I bet he would rather take the Buick!! he has all sorts of problems with the Passat!!
good on ya Pete for doing something different!! bags of toys and reasonable economy, can’t say fairer than that

The Buick's of the 80s are ace
one of the all time greats is of course the GN
and would you believe that Buick Regals are now becoming collectable
get one now before the rocket in price.In the states its cool to get a two door Regal or ElCamino that Jessie James guy who builds bikes has a 80s Regal and an ElCamino i think?

Im Deadly Serious Jon,Not just the GN some 80s Buick's are going up.
The 87 GN for example was faster than all most ALL 60s Muslcecars
and they are still affordable by the normal working man
but not for long i bet!
I will find some pics of these 80s Regals and ElCaminos that they like in the US.
