I know! It's like FATE!!! It's like the automotive god's way of saying, "Christian, you and the '74 Monaco were meant to be!"  :rockon:

I wonder if he'll trade in the Monaco for a lowly 118i...

You should just buy one of these barges one day - I'm not sure about Germany's rules for importing North American cars, but you could pick one up reasonably cheap here.

I'd love to have one. The only problem is my parking space is to small for it and this thing consumes like 20+ L / 100 km. My car has a 50 liter fuel tank which lasts me on average a month!!!

Yep. One fill-up lasts on average for an entire month. I drive about 700 km per month and the range of the 118i is about 650+ km.

I'm happy to get 12 days out of mine. Then again... not a diesel. I'll get 700+ kms if I do mainly highway driving though.

If you want a crappy car from the 70s that gets good fuel economy you can always get a Pinto or Vega.  Hell the Maverick or Nova with the 6 cylinder probably doesn't do too bad on fuel economy.

Postal service. They still use essentially the same symbol today.



It has it's origin with the instrument that was used to herald the arrival of the postal service.

I prefer the Vega over the Pinto. Looks better. Never much liked the Pinto or Bobcat.

Plus the Vert-A-Pac was a pretty neat idea!
