When I picked up my 200TQ20v in Northern Sweden, I had to drive it
about 700 miles to get home, most of it through areas with one house
every 30 minutes, nothing else. I didn't have any spare parts except a
window regulator.. :-)

It went fine all the way. When I came back home, it stalled two days
later - the ignition wire between the coil and distributor arced to
the hood.. Now, if that had happened out in the huge forests of
Northern Sweden in the middle of a very cold winter night...
