... my brother in law has the other one of these cars in the US ... :)

Overall he's gotten pretty good service from it ... since NOONE would ever
want a wagon with MT he got it for a song.  This is the car that I made my
earlier comments about the NA engine with MT about.  

I must say that he did have an oil line to the cooler go ... and even though
he shut the car down as soon as he knew about it he had to have the engine
replaced ...
