Is that the roadmaster that used to be in the woods somewhere, now in your backyard?!

No, the roadmaster's undercarriage was completely shot, engine was siezed, floors were gone etc, it would have cost a fortune to put it back into useable condition. This car here is a 54 Buick Super 4 door, it's an all original complete running car. :thumbsup:

What car is that, DD?

I've updated mine, it's the Alfa Romeo 156. Absolutely awful cars reliability wise, but they look great. They also feel good to drive.

Hmm, I don't know about that. Each to their own I guess. I think many Korean cars (espically Daewoo, or Chevrolet as they are branded here) look crap and similar.

And no jokie, its the best car i ever drove.

Even in our terrible roads it goes nice and smooth

I just love it :wink:

Daewoo's are known for head gasket problems (espically the Daewoo Matiz and Kalos). I don't know about that one you have, they never sold them in this part of the world.

Their quality has improved though ever since GM took them over.

That's a Daewoo? I could have sworn it was a Holden:

http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/act ... delid=7000

Daewoo is not a very good company in the US. They make shitty little subcompact cars. Chevy is using a rebadged Daewoo for the Aveo.

Yeah, they are kinda seemed because of the headlights and the rear,

But if you look it again you will see that the side of the cars is all different

Also, the daewoo Statesman is bigger :tongue:

But Holden is making a "Caprice", wich uses the same body of the Daewoo Statesman

Just a different grill and hood ornament :wink:

Edit:

Looking again in holden website i just noticed that they changed their model.

Im talking about this one.

^ That sort of looks like a Hyundai Sonata.

Daewoo rebadge their cars all over the world as Holden's, Chevy's, and even Pontiac's for fuck sake!
