2 months... TWO BLOODY MONTHS! That's how much I had to endure the horror that is Finnish railways. One would think that snow is nothing special in Finland? But apparently it's a reason enough to cancel half of the trains and route every other one 25mins behind the schedule. Or just stop the whole freaking railway traffic because of the accident in the central station and not even tell the people waiting for an hour in -25 C on a tiny open station. You have the loudspeakers there! You have digital screens! Argh..
But anyways, I'm ranting again.
So both my cars being in somewhat a project state, I needed a basic, reliable motor to get me every day to work. But of course it had to be an RWD. There's snow outside after all, driving FWD is almost a crime!
Long story short, I wanted a W124, but after test driving one (not a prime example, to be fair) I decided that big Merc is not for me. Then good people of #gear.fi pointed me into E34's direction, and here's the result:
Don't have any other pics yet, maybe later this week after a wash. It's a 1996 E34 520i with a smooooooth I6 24V. Not the quickest car, and not the lightest. But it's perfect for what I need right now, a basic utility vehicle with a suspension that can be played with in this excellent weather
And yes, I hate these wheels too.
