Title: Decisions Decisions
Post by: Vamps on 07 November 2009, 23:31:25
Galant has just past it's tests but think it needs new pads, not driven it yet, so swmbo is in the Mig, which she says is too slow....... ::) ::)

So was having a think;

 She did say the Mig was comfy, can we put the Galant engine in the Mig, our Mig is a 2.0L auto estate....... :D :D :D

aaah - i had one of those - 24v V6 2.5 - great engine, pity the autobox was made of chocolate and bits of string  :(

one of (if not thee) the best looking saloons ever made, that front end scared the willies out of most rep-mobiles  8-)

what about selling them both and getting a nice tasty vr-4?  :y

That was just the brake pads to put the Galant back on the road ::) ::)  She drives the Galant fast enough without the need for the VR4 :D :D

The Galant we have is V6 Auto and was mine before hers, and has been a great car, done megga miles and engine and gearbox never miss a beat. Body getting a bit untidy, where do you stop spending and replace?

that decision was taken out of my hands and it was scrapped (£2500 for new autobox  :()

be careful - its a very common problem (i heard tales from mitsu dealers saying some have gone at 30k :o), pity, as they're great cars  :o

That would be the one... :y may be fwd but go like stink and would beat any Mig and very light to drive :) they don't have that comfy and solid feeling of the Mig though which is what makes the Mig such a nice car imo....... :y
