That thing's in Kirkland? I wonder where you hide a monster like that.

That must be custom.
Is that strap holding something down, or is it holding up the rear end?

FKNA the 850 Turbo R wagons were/are bad ass. I still remember a magazine cover when the car debuted. "153MPH WAGON!" or something like that with a picture of the back of a yellow R wagon.
Tailgate I'm pretty sure. I'll take a better picture next time I go by and it's daytime.Quote:

Nice!
The sheet metal on those things feels like it’s 2” thick and looks in good knick on yours. Biggest cargo area ever too.
Still miss our old ‘11 xc70T6

Still one of the best looking wagons. I am on the hunt for an nice clean 325xi, plan to convert it to an electric. I figure 15 years from now I'd rather be driving a nice clean E46 Touring vs most anything on the road today or coming out in the next 5-10. It's just old enough that they're cheap now and they'll age well.
What's the plan for converting to electric?
Agreed. Back when midsize wagons existed. legacy gt was another looker.
The a4 allroad is still here!Quote:

There is some interesting development happening with open source hacking of Toyota hybrid drivetrains and Nissan Leaf stuff. Guys are able to pull 300hp out of a hacked Leaf drivetrain.Quote:

There is an open source VCU that will allow you to reprogram all the needed CAN bus signals to trick the car into thinking it's normal.

The guy behind this E81 is unlocking the potential for some pretty clean DIY EV conversions.
This would be a secondary vehicle for us, something we only need 160 ish km per charge.
I plan to build a Celica GT4 with electric drivetrain after I finish the one I'm working on now. In 10 years I should have a little better options on that task.
Hot..but the RS always is.Quote:
