The Audi is Silver metallic and as mentioned before it's a TDi 90Hp and the only modification so far is the Blaupunkt New York CD-Radio I've installed. I've bought another car recently. It's a Volkswagen Transporter Crew Cab 112i -88 hopefully there will be some modifications to it shortly. Yet another car has materialised at my home I don't know how this happened but there are now two Volkswagen Transporters (Vanagon to you in the US) at my home. The most recent one is a Crew Cab 112i -88 but it has one feature the other one hasn't it's a Syncro wich means it is four wheel drive and I couldn't resist it. |

| This summer Karl-Erik started to nurturing thoughts about getting a small open sportscar (The garage was empty after the selling of the Volvo 142.) and after a thorough market research he settled for a Fiat Barchetta, a car that has just about the right balance between the unpractical sportscar characteristics and the user-friendliness of a certain Japanese two-seater which name will not be mentioned here. A longer description of this car and how he found it can be found here. Karl-Erik's daily driver is still the Volvo (big surprise???) S40T4. It is basically Volvo's medium size sedan, but the T4 option gives it a lot more power and handling than the more sedate versions. It has a 1900cc turbo-charged engine which produces 200bhp and a torque of 300 Nm between 2400-3900 rpm. This makes it cover 0-100 km/h stretch in 7.3 seconds. It is also fitted with the sports suspension which adds to its good driving characteristics (OK, the understeer is somewhat prominent but it doesn't mean that much). He has loaded it with almost all the options there is with the exception of the wooden dashboard which he consider quite tasteless. The more visible additions are the 16" "Gaspra" alloy wheels and the spoiler on the trunk lid, but inside there is also a climate control and a six-speaker big-front sound system which, according to Markus, even sounds good. The color is called "Autumn gold metallic". |
