I am visiting Florian (Fluri) this weekend after a work trip in England last week. We met in 2000 because of a shared interest in the Malibu. Like me, he has both a coupe and wagon. The wagon is factory 4-speed with a 305. The coupe has a 350 and T56 I helped him import and install. Yesterday we dug my old Honda out of the back of his barn and got it running. Took a three-hour ride up the Ruinaulta, a long narrow gorge on the Rhine river called the Swiss Grand Canyon. Then up the mountains on some amazing switchbacks. Today we went for a ride in Hitsch's boat on the (lake) Walensee, powered by a 305 Volvo Penta (a marine small-block Chevy). Hitsch let me drive his LT4 Corvette home. A blast rowing through six gears on the Autobahn.
