[dutch bu]

hello mine name is vincent, and as you can see i,m from the flatlands..(the netherlands ) in a town called Vlaardingen.

i drive a 1980 malibu classic stationwagon..and i,m verry fond of this car...

it has a 229cui v6..for now..but i,m planning to do the v8 swap..becouse the six is a bit onderpowered for a 1600 kg car..but for now its fine..
and becouse of the gasprice here in holland 1.60 per liter in euro,s thats 6,-$ per gallon...?
i,ll run on l.p.g (liquid propane gas) the tank is built in where normely the spare tyre is..now it,s 0.60 eurocents a liter 2.40,-$ per gallon..thats what you guys pay for pumpgas..in the usa..??

i,ts not mine first malibu in the previous years i drove a 79 malibu coupe..and a 78 4drs sedan whith a f14 pakkage..loved that car !..bud thats manny years ago..i,ll hope to learn from you guys and mabey i can tell you some things...grtz vincent

thanks all for the welcome...

i, own this wagon for a year now. got it from the second owner..
but i,m driving malibu,s sinds 1992 or so..i will look for some pictures of the previous ones..

the trailer hitch is a bit close to the bumper you mean..??..

it is an detachable one but someware between 2 owners the key is lost... and they don,t make them anymore..

but so far i have towed a few trailers and it is no problem.
the v6 thinks different about it..

there still a few g boddy,s here across ther pond..buddy of mine drives a 1980 olds cutlass diesel..but is has now a olds 403 in it..

i will post some pics of of the meetings we do have here..

grtz vincent
