  • @Eagle1ZX Point 3: safety. Any car designed 27 years ago is a lot less safe than ANY car on production today. You can see the Fifth Gear episode here on youtube where they crash a Volvo 940 (the replacement of the 700 series, hence a lot safer) into a Renault Modus.

    I rest my case.

  • @Eagle1ZX I gave you 3 objective arguments and you attack me without giving any single logic counterargument. That makes you either an 11 year-old or an imbecile; I'm betting on the latter. Point 1: "out there today". This car was produced between 84-92. It's at least 20 years old. Point 2: beauty. Calling this "one of the most beautiful looking family cars" is like someone saying Lady Gaga is better than Sinatra; you know it's a personal opinion, but you'd still be calling that person an idiot.

  • @RicardoSS85 My friend, you obviously have little knowledge about vehicles... I'm not even going to bother trying to score points here because you are one of these simple "if it's more than a year old it's crap" type of people. Which is fair enough, each to themselves at the end of the day... But when you see something that is rare, old, but interesting, be it a car or whatever, you'll know what I mean.. until then... wake up mate. please.. it was my opinion... not yours....

  • @Eagle1ZX 'Out there today'? Dude this car is 20 years old. And I know taste is a personal thing, but calling it beautiful has got to be a joke! As for the 'drives through brick walls', EuroNCAP would disagree...

  • 3:21 fto in the background

  • Just buy real diesel instead of pissing around with this you cheapskate

  • From watching this video, he basically just combined used vegetable oil and non-kerosene based spirit and let the combination stand for a week. From the other videos I have watched, they used normal vegetable oil, lye and methanol with a different method of producing the biodiesel. So can anyone tell me if this method is safe or should I go for the other one?

  • najo is ja cool

  • 0:41 Those Pink pants......

  • some guy gotta make a vegetable station
