If I could find a 123 station wagon in good shape in this area, I would
definitely think about it.
I'll put out some searches for one..Thanks.

I have one of the best rear racks already, and one of the best roof
racks--but roof racks waste too much gas, and rear racks place your bikes at
risk if some jerk runs in to the rear end of your car--even a slight bump is
very bad when you have 2 mountain bikes on the back that cost more than
Dan,
The ELSBETT engine sounds appealing, but I have no idea how hard it would
be
to match one to my station wagon, how hard it would be to find a mechanic
comfortable with this relatively unknown engine ( in these parts), and I
really have no sense of what this thing would cost from the web

Hello Jonathan,
Try to google them. That is what I will do. If we don't have any luck,
then I will track down the person who is a member from another state.
Let us know how it goes with contacting their headquarters. We are

Try to find a diesel VW Vanagon. They are sturdy, very roomy, get about 25-30
MPG and they absolutely LOVE biodiesel. They are easy to fix and parts are
still inexpensive. They will u-turn in a lane and a half and were the FIRST VW
van to REALLY have brakes AND a good ride. VERY EASY to

Thanks very much for the feedback.
Because I live near West palm Beach Florida, it is nearly impossible to
drive a car comfortably without AC most of the year. With this in mind, I
have to choose a car or van that has a powerful AC unit.I suppose

Dan,
Have you thought about getting an '80's 123 style diesel Benz?

refrigerant and works great.
My 2 cents.

Hello
reputed as one of the best after the older W123's.
For the bikes you could get one of those carriers that straps onto the rear

small one axle trailer for all the scooby doo stuff. That would be removable
too :)
