    Blue stripper

    Two weeks ago I discovered the frame beam on my '94 Suburban was rotten with only 390K on it. With a '98 Jeep for hunting (moose will be interesting) and towing the boat we leapt to a new met blue Micra yesterday..
    Great fun and I am still laughing at the thought of it's gas mileage.

    Back to basics. Reminds me of the 510. With a few suspension mods I betcha this unit will be even more fun. Dealer here in BC referred to it as a Quebec special. Allo, les boys.

    Rusted out with only 390K on it??? What did you do, buy an Ontario imported one?

    Congrats on your Micra. We've got a lot of Quebec Specials in the garage (technically that's the base S model with manual, for those who haven't heard).

    The S is actually the most popular trim in the forum (check the latest garage stats summary). And feel free to add your car. The more the merrier!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Rust had to do with saltwater and a boat launch that wasn't great at lo tide. Previous 'Burb ran until 440K.

    I'm from Quebec and knew after the test drive the S model would be huge there. Why buy a salted used vehicle when you can go new, with flair, at this price.

    Aha! Boat ramps leading to the ocean. Frequent saline vehicle teabagging is not good.
