Dingus?? Had to google that one, came up with this:

din·gus (dĭng′əs)
n. Slang
1. An article whose name is unknown or forgotten.
2. A person regarded as stupid.

Seems kinda harsh...

Not hardly. Sol wants another PITA (oops, "project car"), Jim has enough to go around. Seems simple enough to me!

I have a new fuel pump, FP relay, plugs etc., come down and help me get it running and I'll sell one of the other cars. You can even drive it first after we get it running, problem solved. 8)

Besides, do you really want Sol to "Stance" a near all original 78GT?? [-X

That's a good point. I'm better off not having any "nice" things... because i might ruin them with my indifferent attitude. \:D/

Back to Tbrix with you ya Dingus. :lol:

FWIW I'm sure there are Volvo purists who wouldn't appreciate my 122 either, I just can't see the GT getting stanced out as it's very restorable. More than likely not by me, but that's another story...

If the 84 242Ti that's been bouncing around Lethbridge ever comes up again you will be the first to know. It's very CRUSTY and would be a perfect have'atter kinda car, for someone with an indifferent attitude and lots of zipties, duct tape, JB Weld... :lol:

Hey now, A little lowering and wider wheels never hurt anyone!
I think 240s with nice wide wheels and minimal wheel gap look rather smart.
In my opinion, the tall thin motif is the only thing that makes them look very dorky :wink:
