The longest Thread ever!!!

[Rodd1s]

They're not all that cheap to run over here, but I enjoyed driving my old Lanos more than any other car I've had since then and getting rid of my Lanos is still my biggest regret as far as my car history goes.

I think these things are kind of like boats, and like the saying goes, "The 2 best days in a boat owner's life are the day he buys the boat, and the day he sells it!"

[Rodd1s]

Nah, they're better than boats.

I have no backing to this argument, just another post to keep the longest thread going.

[Puddle31]

and while they certainly aren not cheap..... boats are more!!!

Nobody tried mariniser a Lanos to have the best of both worlds?

HA! Maybe these things and boats are more alike than we first imagined.

Having seen that... I recon a Leganza would make for a nice boat, keep the front and side windows in place, but remove the roof and rear window. Move the petrol tank to the front and stick a V8 in the boot, directly powering a massive prop. Get rid of the wheels altogether and put it on a fibreglass hull. Luxury four-seater water cruiser.

How awesome would that be?!

That is true... I think alot of people have either moved on from Daewoos altogether, or have lost interest in the community aspect. And ofcourse it doesn't help that every other site on the internet points to the old domain name which appears as a legit site

There are a few other forums that seem to have a ripe following, i.e.: daewooclub.co.uk and lanosclub.com

the only problem with a lot of the people on daewooclub is that they are 'purists' - they don't believe in the modified way, which I can safely say is not how we like to do things in wootech land. For instance, last week I was reading one old article on there about someone wanting to lower their Nubira and wanting people's opinions on whether to go for 35mm or 40mm springs - then this one old timer jumps in saying something like "the manufacturers have spent thousands testing and perfecting the handling and comfort of the ride, why ruin it?"

People like that piss me off. On top of that, I doubt Daewoo as a manufacturer spent too much time and money on the rid eand handling when they were mostly re-using ready-to-go chassis' from GM.

I don't want to put down the name of daewoo, but "purist" seems like an odd thing to say about a Daewoo owner.

Given we don't have Vauxhalls over here, my main interest in Daewoo was the fact that it was a rebranded Opel Chassis which allowed me to drop in any number of fun engines, gearboxes and performance accessories.

Speaking of UK, would you have any interest in sending Vauxhall parts over here?

I use to bring them in through another fellow on Migweb, but he has become greedy and wants too much money for such a simple job ( last time he added 200 GBP for the whole hour it took him to collect the part and ship it to me )

I'd have to think about it... what kinda parts are you after? Smaller items would obviously be less of a problem (especially considering the extortionate cost of postage over here).
