Buying an old (1980-1983) Saab good idea?

still just me (still just me <wheeledBobNOSPAM (AT) yahoo (DOT) com>) gurgled
happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Sure, it's not as low as the US - but that's a small price to pay for
not getting left to die in the streets like dogs if our credit cards
don't have enough space on 'em...

They won't leave you to die in the USA

Whilst it was a slight exaggeration - and the NHS is _FAR_ from perfect -
I've seen too many collecting boxes (especially in the poorer bits of the
rural south) to wholly believe that.

Yet UK taxation is towards the lower end of european countries, viewed as
a whole.

But so is the standard of living.
Compared to many.

I find that Tax on insurance is the most offensive invention. Insurance
is a form of solidarity; if I am fortunate enough not to require a payout,
then my money goes towards helping someone else in misery from an accident.

However, you can get government grant (UK) for converting a new car.

Not any more you can't. The EU declared it illegal.

I don't mind. Why should my Tax money support someone who can afford
a new car?

I had a 90 until recently (I gave it away due to rising insurance cost),
but it was made in 1985. As far as I know, this is the only year they
made it. Contary to the 99 series it supports unleaded petrol and LPG.
I've driven it over 20 years, even on LPG. At 280k km same engine, same
gear box. Last year I replaced the carburetor. This year clutch and
brake pads. That's all. If you can find one with a moderate mileage,
grab it!

Can such a engine run on LPG and what mileage will

Sorry that this is unrelated to your enquiry Edmund.

OK, some silly bugger has been crossposting this to a spanking
newsgroup, spoofing as me, but with strange random garbage as the
message.

Granted, I'm not bothered about being associated with the other group,
but I don't want to be considered as a crossposting troll when I've
never even visited.

I understand, he posted under my name too.
