1986 years Ford Sierra XR4x4, Dalarna 2002

After eight years at University I needed a cheap car but still exiting in someway.

Ford Sierra XR4x4, my first four wheel drive car, this little car cost nothing and worked very well. It had a V6 2.8 liter 145 hp engine. The engine had a very advanced direct injection system, that wasn't very common in the 1980s. The gearbox was a five speed manual. Yes a lot of rust but the engine was fine and the four wheel drive system was perfect in the winter in Sweden where it can be lots of snow.

When I had this car I had plans to buy a BMW 850, that's a car with a V12 engine, very exiting. I rent one more parking lot in the garage, but didn't find a car as well preserved as I wanted. Lucky me, because a BMW 850 could be very expensive to repair and do service on.

I had this Ford Sierra between 1999 and 2002. After this I didn't had any own car until 2007. I rent a car when I needed instead. See, I'm know an old wise man.

The car still exist but it's not in traffic since 2006.

One of the most fun cars we rented was a Fiat Barchetta cabriolet. I rented it for three weeks and among other places we visit the north of Sweden.
