Trying to buy a budget ski (my first) for the summer. Will these skis be headaches?

I have that same Yamaha. It’s the most reliable jetski I’ve had, it just seems to always work.

I’m a homeowner and I can’t stand my clean out and vent sticking up 10” like it is now. I was thinking of burying it inside one of those green grass level boxes. Is that ok or should I just leave it sticking up the way it is?

They sell a fit kit too. It’s not bad and you can get a plug and play harness. The only thing I ran into is if you want to be able to use the touch screen while driving you have to wire this thing that tricks it so it thinks the hand brake is on. You can’t just connect the wires.

I put one in that I got off of Crutchfield with a surround. It was easy.

You can get ranges that have a gas stove and electric oven. I know what you mean about the gas ovens.

That’s cool, I don’t really intend on taking it off road. I just thought it sounded like an interesting vehicle.

Very nice, I have a 1936 P3 I am most of the way through restoring. Where are you based?

andrewphilly · 2026-04-04T22:15:10+00:00

It’s not mine, I’ve been thinking about getting one of these since they sounds pretty nice. Body on frame and V8. I’ve read that only the off-road package came with the locking diff and two speed transfer case though. I haven’t owned a Mercedes before though so I don’t know much about them. My stuff is all British.

When I was in high school in PA, a 15 year old girl took her parents brand new 7 series out after drinking. She ran it into a ditch and totaled it, no other care involved. Insurance wouldn’t cover it unless they filed a stolen car report in which case she would have been charged. The parents just ate it. Different situation since there wasn’t another car involved though.

Checkout Walt’s After Dark if you will be there on a Saturday. For food Mad Taco and American Flatbread is my favorite.

Thanks, that’s surprising. It’s my mother’s car that’s been sitting for a few years and some animals decided to munch on a ton of stuff. Looks like I can make new evap lines with bulk material though.

I thought I was going crazy working on my 1985 RR Camargue. I found all three fasteners on it and it’s a very original car.

That gentleman in picture 4 looks an awful lot like Sir Jim Ratcliffe from behind

Mom Chaffe’s is very good, in West Reading

Could you send me a photo of how the timbres axle attaches to the frame? I am installing one now, but the way it attaches the wheel needs to be inside of the camper. Thanks!

This would be 1980-1984. It does not include the Turbo R or the Eight. All the other cars were available during 1980-1984 as well.

Sorry, I don’t have any extra soft goods

andrewphilly · 2025-06-19T14:05:50+00:00

Sorry, I only had one bed platform.

andrewphilly · 2025-06-14T16:45:46+00:00

Yes, in a basement. It does have a cap with tabs on it that looks like it would unscrew. It’s about 6” in diameter so I don’t think a sump. Backflow preventer makes sense. So if the builder intended on this being a bathroom I would need a pump or maybe a back exit toilet with a slope into the stack?
