RE: Rough running Saudi Ty...

Normal as in its a full Saudi setup but hasn't had the
'crash damage conversion' the black one went through.

>The black one looks pretty

The tar like oil masking a badly knocking bottom end, a transmission
that whines whilst in D and a U shaped CAC radiator are just some of
the problems that're contained in its history...

>You know how competent Bauer is, why should any of the other overseas

This wasnt anything to do with Bauer Millet (The UK GM dealer).  The vehicle
was straight from Saudi.  I suspect its been 'maintained' by a non GM dealer...

Hmmm, interesting you should say that.  Mine ran part of its life on 97 RON
leaded gas and the Saudi Ty has been permanently running leaded for 34K
miles....
