Above is my 1979 Chevrolet
Blazer
that I and Melissa drove from Seattle
to the southern tip of South America and back. At the start of the trip
there was a new 350 in it. It has a 4-inch lift, Rancho suspension,
trailer hitch both front and rear for a Ramsey winch, dual battery
setup, 33-inch BF Goodrich All Terrains with 2 full-size spares, 40
gallon fuel tank, custom welded roofrack to hold the two spares + gear,
strong-box welded into the bed for valuables and much more. Picture is
at the end of the road in Argentina. Over 35,000 miles on the trip in ten
months. Like a rock!
Re the
Darien Gap:
At the time there was a ferry called the Crucero Express running from
Panama to Cartagena, Colombia but 1 month before we got there it was
discontinued which made things a little more complicated. We ended
up shipping the car in a container from Costa Rica to Cartagena which proved
to be easy on the Costa Rican side and a bit of a nightmare in Colombian
customs. Gotta no Spanish or you're screwed! Cost about $1000 for the
shipping about $100 customs fees in Colombia, while we flew and waited for
the truck. About 5 days shipping time. -

Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
