DeltaSteve Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Very nice site. Thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. I'm presently living in Romania and driving my trusty 1994 Delta LSS with 190K miles on the ticker. I've had it since 2003 when it only had 78K miles. It traveled with me to Moscow, Russia and got me around for nearly 4yrs there. I've got a picture of it with St. Basil's Cathedral in the background, but haven't yet got around to mailing it to the woman who sold me the car (and who also told me that she's selling it because "it's unreliable.") Anyway, hello to everybody, and I hope all are doing well. Steve. EDIT>Oh, and I just bought a 1997 SSEI so I'd have a car when I visit the States.

Z34guy Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 The Delta LSS and the Bonneville aren't on the W-body... Anyways, Welcome! Quote
DeltaSteve Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Posted July 30, 2011 The Delta LSS and the Bonneville aren't on the W-body... Anyways, Welcome! That's true, but since I bought the Bonneville from the site administrator, I took a [little] liberty... Quote
Z34guy Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Not like there aren't people here who don't know anything about them. I grew up on GM, so I love hearing about the cars being loved in other countries. Quote
tornado_735 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 While this maybe be strictly a W-body site, that's not to say that most of us don't have some sort of fondness for most GM shitboxes Welcome to the site. Post up some pictures! Quote
AL Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 That's true, but since I bought the Bonneville from the site administrator, I took a [little] liberty... It all makes sense... Welcome to the forums Quote
DeltaSteve Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I was assigned a new 1998 Grand Prix (work related, in 1998) and drove it for three years before getting a new 2001 Grand Prix replacement and driving it several more years. A black one and a maroon one. Would have pulled the trigger and bought both if my cash situation at the time permitted it. Unfortunately it didn't. Really liked the style of car. Also like the mid-90's Cutlass, both the 2-door and the convertible; and enjoy looking at photos of the vehicles. However, the site required me to be a member before I could take a peek at the gallery, etc, so here I am. I do realize this is a W-body forum, so I'll keep a low profile. In the meantime, I intend on enjoying the pics frequently. Thanks again, Steve. Quote

xtremerevolution Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Welcome! Very nice cars you've driven there. I'm also Romanian. I was born there in Jibou, lived there for 5 years, and right before the revolution, my dad ran away, risked his life, and moved us all to the US. Nice to hear from another Romanian. Quote
DeltaSteve Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Posted August 1, 2011 x2! If I may ask, what took you to Romania? I'm an American assigned to the U.S. State Department. Got posted to Moscow first, but quickly tired of the 'Bolsheviks' and their traffic. (Quickly didn't mean much, as I still spent nearly 4yrs there.) Frequent travel in Central Asia and the Mid East, then finally managed to transfer to Eastern Europe and environs. Been here about four months of an anticipated 3yrs or so. Much nicer. For xtremerevolution; you have a very nice country, though Bucharest isn't an accurate descripter of how nice the countryside is. Transylvania is a hoot, and the topless women at the beach in Catantsa ain't bad either Quote
9lumina6 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Welcome!! And did I hear topless women????? Quote
LukeZ34 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Welcome to the forums. Glad to see you joined up, and I hope you like the Bonneville when you get it! Quote

I started trying to teach myself Russian a couple years back using free online lessons, but I kind of lost time and interest. Would you plan on bringing the Delta back with you if you ever get back in country? Quote
