This is a tough one n reality. How attached are you to your bow thruster? There are Nordie owners and then there are Nordie owners. If you are the latter, it could be anything starting with a dehaviland beaver. Oh, I think you have something classic tucked away, but not something bought, something built.
What was your first car?
And me?
Yes, I thought this thread was going to be more interesting because YOU were going to tell us all.
This is great. Just like "Stump The Chump" on Click and Klack. (we miss you , Tom)
OK, here are your clues:
I've wailed on the thrusters a few times while getting a feel for how the boat handles. But I'm generally pretty light on them.
First car as a licensed driver was a '67 MGB-GT. Owned three others before that, but driving was restricted to farm fields. None of them were amphibious.
OK, your turn.

So....This Nordic Tug owner drives a Honda Accord Coupe with all the goodies. (Much better than my previous Mercedes E550 4matic.)
Okay, that would put you into a BMW suv instead of the Rover. A little bird says your build car is a tan Volvo, but honestly I would not have guessed it.
I'll take a shot at RTF. 1950 Stude.
Larry I wish I had one of those classics . I must be in the tug cattigory with a Subaru Outback and an old Nissan Frontier pick up .Pack Mule, 59 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet. Ghost, 60 Caddy Pickup.
I drove one belonging to my brother in law, they drove it Sydney to Perth, near 2500 miles by road. Performance was timed with calendar rather than stopwatch.Who is the lucky guy who has a Renault Dauphine?

Not only do the Nokian's last (Blizzaks wear their snow tread quickly, then you drive on something with less traction until they wear out). .
The volvo (a '71 142E) is a restoration of a nearly extinct and forgotten model that pretty much put Volvo on the map in the US.
A friend named Art Riley raced the P1800 on the East Coast and won a ton of trophies. Another friend still races 122s in the Chicago area.
That's right. 3M miles. The owner was the feature attraction at last years Volvo club meeting. The 444 and 120 series definitely paved the way in the US, but I believe the 140 series is what really jacked up their sales to be more than a fringe player. It's interesting to see how many
more 444s, 120s, and P1800s survive today compared to the 140s. My best guess is that the 140s were a practical car owned by practical people, and when the cost to repair exceeded their value, off they went to the crusher. The blog loosely referenced on the restoration of mine is at Volvo142e.com
