Other vehicles like the VX: Affordable, limited production, crazy owner obsession

Love the FIRE-O story!!

I'd add Land Rover D90 and 110 to the "cars with cult following" category. We had a '97 D90 for 5 years, too much fun, ah, the places we went in that! (But oh so primitive). Traded it (after much hand-wringing) for a new FJ Cruiser...oh so civilized! But the D90 was awesome. In trying to explain what it was I usually just said "it's those ones you see in African/Safari shows" ....and then people would nod.:yesp:

Yeah, I was going to say Defender 90. I love em. Someday...

Dub, is that some sort of newer Impulse??

I always liked the 80s ones, kind of like a poor man's DeLorean:



I know there is a small cult following for these cars for sure, and they sure are rare.

Sorry Bart, I wish I knew...

I horked those pics from this site when someone was looking to buy an Impulse & posted them...

I looked around with a search or two, but couldn't find the original thread.

That’s more commonly known as the Geo Storm in the US.
