Profile for user MAISTERI - Finland

A taxi driver from finland. My favorite cars are old Volvos, they Look so beautiful to me :)

Cars I have owned (in order)
1.1992 Volvo 940 (944) GL
My first car. Was originally sold to Åland and brought to mainland Finland in 2004.It had the basic b200f Redblock (or "vinokone" as its known in finland) engine. And it had a manual sunroof with a crank from factory(only Volvo where ive seen one).

2. Mercedes-Benz W124 200D
Owned it for one summer. The previous owner had cut the springs and painted it matte black for some reason. Got it for a really cheap price since it couldnt pass the next years inspection.

3. 2000 Fiat Punto 55 S
Bought it for my wife(her first car) Horrible car to drive. It didn't have power steering so the steering was either really stiff or really light and unresponsive when you got up to speed, no in between. Only good thing was the low fuel consumption and cheap insurance.

4. 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190 W201
Had it for few years, but sold it when I got tired of welding the rust spots every year for annual inspection. Was a good car to drive, not as good as the W124, but still nice.

5. 200? Honda Civic sedan
My wifes second car. Not much to say about this one.

6. 2004 Skoda Fabia Series I
Good car with good memories. Brought my son home from hospital in this car when he was born.

7. 2006 Peugeot 407SW 1.9
Good car to drive, but had to eventually sell it because the electronics strated to do all sorts of stuff they arent supposed to and the engine started to leak and consume too much oil

8. 2006 Nissan Primera P12 1.8 ESP
My current car. No problem so far even tough it has the notorious QG18DE engine that is known to comsume lots of oil, but seems like I won the engine lottery with this one.


Bikes I have owned.

1. 1998 Derbi Senda 50
My first ever motor vehicle. Used to ride with my friends day and night during summer holiday with this moped.

2. Peugeot Trekker

3. Tunturi Hopper
Really fun little bike. Found this one abandoned in a barn near my grand parents house. Had to track down the owner from vin. I fixed the engine, got it registered again and then sold it forwards.

4. Honda CBR125R
Last bike ive owned. Had it for two years until I got my drivers license.
