hi there,
my name is MADthieu and i'm from Amsterdam (Holland)

my car is a silver gray 1979 Bonneville Brougham.
wich i own for about 1 year now.
originally it came from Zwitserland. but i imported it to the Netherlands.



it'* not my first bonneville.
i had a 2 door '76 or '77 a few years ago.
that one was in really bad shape ... and didn't make it.
(still have my pic'*)

but when i came across this baby, didn't waste one second to get it.
making me happy everytime i drive it (wich is daily)

i'm very happy to find a forum specially for "bonnies" cause i've been looking for ages to find one.
been wasting lots of time on a dutch american car forum (A.A.P)
and now i'm here ...

so, with this introduction.
i would like to say Hi to all the bonneville lovers out there.

hope i'll find some "usefull" info for my car.

thanks for now ...

We are really spreading around the world. Good to have ya' in the club

Welcome to the club

Welcome to the club!!

welcome to the club, Is that the exaust coming out from infront of the wheels?

Welcome to the club!

That looks like a curb feeler; but I could be mistaken.

the rear wheels....and yes it looks like the exhaust exits there

yep,
it'* a curb feeler AND the exhaust sticking out on both sides !!!





curb feelers really look cool on these cars. (i think)
i started out with a pair of 8. but only 4 left now.
don't think i can get any new ones over here (Holland)

about the exhaust ... really it is TO loud !!!
but it came with the car. and i didn't have time or resources to change it.
at first it was ok like this. but after a while it'* just a nasty sound.
so, i will change it as soon as possible !!!

can anyone tell me more about the buick engine.
it has an oil leak somewhere ... oil dripping from the carter-pan and the transm. carter. (lowest point)
i'm sure it'* not the ATF but the engine oil.
could it b a crank seal ?!?

everyone, THANKS !!!
