One of the cars we had was (is) a Subaru Forester - can it offroad? Yes

Wheels of Happiness

Before the Montero, we had Subaru Forester.    My daughter wanted it because there was supposed to be a sale.   This post provided the dp which was hefty.  She made the monthly.   It was fast and thrifty too. I could easily do 140 kph at SLEX or NLEX with its engine hardly worked up.  It had a cruise control, which many local cars did not have.

I was fond of 4x4, the extreme one and used TLC,, CJ,  and Range Rover.  (abused)

We recently had expensive maintenance recently for this:   timing chain, etc.  batteries.
It is a good car.

It can be used for offroad.  It is an all wheel drive car.

It is a day before Christmas.  Merry Christmas tomorrow.

Today I rode up to Antipolo City and rode my SARS roadie.  What a big difference between the MTB and the road bike.  It was faster, lighter, albeit harsh on the butt.  But I rode up Antipolo faster and downhill faster.  The two bikes have their specific purposes and function.

There, in the mass (I finished the mass) I met Jeff Libunao who is from QC.  He owns a car paintworks near the Mother Lily Building near Timog.  He is a lay minister of their church, and found out he likes car (like BMW 320i and the Forester (that is how is got him on conversation because he wore a jersey with Subaru words on it) which he has now and which we have in the house)  He rode on a Pinarello Dogma, one of the best looking and most expensive carbon bike in the world,  VM has two.

Those who more numerous were the MTB.  I passed in Taytay to buy item for the exchange gift at the Recyclists Chrismas party at Jess Verchez house on December 26, 2015,   Birthday din ni Echo
Happy birthday.
