Greetings Longroofers!

Hi guys!

I'm new to this forum as well as to B-body wagons. I recently bought a '94 Roadmaster Wagon that I'll be getting home on october 6th.
The Buick is nearly rust free and was imported from Texas to Sweden in december '02.
I'll be putting up some photos of it as soon as I get it home, you can get a preview by watching my avatar

My name is Tomas and I live, yes you guessed it: in Sweden

Never owned a Wagon before, only a bunch of Chevy G20 Van's, there's alot of them here.
I also own a 1978 Chevy Caprice Classic Sedan, that was built in Canada and sold new in Sweden.

I've been watching the YouTube vids of Pat's "buickestate" Sedan nosed RM and I must say I really like it,
GM should have used that front end on the Wagons IMHO.

Anyways you seem like a nice bunch of guys so I think I'll enjoy being a member of this forum.

Regards
/Tomas - aka Chakotay

Welcome Tomas!!!

Congrats on the new purchase

Welcome!! Yeah, I am a big fan of the RMSedan nose on a RMW too!

Glad you are here and look forward to getting to know you and your wagon!

Chris

Thanks guys!

Chris, where did you get those mud flaps with the Buick inscription and tri-shields?

Welcome aboard! Great to see our wagons being appreciated everywhere.

nice to have you aboard.

I'm honored to be welcomed into your great community of Wagon enthusiasts
Just got to say that I really like the mods you've done to your '93 RMW Pat, great work!

Don't have any numbers but I'd say that The RMW is the most popular of the 3 '91-'96 B-bodys
followed by the Caprice and the very rare OCC over here.

Btw just got to ask being a noob and all What does "Trifecta" mean?

Welcome to the wagon world. You will one of the most unique cars in Sweden.

Welcome to the forum!

"Trifecta" is a sports term where a gambler, or bettor, wins by selecting the first 3 finishers in a race in the correct order.

But in this case, it's just easier to say "trifecta" than "one of each in the same color"

"välkomna",...
from sweden eh?? MMmmmm,. bule eyed blond swedish girls,. yummy,.
Is it hard to drive the car with your wooden shoes on??

Those came on the wagon when I bought it...humm...I know you can get a set like the ones this guy has on his wagon from GM...

I would gladly give you the ones I have, but I only have 2 now. The other two were on the front fenders that I no longer have. Lol

I believe wooden shoes are from Holland not Sweeden where Tomas is from.



Welcome Tomas

If you have a wagon from Texas, you've got a good one; don't have to worry about rust.

According to "Sherlock9C1", that color is very desirable and somewhat rare.

Aha, well since I'm not into sports (unless it's got four wheels and a V8 engine that is ) I wouldn't have figured that one out

Why thank you Nick, I see that you are fluent in Swedish so I'll reply with: Tack så mycket!
As for the wooden shoes they were quite popular when I grew up in the '70's, I have tried driving in a pair once but I wouldn't recommend it.
To make things even harder it was a stick shift car

Well Chris if you'd be willing to part with them I would definitely buy them from you, 2 is better than none
I know I've seen a couple of black ones with the Roadmaster inscription on them, think it was an RMW on Ebay not sure though.

Hey another Thomas
I really like that color, seems as the white ones with than interior are the more common ones?
Any of you guys have a list of the different color for each of the '91-'96 model years?

Well I was talking 'bout Mud Flaps but Center Caps might become useful as well so thanks for the link

I have two of the mud flaps you saw on Brokecello's car. One got a little 'crinkled' though. If you want them, they're yours for the cost of shipping. Happen to have a US address I could send them to?

Sounds like a good idea too save on shipping cost

Hello And Welcome Tomas, from Daytona Beach!
I'm the guy with the "Trifecta". My wife and I now have a LAB Chevy, Buick & Olds wagon. I hope you enjoy your wagon as much as we enjoy ours. This is a great bunch of guys here, that have alot of knowledge on these wagons. Heres a pic of the "Trifecta". Left to Right, Our 1992 "Yenko Impala SS" wagon, Our Olds (soon to be) 442 W31 wagon, and her Buick "GSX" wagon.



The "Yenko Impala SS" wagon as won 5 "Super Chevy Shows" this year, along with over 20 awards at other shows all over the eastern US. This includes winning at the Oakland Press Show in Pontiac, MI during the Woodward dream Cruise in 2008, My wifes Buick "GSX wagon has won several awards this year as well, including winning at The Oakland Press show this year, while we were up in Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise this year. The Olds will be my wifes new daily driver, after a few subtle mods to make it a 442 W-31 wagon.

And you are so right about Pats wagon with the sedan nose, photos do NOT do his wagon justice. His wagon has so many little "subtle" changes that ya have to see it in person. Pat did exactly what GM should have done! I walked around Pats wagon at Woodward for about 30 minutes total just taking in all the subtle changes. My wife wanted to bring it home with us, yes, its THAT nice!

Keep us posted on what you do with yours, even cool photo ops!

Best Regards from Daytona Beach. FL.
Larry

Thank you for the warm welcome Larry, well I have to say I'm a little bit envious of your Trifecta

You sure like them Golden Era Muscle Cars I can tell by the looks of your fleet

I will of course post photos of my '94 RMW as soon as I get her home

I've seen a lot of cool names on rides not sure what to call mine yet though, "Cherry" perhaps?

Hi Again Tomas
The color of your wagon reminds me of a color of Brandy my uncle used to drink, so why dont ya name the wagon "Brandy"? As far finally assembling the "Trifecta", that took several years to accomplish, but now well worth it. Look up the post, "My 2009 Magical Mystery Tour" to see what I do for a living. I have one of the best jobs any car guy would want! When will your new baby arrive home?

More Later
Larry

thomas I expect to see a picture thread of next year's Power Big Meet in Västerås. I plan on attending this even at some point in the future.

Well it sure seems you have a great job that's for sure

As for naming my new baby "Brandy", well makes sense but when i hear the name Brandy I think of the Cartoon show Brandy and Mr. Whiskers
And the cartoon dog Brandy Harrington says she's from Florida and my "baby" is from Texas soo..

My baby will arrive around october 7th. My Dad and I will be going by plane to the North of Sweden and then drive her home taking turns at the wheel.
A little 746 miles Road Trip (nothing compared to Pat's "buickestate" Road Trips but ).

Hi, Pat! Sure I can post Pics from Power Big Meet I go there every year (only 25 miles away ).
