Damnit!

I was going to head over and check it out, but had some electrical problems with my car on Sunday morning and by the time I got them sorted out, it was 2:00 and the when i got to larz andersen, the show was over!

I saw the caterham (along with a line of nice volvo's) driving away on my way there.

Lots of saabs when i got there, but i'll be damned if i'm going to pay to see some saab's.

In Brookline, MA. Outside Boston.

[bad news]

Well we might be worn and slow but at least we are low :lol: Car looks about half a foot closer to the ground than Greg's 940.

Fun day. Good seeing everybody I haven't seen in a while.

[Davin]

Looks like it was fun. That is the biggest dump valve I have ever seen on that supercharged 5.0:omg:

ah-ha, right you are.

[Greg Wong]

Ah, no kidding, that was Dug's old car? That was nice looking.

What, you don't like the 4X4 look Dave?

Maybe tomorrow I can get my pics up. I don't think there's really anything special, though.

[norcal505]

that bright red p210 is killing me.
and so is the yellow, the burgandy 244 , and the 5.0 wagon

[norcal505]

dugs old 245 looks sad on those S40/V50 rims:-(

The yellow wagon was pretty rough, unfortunately (if that's what you're talking about). The trim was all cracked and faded and the paint was not in great shape. Definitely a survivor (but a rare one at that).

[kildea]

that yellow 122 was sweet, also a bit worn, but all original (it appeared so at least), and they had the original volvo racing literature and such, it was pretty sweet.
my favorite of the vintage cars was:

I just grabbed my girlfriend's digital camera long enough to document my own car's cleanliness. besides that i was too engrossed in conversation to take proper pics.

anyone grab a pic of the 6 cylender engine mount? that thing needs to be shown to the world.

[volvo940tuner]

The S.O.'s name is Samantha..she is quite beautiful..and all mine. :ninja:

You two were so engrossed in conversation, I didn't want to interrupt and say what's up.
Obviously talking volvos....right? :nod:

Anyway, your car looked great man!

[OnlyWagons]

Oh yeah, and the only picture I took all day was of a Saab viggen with Pegs. I didn't even notice the snowboards on it at the time...huh?

Thought it was noteworthy for some reason...reaching across the aisle and all:

[Body Massage]

Oh man, Boston Volvo had that ****ing 780 there!!!

God it's sooo pretty :drool:

[drturbo]

Thanks for the inspiration! I really need to dig into my 1800ES and fast!

[Poik]

Some very cool Volvos. Why are there Grand Sport fender stripes on those two S60Rs? Kinda weird imo.

Note: Remember to put the oil cap back on before you go for a few 80mph highway pulls.

Is that an engine brace welded to the gt brace?Atleast the oil makes her shine.

temporary ...
it's a nut welded to the brace, the pipe that connects to the engine mount threads into the nut.

that's what the scd guys kept on me about ...

it'll eventually be replaced with something that spans the strut towers, but since i kept breaking the engine mounts i put something in there to protect my turbo and manifold from slamming against the strut tower ... it's perpendicular to the moment arm, assuming the solid mount on the passenger side is the pivot, so it should be fine for now.



edit, and the engine mount you guys should have gotten a photo of was the broken one people were handling at the show ... i think that's what was being refered to in the earlier post by 740weapon, no?

[AHox244+T]

Did you ever put together a project thread on the car?

[kildea]

Did you ever put together a project thread on the car?

not really, there's almost one ... but nothing good.

i have photos of everything, it's just i must find some time - i was really waiting until i finished it, but that may never happen at this rate ... now it's the brakes, you around on sunday? i'm coming down that way.

[Karl Buchka]

Did you ever put together a project thread on the car?

Yeah, he posted a wall of text and no pics, then he promptly abandoned it.

[AHox244+T]

Prob wont be able to work on cars Sunday I have a full event schedule with the Fam.Im kinda stuck in a car funk until I get my wideband and my master cylinder :e-shrug: .
