Another Scandinavian Repatriation Situation


Recommended Posts

Posted

Perhaps an explanation...

On Monday my appalling track record with cars surfaced again when the Xantia of otherwise perfect functionality developed a misfire and caught fire a bit. Whilst repairable the event confirmed something I'd suspected for a while... I don't like it enough to chuck big money at it, especially with some looming hydraulic overhauls and cosmetic issues it's just a bit too much.

So what to do?

It had not gone unnoticed that JohnK put his Volvo 850 up for sale recently and with hankering for another being strong it was a no brainer.

Which is why I was off in this;

To collect these;

With Andy CMS on his way here to assist in collection. Be nice to sit behind the wheel of a Volvo again.

 

TL;DR SVM bringing another Volvo north.

I see it all now, this is people hedging against a Scottish independence and the uncertainty of currency. Volvos will become a form of money.

I R DISAPOINT.

 

With the contunuing overseas adventures of Junkman and Conrad, I was expecting that you were actually bringing something back front Scandinavia.

 

Still, it's a cool second best.

All the Volvos are heading to Scotland because they know that by 2025 Scotland will be part of Scandinavia. It's like when birds fly away before a hurricane.

That is the face of a man who knows he will soon be enjoying one of Sweden's finest

The train in front of ours had it's brakes stuck on. Must've pulled the ABS fuse as we're moving again.

It's merely a balancing act this weekend what with the ex Mr Dugong / watanabe claiming my mate's (formerly my) red 960 for collection on Sunday.

You'll be able to buy that Pacer soon probably for about the same as you just paid for the Volvo.
