Hi from Oz.... I don't know why its taken me this long to register on these forums, but anyway here I am. I'm from Sydney, Australia, 30 yrs old and love Volvos. My parents had Volvos from as far back as I can remember (first one i do remember was the evercool 164e) and my first car was a Volvo, ive owned a few different things but mainly Volvos, here's a little list!

144
244DL
264GL
244GLE (loved that one!)
850GLE - 1992
850SE - 1996

I currently own a Volvo C70 HPT (manual ^^), a XC70 AWD, and my pride and joy that i've had for many years and had ups and downs with, a 1980 242GT!

The 242 is going under some serious rework, like an idiot I left it out, unregistered sitting in my driveway for about 4 years, during this time it copped alot of rust with some other wear and tear, anywho its finally getting the treatment it deserves but im paying thru the nose for it lol!

The C70 is what I drive day to day and thats got an iPod adapter for my 60gb video iPod, its been lowered about 1.75" and hopefully very soon it'll have a stainless steel exhaust system fitted and perhaps a powerchip but I dont know alot about them so I havent decided yet.

I also have a website that babbles about random stuff www.volvodriver.com.au, its down atm for whatever reason but its not really about volvos its just about anything, there is a projects section which details stuff going on with the volvos though, anyway hope to post here alot, get some help and give some too!

 

Welcome to the club. Let us know when your site's up and running...i'd be interested to see the progress on your 242
