I've been reading / lurking here.. and a couple of the other Volvo enthusiast forums - and this one is MUCH better than... well, I'm sure most of you already know.. .

I'm a proud new(ish) owner of a 95 855 T-5R.. bought it sight unseen in december... thought it had a bad tranny - turns out all it needed was some love... mostly a thorough tune up / flush / enema / etc... put about 1000 miles on it and I'm loving it!

 

Welcome to the club, come on over to the 850 forum.

TLC is the key to keeping your 850 going for a long time, as well as knowing what common problems are.

Welcome....How's good old Ocala? I went to School in Gainesville so I got to run thru ocala a few times... Also been there to Devils Den and Ginnie springs to go diving.

 

Welcome

 

meh... ocala's my mexico...

its slo-cala if u know what i mean.. but when u come from a large city, its a nice change (for a while)

gonna go post some shizz in the 850 forum... will have to upload some pics I took of replacing the central locking gadget.. there's two different types, didja kno? <shrug>

we CFL'ers need to have a mini-meet.. at a hooters..... no, I don't eat meat.... yeah hooters -they have salad there don't they?

cod taco

 

Lol..... Dude, I didn't even know hooters served food! U ever in ORLANDO?

 

every once n a while... usually dropping off some relative at the airport n picking someone up... don't go there so much for recreation anymore tho..
kick the idea around.. maybe we can go and mess with tech... bring him some hot wings, a cold drink... and a couple of timing belts... lol

 

LOL sounds like a plan.

 

Lmao......That is the funniest thing anyone's ever written on here! I will buy the belts and drinks.

 

BTW I am only like 3 miles from the 429!!!
As long as the Hotwings show up I am game!!!

 

Welcome. I see you've met Tech. He's our resident genius.

 

Sorry I've been away.. not like you guys missed me..lol Been busy messing around in the housing market and neglecting the R a little. I did drop her off last week to have the timing belt / water pump / flame trap / air tube etc.. replaced / repaired. Damn AC went out (blower motor) had the rec / ac flashing lights of doom.... Cleaned out those f'n cabin sensors too - broke one of them (the thermistor) and had to disassemble the little bugger (fan assy) and re-attach it... works fine (no flashing lights)..

 

Im still waiting for the Hooters Mini meet,with timing belt and all, lol....... Don't be neglecting the R! That's not right! She misses you. Give her all the TLC you can afford. Sounds like she will be getting the best soon! .... Now go drive the R.....
