Not only am I a new member but I am a first time Volvo owner, a 1999 V70 T5 that I purchased in Florida 2 weeks ago. I have been a CAR FREAK since the 60's, building 1/4 mile race cars. After I finally grew up (LOL) I turned my attention to Corvettes, doing frame-off restorations on the C1 & C2 cars (53-62 & 63-67). The cars we presently own are:
62 Corvette - 33 years
65 Shelby Cobra - repllica
83 Mercedes Benz 380 SL
84 Z28 Camero
99 T5 (that really 'kicks' for only being a 2.3 L)

Looking forward to having many years of safe, happy motoring.

Glenn B

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it resourceful.

BE sure to post questions & answers in the V70 forum for the best results. Also, keep up with scheduled maintenance; if taken care of, Volvos can compete against Japanese makes head-to-head in terms of longevity & durability.

Cheers,


JPN

I want to see pictures of all your cars. Probably the 62 Vette more than the others though.

Here's a walk through for creating a photo gallery:

https://volvoforums.com/m_27789/tm.htm

Or, you can upload as an attachment, except this only allows only a pic or two.

The heck with Vette/Shelby Cobra, I want to see steam-powered Mercedes & Ford T-Series!!!

Thanks JPN
I have posted a few pics in the Gallery but unfortunately the Camero and Mercedes were camera shy at this time. As soon as they come out of hibernation in the spring I will update my gallery.

Cheers
