Tampa Bay Area, Southwest Florida!
 
I'm a new Volvo owner ('94 850 Turbo wagon) in St. Pete, in the Tampa Bay area looking for fellow Volvo folks to learn from, hang with, etc. I'm working with my best friend/mechanic to do some modding on my car but I'd love to meet people who have already done it! Anyone in town?

AMELIAdetonated 12-10-2013 07:45 AM

I'm in St. Pete and I LOVE hanging out with other Volvo folks. Anyone can PM me if you want to hang out. (:

dreampod5 12-10-2013 09:26 AM

cool deal. maybe we will have to set something up. i know one other guy that has a C30 too and he lives in Tarpon Springs.

AMELIAdetonated 12-10-2013 12:11 PM

Sounds good. We could all hook up in DT Dunedin or something that's close(ish) to everyone.

dreampod5 12-10-2013 12:32 PM

dreampod5 12-12-2013 12:16 PM

Just bought my `02 V70 t5 about 2 weeks ago...im in the Lutz area (just a few miles from Tampa)

Welcome to the group here in the Tampa Bay area. Very nice wagon to own. Simple to maintain and easy to get parts for. let me know if and when you guys want to do something. I am in Largo

dreampod5 12-30-2013 08:10 AM

welcome to the madness!! always wanted a V70..of course in the "R" trim. lol

AMELIAdetonated 12-30-2013 08:19 AM

I sadly am unable to drive my Volvo wagon anymore. As crazy as this may sound, it has become unsafe. The interior was vandalized and the dash is loose, the ABS is going, my bearings in my block are deteriorating, and the airbags are no longer functional, among other things. For the time being, I'll be driving a Blazer until I can get into something a bit more fitting, like another 850. I'll miss you guys!

dreampod5 12-31-2013 10:01 AM

ouch..sorry to hear that! :(

I know this post is old but anyone else here in the area?? Im in hudson myself and im tryna hunt down all the volvo enthusiasts in the area

I just purchased a used '07 S60 T2.5 a few months ago. Was a Tampa dweller (It's still my "Home") and now living in Okee--Patooie---Chobee.
We get to Tampa a few times a year and would love to hang out with other Volvo people.
You may want to check out Dan's Volvo Service in South Tampa...I had a Volvo years ago and this guy was recommended by just about everyone in the profession. He's a proverbial encyclopedia of Volvo....and one heck of a Jazz musician.

Local volvo guy. Also wanting some fellow 850 friends to help out and vice versa. 1995 850 turbo manual

dreampod5 01-02-2015 05:00 PM

it seems most of the volvo owners out this way are hard to find..let alone meet up with :(

Dr.Mike 01-03-2015 02:38 AM

Agreed we should have a meet and greet / swap meet

Volvolicious 01-03-2015 09:26 AM

Its the same with me. Im on a couple forums and a local facebook page and its just so hard to find people to meet up and hang out with, ive just kinda given up on it haha

Studiusbagus 01-03-2015 01:31 PM

We live in Okeechobee but are continually falling in love with our S60, certainly willing to do a meet and greet in the area...Tampa area and south. My wife would love to meet other Volvo enthusiasts....she's gone Volvo bonkers!
