Yeah, these old Volvo cars and engines is great.... Unbreakable....
Don't laugh at them at the stop signs and signals, because you never now what is hidden under the hood.
Many of these old cars still running on Swedish roads.

You can also have fun with a Volvo Amazon.

We've got an HQ Monaro, badly in need of resto. It's a long term project.
An XA GS Fairmont in wild violet - hubby's pride and joy.
An EB GT Falcon in pearl black, with a genuine 40,000km on the clock.
The i30.
A 100 Series 4.2TD GLX 'Cruiser wagon, and a 75 Series ute.
Will post more pics sometime, when I can find some.

Hi MelWA, is your EB build number 127 (going from your plate)?
You have some nice cars there. Love those GT's.
Do you belong to any clubs in W.A.?

MelWA · **Reply #65: July 21, 2009, 11:01:43**

Thank you

Yes the EB is #127. We are in the Falcon GT Club of WA, and the pics of the EB were taken while we were in and around Adelaide for the Nationals at Easter this year. That was certainly an experience, those die-hard GT fanatics live and breathe GTs and it all gets a bit much after five minutes! It is a great car to drive up through the Adelaide Hills, and I did squeal the tyres at the lights to burn off an XY

We met someone who used to live in our home town in NZ, and hubby's old boss was there too.

Good stuff Mel.. Why would hubby be more stoked with the Fairmont than the GT

Probably cos it's nearly as old as he is

They don't make 'em like they used to - the cars, not husbands

But then...

Hey Mel i owned a XYGT new and drove a phrase one HO to queensland and back to run it in with a friend that just bought it, in them days you could drive cars, think we went over 140MPH on the new england, i think they still had a tick gate up on the Queensland boarder. Mel when you drive those old GT's at high speed they shake and tremble that much you think they will fall apart, but they were a good car in there day and fun, heavy steering and you ran out of brakes.
cheers

I've also got about 20 1:18 scale and about 110 1:64 scale Biante models - Ford and Holden. My favourite is Possum Bourne's Subaru in 1:18.

Close...

from wikipedia..

'Bourne earned his nickname, "Possum", the night he crashed his mother's Humber 80, while trying to avoid a possum in the middle of the road'
