Our main car needs work. Rather than fix it, why not go out and get another car that needs work? Makes perfect sense I think

Just happy to hear you're doing well and that it was 'just' the flu. Good luck with the new video, can't wait!

2022-02-02 09:45:01 +0000 UTCYes! I need to post an update for my patrons. I was sick (flu, not Rona) for two weeks out of January, so I'm way behind now. I'm making good progress on the bus, so I expect the next phase and video to be ready in about two weeks

2022-01-01 09:25:23 +0000 UTCThe serpentine belts on those M113 V8s are a killer - make sure the tensioner itself is in good shape, as otherwise the belt will throw again (speaking from experience delivering pizzas a few years ago in an 02 s500 with the same motor)

2022-01-01 05:12:21 +0000 UTCDid you check that it was not just a broken clutch retainer at the pedal end of Volvo? Volvos do sometimes break those. Could be something like this: https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/accessories/din-assembly-parts/fasteners/clip-clutch-pedal/1055102/ ...or it could really be the clutch. I'd check this before ordering though. I myself have a spare clutch cable now because I didn't check mine before ordering. :)

2021-12-29 10:39:36 +0000 UTCAlso, sometimes a car is just something special and you'll put up with just about anything to keep it. My 1999 Range Rover Sport is forever giving me grief, but I love it so I fix it and wait for the next problem. Somehow though it's never left me stranded. It has the decency to always wait until I'm home before deciding not to start the next time I go to take it out.

2021-12-29 01:53:54 +0000 UTCThere’s a saying about German cars. The most expensive car in the world is a moderately priced used German car.
