Also the bloke who lost his licence for 18 months for a high speed chase, funny how they were upset a V8 dunny dore could not catch my poor little old Volvo......
Remind me NOT to allow you and my son meet! He's the kid who wouldn't let me pick him up outside the school in a Volvo. Guess who has a yard full of Volvos now; his wife's...... sort of stock, his......... wild, the local petrol heads won't take it on; embarassed to many sixes and eights! Project '76 244- 351 clevo, will be road legal........various other twos. Won't go into his Bedfords, Mk I Escort GT or Ser II Morris.Quote:

I have a friend who is currently preparing a 61 Volvo for Targa Tasmania. He has done it in previous years with a 64 Volvo but has retired that. It will be interesting to see how he goes.

well i made it to the front page of the geelong advertiser..... and copped the biggest fine and loss of licence known to Geelong courts at that time... charge.... careless and resisting arrest...
Pic of a $200 special i hung a skid in.....
I'm also known to most of my mates to be the only one they have known that can set tarmac on fire by a Volvo...... that i do wish i had on film... little spots of burning rubber on a 100m long skid....
