Work haha, been bouncing around the country the last 5+ years. Hoping to stay here for a while. Might make one final move down south in the future, we'll see.
I needed a cheap daily to commute with and everything sort of played itself to putting me back in a Volvo. Pretty happy about it haha.

Oh dang that's you!
I grew up in Watson lake. We always had Volvo's living there.
I love the Yukon. I haven't been back since 2015 when we went to Dawson city for a wedding. Got to go onto Tony beets dredge and shoot a 50 cal with him. How random.

I'm pretty interested in your 16v build! Motor build is a ways in the future but trying to slowly narrow down what i want. Tony Beets is a character, I applied to fly for him years and years ago but never heard back haha.

Noticed this 1994 945T for sale locally and made a deal with the Seller, will be picking it up next week. The 1994 /95 turbo wagons are becoming rather scarce, have been looking locally and one or two came up for sale which tells you something. This one has grey leather interior.

Might wander over but cannot guarantee - the silver '94 945T certainly needs a run but the weather is a bit spotty, it never goes out unless it is dry. Best to bring the daily driver I suppose if I get there. The green '94 945T is currently in the middle of having an upgrade to the '95 booster and pedal assembly, front brakes and some other odds and ends but hope to have it on the road within a month..
And simply to troll the wealthy Asian youngsters at UBC...Leivon

Whoops, missed even the announcement for the August meet. I've been busy.
So we just sold our house, and I'm cleaning out my garage and crawlspace. Over the years, about a half dozen RWD Volvos have come here to die. mostly '85 and older 240s, including a rare factory intercooled turbo sedan.
People who know me know I'm not much for throwing stuff out. I have a pretty big stash of cool stuff and almost all of it needs to go.
So, next weekend, I'm having a garage sale/meet in an effort to thin this stuff out and try to keep it out of the landfill/scrapyard.
Unfortunately, my barbecue is somewhere inside a seacan stacked up in Poco, so it won't be a meat like we used to do. Unless someone shows up with a portable grill. I think I can come up with some soft drinks and a cooler.
I don't have a raffle or a contest planned, like Leivon usually does, but I'll probably try to give you some parts to take home.
Sorry for the short notice, I was hoping to do this earlier in the summer, but selling a house is a tonne of work.
Details:
Saturday September the 9th.
2905 Jane St. in Port Moody
Start at 10:00am, I'll be here all day.
Show up in a RWD Volvo if you can. I'm two blocks from the skytrain if you broke it.
Lots of parking on the street.
If someone could cross post this to the local facebook group and wherever the Volvo club folks post, that would be great.

Not far. We got a new apartment a few blocks away.
I'm looking forward to slashing a digit off of the heating bill, but there is no room for the bones of a half-dozen old Volvos, so everything must go!
I've still got a bunch more to drag out of the crawlspace, and there are plenty of good treasures already.
Saturday Saturday Saturday!
Don't miss the RWD garage sale of the decade!
Plenty of parking and plenty of neat stuff to gawk at!
