Hey guys, I could come with the 240 and pull you guys to genk, there is a Volvo dealer.
You are 45 min away from me...
My dad would have come if he did not have to go to work....

I've called James 2 times now, but he isn't answering his phone.
Can anyone give me Chris' number?
Or could you call me Chris? ;)

EDIT: they have made it to a garage, James is making a test run, car seems to be working again :)

Exactly, 7 years!! Time flies! Happy birthday to the board :D

I saw the 740 limousine yesterday, very funny! I was speaking to James on the phone, I had an adress for them (a Volvo freak in Meeuwen with a lot of parts) but they managed to find a garage. The Golf was also ready to pull the 740 :D :D

EDIT: Should prolly mention that the beaver tail that rescue'd us and gave us the new coil we needed was a TurboBricks dude, Joris who is "Volvo78244". How awesome and community spirited is that :D

I think this is known as the "Foggy reverse Midas effect"

Everything he touches, turns to broke.

Well done the Volvo community. Helping out FT-EURO-W.

This sounds like a proper trip and by photos weather could not been better, one crazy thing to remember for years, I bet :mrgreen:

I did found this board few days before I went shopping a car, without this board I might not ever got into 300, funny how long ago that is, also reminds me that it is around 4 years since 360 was used actively :shock:
