Bah it's better to forget it, I will survive.

Everything will definitely stay free here, the technical section too with all the Volvo technical documentation used by the garages (the green brochures, shortly online). Because it's a real pity (my point of view) to restrict the access. I am a real Volvo enthousiast and the best mentality is to share as much as I can. I could understand the restriction for the technical documentation but for brochures with the models, I don't really agree. But ok the VOC is a national club, we are "only" a little personal website...

yeah loads of posts-was on holiday last week in scotland/norfolk ! took the glt ! no probs except on my way home front wheel bearing started making noises-i think i may have over tightened it !!
any way in norfolk;
my brothers 5 litre v8 ford bronco,his friends chevvy and the old glt all parked in a line,we all standind next to cars on sea front,when we hear this loud voice "look at that,its in mint condition,havent seen 1 like that for years",we all look around and my brother jumps into life "yeah its a bronco,just got it" ! the guy looks at my brother strangely "not the american's the volvo !!"
made me smile :mrgreen:

in scotland;
all young people in civics,supras etc wave at me all the time,whenever im pulled over they come over and ask about the car ! "is it quick? is it front wheel drive? " . "jump in i'll take you down the road and back" . now they know !!! :D
