- I attempt to drive a 34 year old classic Volvo 244 across the continent (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France) and onto the ferry over to the UK.
Along the way I stop in at Volvo Klassiekeur Beurs 2022 and see some amazing classic Volvos.

Finally another video! Been watching you for a while. I also decided to create my own channel since you inspired me, although my videos wont help you much since they are/will be in Swedish :D
Sorry for the delay, this comment was held for review by CZcams, not sure why, check for that on your channel it happens a lot 😄 Thanks for the kind words! Wishing you the best of luck with it man 👍
@@Involvod Ah damn maybe cuz the channel is new. But tysm for the pin man:D
I drove my 1988 240 GL from Portugal to Northern Sweden in early 2022. 4500km. It didn't fail me once. It turned heads. It worked 👍🏻
Nice!
Wow! Thanks for sharing the pics of the Volvo show. There were some really beautiful cars there.
It was really so amazing to see, the video didn't do it justice!
It is amazing to see all the Volvos 240, 740 that limousine
12:25…. VGG moment 😅
When I saw the title for the video - I first answered to myself "But of course." If there was a road to the moon, it would take you there and back!
11:44 ooohh 264TE.. had one... still regret selling it years ago...
Recently drive mine 2400 miles across Australia - didn’t miss a beat 😎👍
13:07 I love this little shelf too, very handy for GPS without installing a clunky phone holder that clutters the beautiful interior :D
Onward and upward....keep us involvo'd
of course it will. 200.000 is nothing for these quality build machines.
I sold a 1987 240 here on the Canadian Westcoast for $250.00 advertising that buyer could drive it home.Someone from Canadian eastcoast bought it sight unseen and bought his wife out here to show her the country and drive it home.They had a new timing belt installed because I did not know how much milage was on the old one.They drove it home over 3000 miles across Canada !
Haha, so cool!
The Brit Expat is an expat no longer! Congratulations sir you have come full circle..............
Thanks, not sure if it's a good thing or not but we'll find out 😀
Hello from Canada and thanks for the road trip! Really enjoyed the Volvo gathering, I had a 1982 GLT... loved it!
Thanks!
The editing was amazing :D I really enjoyed to watch that!
Funny to Spot myself in the background at the Meeting :P
Thanks man, that's high praise coming from you!
It's a pity I visited the Rosmalen "beurs" on saturday. I missed out on meeting you, Lili and showing of my 240 Turbo with Involvo'd sticker 😉 Great trip, great car!
Sorry I missed you! Would have been nice to see a sticker, I don't recall seeing one! 😂
Not many people say 'thank you 'in Sydney, either. Glad to see she got you there.
Haha 😂 Thanks man
Good to see you made it :) if you find yourself up in North Wales before next June, then do reach out, and Lili can meet their estate cousin 😂 hope bringing the others over goes just as smoothly
Cheers! Keen to attend some Volvo meets over that way too!
The 240 will always be in a special place in our 💖. especially when you grew up in one.
Well, you came past my door (sort of) on your way to Dunkirk (Ostende...).
Welcome home Sledge. Lili did you proud, what a great car. Can't wait to hear about your new adventures.
Thanks 🙂👍
What an amazing car!
Glad you and Lily had a safe journey! It was really cool to meet you at the Klassieker Beurs, wishing you all the best in the UK! Greetings from the dude with the blue 740
Ah I see it was you! 😀 Was great to meet you too man thanks for saying hi!
This was such an incredible adventure to watch. I love seeing people take their 240’s on road trips, especially across multiple countries! Glad you made it and look forward to seeing all you do in the UK!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
When I go to visit my brother I will be sure to make a video. It will all be in Canada, but at over 3,000 miles it is quite the trip. Southern Ontario, at 250 ft above sea level, and 43.65°N to Faro, Yukon, 2,336 feet above sea level and 62.23°N. In a 32 year old car. Why not?
Loved every second of it! Thanks for taking us along. You will miss miss involvo'd and the cat, but will have Lili.
Thanks for watching! That's true, reunited with them next week 🙏
In April '14 I took my '90 740 GL out of storage after 7 years. It had been put away 'wet' but in excellent condition. I was moving so I had to drive it to my new home. I had less than a week to get it ready for the 3,900km trip. (Canada's a big country!) Basically, all I did was change the oil and filter and double check all the other fluids. (Pretty much everything had been done prior to it being stored and I didn't have a lot of time to do much more.) I had an exhaust leak between the catalytic converter pipe and the 'Y' pipe ahead of it. So, I replaced the gasket at the joint there with an aftermarket 'Made in India' gasket. I made a few short trips around where I lived to wring it out and see if everything was ready to go. It was.
I drove the 3,900kms in 74 hours. The only thing that gave me any trouble was the 'Made in India' gasket that blew out about 2 hours into the trip. (I think it was made of Indian cotton! lol) It gave the car a heck of an exhaust leak and threw out the readings of the oxygen sensor which affected the gas mileage and drivability. But nothing that wasn't surmountable. I picked up a new steel gasket at an auto parts store in Saskatoon but wasn't able to replace it until I arrived at my destination. So, I just put up with the noise and lousy gas mileage.
Anyway, that shows you what these 240, 740 and 940 Volvos are capable of - even after 7 years of storage! 'Volvo: A Car You Can Believe In'!
Absolutely! That sounds like an epic trip, hopefully you didn't inhale too much of those fumes 😂
@@Involvod Not too much but just enough! lol
Super super video! Thank you. A travel video and 240 video combined. It doesn't get any better than that.
Thanks for watching 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in the Netherlands and every time we go to Germany or Austria I only stop at a "autohof" for fuel (and the big M).
Thanks, need to do that next time!
Wow! Amazing.
I don't think the 940 GLE I have at home wouldn't last a trip like that, but glad your 240 did!
Keep up the great videos!
Thanks!
amazing video and car, I miss rwd volvos so much.
Hope you can get another one someday!
When you tried to start it with the relay out my brain immediately went, "Oooo, relay or the single fuse near the battery". The number of no start 240's I've solved with these two items.
I keep a couple with me for that reason 😄
wow, that was awsome, love it, great car, looking forward for next episode's, good luck
Thanks!
Welcome to the UK!
I took a 245 about 700 miles a few years ago down the west coast of the US, then the same distance back. It made it OK in the end but the trip was a lot more eventful. Lost all 4 of my belts near the California border and had to change them in a gas station lot at midnight. :( Then on the way down the mountain my rear muffler broke loose and everything got much louder. At least wired it to the bumper so it didn't bang around so much.
Then finally on the way home my O.D fuse kept blowing (found some rotted wiring later) so I spent a lot of time in 3rd on the interstate. Burned a quart of oil all told doing that I think. Overall was very glad I had some spares and tools in the 3rd row compartment. Probably would be a bit nicer in my current car since it's in better mechanical shape.
As far as roads go, the UK road you found is about as bad as some of the ones in Oregon. They are much nicer in Washington or California, I think it's a question of budget honestly... You can tell which state you're in by how much your car is rattling.
Shame you didn't have a camera rolling that would have been a much more eventful video than mine 😀 And that's a good point, it's amazing how things can change when you cross over the line
@@Involvod Haha. All the interesting stuff happened at night of course so the footage would have sucked. Was quite something seeing all the dash lights coming on and the temp gauge spiking when both the alternator belts blew at once though. Either bits of shredded belt did in everything else or something bounced up off the road and somehow wrecked the whole mess.
Definitely recommend having spares on hand if you're going far from home though. Was really glad I had put the old belts in the back when I replaced them rather than throwing them out.
Glad she made it. Glad to see you have a locking gas cap, I recently got one too. I thougt the 740's locked when the car was locked, but, recently found out that was somnething my Dad told me before he passed away and it wasn't true, anymore at least.
I had a non lockable one on the 740 and the other day I noticed the smell of petrol around the car, went to the gas cap and found it half on, I always do it up tight so I suspect someone tried to take the fuel! Got a lockable one for it now 😅
@@Involvod I cleaned out my tank, replaced the rusted fuel pick unit, I found rust, a failed fuel sock and what looked like ATF under the stale gasoline in my Dad's '92 740. Also replaced the mid body fuel pump (sounded jammed, probably with rust flakes inside) and she still won't start. Next have to overhaul the injectors with a kit I got from ebay. I had a setback the last 6 months and had to stop working on it due to a an injury (broken arm and neck injury). I hope to get back to it soon. Your videos help inspire me!!! On another note, I can tell you as someone who lived in Switzerlandf for 10 years, have family there, citizenship and spoke the language fluently (with a flat accent), the first 7 years were great, I trained and modernized several people in the technical side of my profession. I was a technician to the local creative craftsmen in my field. The last 3 were miserable, when I moved up from technician to the role of the creative craftsman, completing with more of the established locals for a better paying job. I had to put up with a lot of BS. Getting home to the USA was the best decision I could've made. Glad you found a solution and I hope it works for Miss Involv'd too. Working as a foreigner in, even with all the papers & language, can be a lesson in futility, in some countries. In both my week-long visits to Berlin, it seemed like a great place to visit, but, even my German born German language teacher left Berlin after 10 years b/c making a living there was so difficult (1995-2005). He took us there on a long weekend, privately (not part of the classes at the Klubschule) his friends there were driving taxis and giving tours, becasue they could find not work in the field they were trained in. I hope it's better now. I enjoyed your garage by the tram turn around and all your hard work with hand tools & simple solutions, similar to what I have in my driveway. Good luck back in the UK!
@@philliptodd8242 thanks for the kind words! It was definitely an eye opener for me and a big culture shock. I agree Berlin is a fantastic place to visit, living there long term is a bit of a different story, it depends on what kind of person you are.
Glad to hear you're making good progress with your Volvo and that the videos are helping! Really appreciate the support 🙏
We own a old 144 from '73 (B20) and it's easily able to do those mileages. Old Volvo's are beasts!
Definitely!
That blue 740 was identical inside to my first G-reg. I loved the blue
I drove mine from upstate NY to texas and back when i was on leave last year
Must have been a great trip!
What a fantastic adventure! Thank you for taking us along. That was a really cool Volvo show and a ferry ride would be a lot of fun.
Looking forward to the adventures!
Thanks for watching dude!
بالعربي أين هذه السيارة وكم ثمنها وهي للبيع
Brought back memories :D great vid.
Thanks for watching!
What a great event! Loved that GDR limo!
Gorgeous wasn't it!
wow that 740 engine bay...
Super clean wasn't it!
You should stop at an Autohof, they are just off the Autobahn and a lot cheaper. Autohofs are also signed on the Autobahn.
Thanks, definitely the plan for next time 👍
Thank you for a brilliant very enjoyable video. What a brilliant car she is. 34 years old built like a tank and no reliability problems / breakdowns in all those miles. I thought she was going to fail to start in Dunkirk until you revealed the ' poor mans anti theft device' . You also showed how very poor the roads are generally in the UK compared to Europe. Keep on enjoying your adventures in her.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I have an 89 240 identical to yours in color. Love the car, drive it daily. If the flame trap/PCV system is clogged, it will leak oil in various places. That limo was amazing. None of those in the US. Thanks for taking us on your journey.
Thanks! I recently did the glove test on this car and thankfully it's still ok. Nipped up one of the valve cover nuts and it looks like it's stopped 🤞
In your video, I recognized the Volvo stretch limo from East Germany, which belonged to Erik Honecker, the former Easter German Communist leader. I saw two or three of them drive down Schoenhauser Allee in East Berlin back in the summer of 1989, a few months before the Berlin Wall fell.
I see no reason to doubt her ability, especially in three sections. At 200,000 miles she is nicely run in. Wish I could post a picture of Arthur, my 1990 DL Estate. Ma bought him new, so his entire history is with us. All 32 years and nearly 400,000 miles. I would not think twice about his ability to travel 800 miles in a single trip. After all, that's only about a tank and a half of fuel at the very most. Before I changed jobs there were many weeks I did 1,000 miles without even considering whether we would make it or not. Now I will watch the video. I see no reason why a 240 should leak oil. The 2.3 litre in my 90 DL Estate has exactly the same amount of oil come out as went in at the previous change. It is even a good colour!
great to see the old girl made it with no problems. fantastic. These cars are meant for the open road. One day I would love to do a driving holiday all through Europe and Great Britain in my old boy. That road around London looks dead easy. I grew up with Ontario Highway 401. Up to 16 lanes in 4 carriageways, 2 in each direction, across the top of Toronto. 2,000,000 vehicles a day use that road. Lots of fun, and the Volvo 240 is the best car for the job. The visibility out is a big factor in the passive safety of the car.
The road surface on the M25 in that section has been like that for 20+ years I've been driving. Always make me think I've got a flat tyre. Congratulations on your 900-mile trip and welcome back to England. Can I book you to work on my wagon now haha
Haha, crazy! And thanks 😄 👍
That starter noise❤ what a great video dude. I even interrupted a VGG video to watch this instead as soon as the email popped up! I would so love to go to that show one year
Thanks man, it's definitely worth the trip!
Very nice video! Loved the editing. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks for watching!
Found this channel a few weeks ago and as a fellow swedish person i love to see the old volvo restoration etc its amazing, ive owned alot of older volvos aswell and love them!.
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it, especially from the Volvo motherland. Much appreciated!
That car show was awesome!
One down, one to go! Well done, just shows your maintenance and repairs worked so well! Welcome to UK traffic 🙂
Haha, cheers!
Epic journey! Kind of sad seeing you and the 240 leave the continent. But also happy that you'll be finally driving on the right (sic!) side of the road. All the best and keep them videos coming... Cheers, mate!
Thanks, onwards to a new adventure!
Hey sledge, thanks for taking us along on ur journey to England, the Volvo show was cool and seeing the white cliffs of Dover from the ferry was nice!😉
Thanks! Thought people would appreciate that!
absolutely stunning examples of Volvo's wowww!
It really was!
What a adventure! Thank you for sharing. I don't know if I have the guts to take mine that far anymore.
Thanks for watching! I'm still nervous about taking the 740 that distance, but to be honest I think I would be in any car, maybe even more so with a new car 😀
Super brilliant video! Glad you made it back safe. Here's to lots of UK adventures!
Thanks, yes indeed! 🍻
Great video!
I can’t stop taking my 945 Turbo on trips! These old RWD Volvos are such great road cars, and like you said, fun to drive.
Jealous of that car show by the way, but I’ve been spotting more and more old 240s out on the back roads, so now I’m making a game of it! 😉
Congrats on a safe trip!
Thanks! The turbo wagons are such great cruisers!
What a nice trip, I enjoyed it all the way.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Took my 940 recently to Vienna-Budapest-Sarajewo-Split-Dubrovnik-Podgorica-Kotor-Split-Rijeka and back to Germany...... 3800km... broke my exhaust in Sarajewo, but other than that the thing never missed a beat. Awesome machines.
I've never heard of most of those places 😄 Kudos to you man, must have been a great trip!!
@@Involvod Ahh come on 3 of these were capital cities the rest is down the adrian coastline croatia and Montenegro... But amazing. I bought that Volvo for this purpose and I am still missing Baltic and nordic countries in Europe, the rest I already did =).
Lovely channal of yours helped me at least once fixing my 940 =)
Well done - hope you enjoyed the journey - made a good video. No one here is surprised the car made it - that's what they do.
And top security tip with the fuel pump relay.
Thanks 👍
In all my years of travel to the UK, I never attempted to drive there. I had enough trouble just walking around! Happy for your safe trip!
Haha, thanks!
Ooph well done dude, and welcome back! Real long journeys can be exhausting and emotional, especially on your own. My driver's seat is knackered too, gonna go for Alfa 156 seats, which almost fit straight in (plenty in the breakers 😂) great vid dude.
It was emotional, especially leaving the other half and everything else behind but still tried to enjoy it and make the most of it, not the sort of thing you get to do every day and been keen on the idea of driving across Europe ever since early 2000's Top Gear and The Bourne Identity 😂
Good luck with the seats, keen to see how you get on!
My driver's seat in my 1990 is the passenger seat out of an 84 GL. For now. Needs must when the Devil drives.
@@michaeltutty1540 I guess a passenger seat is going to be less worn, good idea. Does the backrest adjuster fit beside the handbrake console? as it would be on the other side. When budget allows it will be an Alfa seat as some come with armrests, something I do miss from the 940/960.
Sledge I have loved this video a Volvo doing exactly what it should be crunching miles. That Volvo show is on my list for next year definitely!
Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully you can get that Amazon in that lovely line up!
@@Involvod oh I really hope so. Welcome back to the uk buddy. Can’t wait to meet up and see your lovely Swedish beauties
Wonderful video! Thanks for posting! Very interesting to see a road trip across Europe. Recognized the UK inspection area from the UK border patrol videos. The traffic at Canterbury looks challenging but drivers seemed courteous it looks ok. Regards from Los Angeles, the motor mayhem capital of the universe.
Thanks for watching! There were a few bad drivers but it really wasn't bad considering the density of the place!
Glad you had a safe journey, looking forward to a new beginning for the channel!
Thanks 👍 Involvo'd 2 here we go!
Great video, really enjoyed it and the 240 was impeccable. Welcome to the UK. Got to meet up one day!
Thanks Gentil! Definitely!
"Will this 1988 Volvo 240 Drive 800 Miles across Europe?" - lol I think you could drive it to Mars should they build a road there ;) Great footage!
So true! Thanks 👍
It cost me £90 to brim Bev in Tenby and that was ‘only’ £1.50 per litre compared to average £1.65 here 😏 it’s a joke
Funny how the roads in Europe look cared for and efficient yet as soon as you get here everything’s a mess and looks sad 😞 welcome home anyway
It was quite a contrast!
That's possibly cuz, at least in France, our highways have some very expensive tolls. I think Paris to Nice is at least 50€ in tolls. The Michelin travel website actually tells you.
Didn't know that @bluej511, I figured in Germany it was because of the high speed
@@Involvod yeah it's quite pricey here, it's privately ish owned i think but the roads are in immaculate conditions, the highways at least. If you get up to the mountains where they race the rally de Monte Carlo it's a different story. I think the Michelin route planner gives you toll prices for a trip. It's pretty cool.
😂😂 stop please, the roads in belgium are worse than yours by far. I’m prepared to bet on that😊
Take it on a winter roadtrip trough Norway. Drive to North Cape and Kirkenes.
Knew she would make it, well done, lovely video ! Is the missus doing the same journey is the other one ! Keep em coming.
She doesn't drive (yet) so I'm going back to collect her and the other one 🙂
Great Video. Whenever I am on a busy 4 lane freeway, I feel stressed, with cars to the left, cars to the right, behind and ahead all jostling for position. Much prefer single lane country road, even though the cars are coming the opposite way with only a white line separating them. 😅. I thought customs would have been a hassle getting into England. Maybe I have watched too many Airport Documentaries.lol.
More fanfare here in Australia with big Signs or monuments stating you have crossed a State Border. 😂
Yeah it was so nice to get into the countryside here! I did enjoy driving the A1 in Australia!
Sledge, you've been spoilt living in Berlin. Welcome back to good 'ol Blighty. The roads are just as bad as ever (that's one reason I own an XC90). There's a couple of sections of the M1 between junction 42 and where it merges with the A1 that are like that at 21:30 It feels as if you've got a flat tyre. I had to go that way yesterday when I brought the caravan back home. Is your good lady gonna be joining you later on?
Crazy isn't it! Yes she's coming over, along with another Volvo 😄 Couldn't be without them!
Funny you should mention about the positioning on the road when you are in UK. I learned that the hard way with my right hand drive LDV Convoy. I had used the van in 2010/11 to move my stuff from UK to Hungary but then I got a small left hand drive car when the Convoy MoT ran out. A couple of years later I was trying to get the Convoy registered in Hungary but needed to take it to a mechanic about 90 miles away. On the way there I must have been driving too close to the oncoming traffic because my passenger mirror hit the mirror of an oncoming truck (who didn't even stop). This also smashed the door glass.
Damn, can definitely see how that could happen easily, especially with a wider vehicle
Really enjoy your channel and this video. Being in the UK it was nice to see some perspective of how we compare to mainland Europe. Oh yes the M25 can be very unpleasant, avoid on Fridays! That electric 240 was the first I've seen, very interesting.
Noted! The next trip through will be on a Saturday, but I might try and avoid it all together!
@@Involvod Saturdays don't mean anything! It's best early in the morning (4-5am) or later around 10-11am. Otherwise it only slowly gets worse until about 7pm. If I have a load of distance to cover I always leave the house at about 4am to get as far away from it as possible 😂😂
I really enjoyed the video. Thrilling to watch. I was at the Klassieker Beurs too with my 940 estate, but already on Saturday. I got as excited as you did 😍 As a german I felt sick seeing you drive on the "wrong" side 🤢😅 The poor mans anti theft method killed me 🤣How is Lili´s differential doing? Wishing you and Ms. Involvo´d all the best in the UK!
Sorry I missed you! The diff doesn't seem to be any noisier so we should be in the clear for now 👍 And thanks!
Lovely trip. The price of that first petrol stop about gave me a heart attack!
Last time I stop for fuel directly on the highway 😂
Greetings from Sydney, Australia. Petrol price today, 20th October, 2022. 91 Octane $1.75. 95 Octane $188. 98 Octane $197. Diesel $2.37. So, I feel your pain. I drive a diesel Toyota Prado. Great video mate.
Welcome back to Blighty!
Cheers mate!
There’s probably a McDonalds on the moon to be fair 😂
Really fun to watch you travel across so many countries. When will you bring the car back "home"? I mean to Sweden 😂😋 Also, did it feel strange coming back to the UK and drive on the wrong side of the road after experiencing the proper way to drive, on the right hand side that is 😂😃
Would be great to bring her back over to Sweden one day! Planning to stop with the Volvo 740 at the Volvo plant in Ghent where she was built!
Being sat next to the sidewalk/hedge is definitely strange still getting used to it 😀
Thanks for sharing the adventure! Lili is a perfect tourer! Wow! Need to visit Netherlands at some point! The left side traffic scares me so much 🤣
She really is! Netherlands is nice, would like to see more of it
Welcome back to the Midlands! Sort of 😅 bring on the rain!
Nice 👍
Your beard is looking strong 💪
Thanks 😄
Nice 240 f9r being around 35 years old.
sure u can and if any proble its probably something easy to fix that anyone can do almost ....
You can't say it doesn't drip when it's running, because it's exactly when it pushes the oil out, you just don't see it)
nice volvo :)
Thanks 👍🙂
[Foreign]. I found it amusing that this appeared in the English subtitles. It's Brummie, not Swahili!
Just out of curiosity, how much a trip like that costed you?
Nice video btw
What an amazing trip across so many countries.
And what's an average fuel consumption during the journey and does the engine consume oil?
@0:43 It is a proper spec GL. GLT IMHO isn't worth it because you pay double the price for hardly any improvement and DL is for cheapskates. Otherwise, those GLTs are usually low mileage and sometimes come equipped with the slightly more powerful engine. Currently there is one GLT available in Belgium with leather interior 135 instead of 116 horsepower and less than 300.000 km on the odometer for €9000. If someone could haggle in French and was willing to spend a bit more, that would be a good choice, I think. 😊
lindo auto
Ni problem 🇸🇪🇸🇪👍
What is that "antitheft relay" you pulled out? Would be nice to somtimes do that on my own 240. 😅
I can imagine such a road trip with this car is a pretty joy. Do you know how was the average fuel consumption? Maybe it‘s not the most important thing but I wonder how would it be to drive such a car every week on my trips… and the fuel cost does matter now more than ever… Greets, Rob from BLN
I would have liked to include it as people must have wanted to know, but I made too many short fill ups.
But when I took her to Poland recently she did just over 8 litres per 100km on the Autobahn, which I was very impressed with!
@@Involvod thanks for the info! Maybe is it an idea for your next road trip, I mean not the main goal of the whole trip but it would be interesting, I suppose for many. Greets! By the way, 8 Liters is not much for this car 👍
Really nice gauges @13.02 I have the same set. How did you hook your oil pressure gauge up?
Thanks! I'm actually going to include it in an upcoming video, but I had to buy a €70 sensor with 2 pins, one for the gauge and one for the cluster
@@Involvod perfect! Also amazing video!
I had a wine-red Volvo 244 in 1981. Your car is lovely. Do I see a cut in the dashboard and can you fix it?. Mark from Holland 🙂
Oh very nice! They had some seriously beautiful colours. The dashboard is cracked, I don't know how to fix it to be honest! There may be the possibility of a right-hand drive conversion in the future, in which case I'd hopefully be able to find a crack free dash 🤞
@@Involvod Supercars for sure. Yep, I believe that left-hand drive might be a little unhandy in the UK lol ;)
Are you staying in England? How long have you spent in Berlin then? Nice roadtrip brother! Mine is roadworthy and i start circling more and more distant circlesfrom my home.’..coast Belgium
Yeah moved to England now, just need to go back for the other Volvo (and the missus 😄) and you will gain more and more faith in it the more you use it 👍
@@Involvod i m getting stoked on these bricks….i share the seeking through all small obsticals as a diyer.’…so great you share it with us! You do it amazingly well, with humor, style, and a feel for what is relevant to share! I owe you, thx brother! Will you continue the channel when in England? Regards, Bob tbe Belgian, volvo 244 85, 230A motor, matt black😇
Thanks man I appreciate it! Definitely going to try my hardest to keep the channel going!
