  • After traveling all around Scandinavia and visiting various automotive events, we could clearly see that the locals really love their own Nordic car brands, especially one brand in particular - Volvo. And there is no wonder why. Almost all Volvo's up until early 90's were rear wheel drive, robust as hell and pretty darn good looking if you are into "sharp" and "boxy" cars. It's a perfect combination for anyone who wants to build a fun drift car. We had a lot of nice shots with old turbobricks going sideways, parked as stance cars and just still being used as a daily car and that's why we decided to throw some of the clips together and show them off. Enjoy the mixture of 740's, 240's, 940's and some other bricks rolling/drifting around!

    As a Swede, watching people dream about getting a Volvo and complaining about parts being hard to find is actually hilarious to me. Not in the derogatory way, but mostly because over here it's so goddamn easy to find a good RWD Volvo 2/7/940 for less than $1000, and parts are absolutely abundant at car depots and junkyards. I've owned three Volvos so far and I've trouble imagining I'll ever get something else!

      You cannot rationally state conclusively that the "Volvo" prolonged her life (you can't save a life, you can only prolong one), especially not by comparison with other cars. You have no control against which to compare, and you can't even quote statistics because 83% of statistics are misleading. Oh, I suppose that if she had been standing right there in that lane with no car around her she'd have gotten bunged up a little.

      Given that just about one hundred billion (one hundred thousand million if you're British) people have lived on this mudball over all of human history, and not one of them has ever exhibited any sign of being immortal, the likelihood of human immortality is less than 1:100,000,000,000. That's close enough to be called a certainty for most purposes. Then you add in our current understanding of genetics in general and telomeres in specific and those odds get more extreme.
      We won't even get into the wholly irrational proposal of "time machines", which can only be thought of it terms of "magic", since due to obvious reasons they cannot be thought of within the context of real-world physics.
      There are many other aspects upon which I won't touch here. The notion of human immortality is, quite simply, ridiculous and insupportable.

    The only damage I took was a broken nail.
    It took only 30000₽ to make it run again even though the parts has different colors.
    When I had a turbo 945 which I had to sell due to money problems. It was such a piece of a machine!
