Unleash the fury, thats is... THE VOLVO! - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**Lennon** · 06-25-2005, 09:34 PM

Yup, ya heard right. Volvo, so what am I talkin about you might ask? Let me tell ya.

Well, I sold the Z for good this time, she's gone off to Calgary permantly, to stay with her new owner, who is going to set quite the project for her... I'll post pics as he sends them to me. So its back to my winter beater.

So what is my new all season ride you might ask? Well... have I got a treat for you!

Check it, 1985 Volvo 240DL, thats right 1985, I know what your thinkin,

"Damn Lennon, you don't have to even e-test that motha!"

Well, thats right, I don't, but let me tell you about the amazing features this sucka has!

2.4L of stock fury! STANDARD!
Heated driver seat! STANDARD!
AC that had never worked! STANDARD!
Only one highbeam light that works! STANDARD!
Luxurious automatic tranny! STANDARD!

And mileage that only a trip the moon and back could get ya! STANDARD!

This is the car I took all the way down to Orange County New York to go see the boys of OC Choppers as some of you will remember.. check out the pics.

Clearly she's just a little dirty here, but when she's clean guys, she shines!

Got the wife to take this pic... and yup, thats right fella's.. SHE WAS FLOORED!

You should hear the stereo in this thing.. well, lack there of really, its just a gaping hole in the dash where a deck SHOULD be.. but well... decks cost money, and why listen to music when you can listen to all 80HP of the DL's 2.4L FURY!!!

.......I'm so sad right now.. seriously

As I watched the Z leave on the 18 wheeler today... I shed a little tear... (please don't tell anyone)

**webz** · 06-25-2005, 09:39 PM

sucks that you sold your project
enjoy the 'new' one

**Lennon** · 06-25-2005, 09:39 PM

And don't you worry Andrew, Mike, Nick, and Ian, and all you other important VM guys.... I won't discrace the VM name by putting our clubs sticker on it... I just can't even fathom how much that could deface the name...

Oh, and current mileage of this big pig, is a smooth 370,000kms on her... yeeeeaah.

**Knaws** · 06-25-2005, 09:58 PM

Don't worry the potential is there!

(im so sorry don't be mad

)

**Lennon** · 06-25-2005, 10:01 PM

Ya know, it woulda been all good, but then you went and slapped a MJ pic over my wifes face.... I'm still wondering how I'm supposed to react to that....

But I do realize its all in good fun... so for you, I presents, a COOKIE!

**Knaws** · 06-25-2005, 10:08 PM

Yeah... I know.. but I'd like something a little newer than the E30's.... so I dunno we'll see.

Maybe a Turbo Deisel Ram, see what I can maker do in the quarter..

Hey Destrukt.. why? Because I bought the car last year for $500, and its a-b for now.. thats why.

**jaysi** · 06-25-2005, 11:45 PM

I love everything about the E30 M3... except one thing. The S14 "powerplant" I mean yeah, its alright for a 4 banger... but I dunno, not reliable enough for me. I mean if I were to get an actual E30 M3, I'd love to just slap an M50 in there and call it a day. Way more reliable hp.

Or.. get a nice mint Fairlady... like ya said.
