I'm going to miss following this build.

Oh all sad on the build up to the new year, I hope you do manage to run a amazon in the near future.

I hope you stick around here

I won't be the spoiler Andy, I think the guys might get it now. ;-)

I do get it now. Too cold over here or not cold enough?

Ive never really got attached to a car Before but im really going to miss this one...

Bon Voyage old girl..... see you on the other side.....

this is home for the next month plus.....



too Cold Dai..... aussie bound

its not really about Cold or not but going home for a while none the less...

bit crazy to take the volvo with me but not much of this life has particularly been based on sensible decisions and its worked out reasonably good so far so why change now....

so...... onwards

ive been looking at this;

When I left Aus. it was with only two suitcases. Inside one of them was my Frisbee and a giant piece of Art. I always regretted not packing-up my 100 year-old pool table and putting her on a ship too.

Bon Voyage - as you know, Volvo drivers are a bit of a joke down-under, but you should be fine in that one. I did drive a newer Volvo down there, but can't steer you to anyone. Hmmm, there was someone on here with a thread/build from down-under; can someone locate it?

[Andy the Aussie]

Hi all - hope 2014 has been treating you an d your Volvo's well so far......

So.........

there is now one more amazon estate in Australia than there was last year....





so excited to have the old girl now at home with me, and I mean 'at home' in my own garage !!!!

Its awesome to be able to pop out and just sneak in a 30 minute fiddle with something.... (my workshop i the uk was 90mins drive away)

The move went fairly well, and no damage or loss just cost me lots of cash at this end to get everything through customs and quarantine but that was expected....
