You deny the misogynist old men white boys club is does not exist within garages and car clubs? Met loads of people like me? As in people like me? Me with different colour skin?

I didn't read his post as racist in itself. I saw it the other way round: as a reference to the racism he's experienced when trying to get help with his car problems.

As someone who is also young, I've not experienced this at all. The garage I use has a wide array of clientele, from young lads with a rusty Austin Allegro and another restoring a Porsche 924, to old classic Italian and Americana, to modern supercars, and everything in-between.
Primera GTs are nice cars, one of the best handling saloons from the 90s by all accounts, and was the first privateer car to win a BTCC race. They just need about 50hp more umph.
Cats (and dogs) are pointless busywork, but enjoy.

An awful lot of garages are just really bad. They might be snobbish about a Primera “not being to a classic”, and might think you’re going to waste their time…if so, take it somewhere else!
You’re right, there aren’t that many non-white people in the Volvo “scene”. Not sure why that is, but I’m confident that it’s not that they’re not welcome…and for that matter one of the best-known and most active people in the scene over the past 15 years or so isn’t white, and is welcomed just like everyone else. I don’t know the back-story here, but it seems a shame to bin useful and valuable parts. FWIW, I buy and sell a fair bit on eBay, and very rarely have any trouble. cheers James

there are plenty of non white folk in the northern volvo groups with facebook groups you can look up the person to see who and what they look like mostly .un like the forums where people are mainly anonymous dependant on what they put on there profile.

Typical garages are only interested in simple service and brake changes As to Electric cars the tide is already turning on them and finding garages that will work on them will be even harder |
