Ansett747 | Jonathan I have seen negative complaints about Caltex Marulan is not Caltex. Technically it's Metro and it doesn't accept Ampol card. So the new pit stop is Caltex Woolworths located 180 Hume St, Goulburn NSW 2580. You'll may see a giant sheep as a tourist attraction! ?
Ansett747 | Jonathan 30 Days left to go! Anyone in Victoria who are keen to join a long drive. Drop ya comment below. Possibly only two Victorian Volvo OZ drivers will join group drive from Tallarook to Sydney on Thursday.
Ansett747 | Jonathan Ensure you have enough funds to fuel up your car. Because the fuel price is sh*tty!
PaddlerEd For those travelling from foreign lands, this website and app are useful: https://www.fuelcheck.nsw.gov.au/NSW servos have to update within 15minutes of a price change.
Ansett747 | Jonathan Approximately we pay around $60 to $100.00 when reached 100KM to 250KM drive per pit stop. I've just fueled up my car reached 370KM and ended up paying $100. Anyway hopefully the fuel drops slowly to 205.7 or lower, just spotted one at Fentree Gully and made my bad mistake. xD

Ansett747 | Jonathan Final reminder announcement to see anyone from Regional or local will meet up at Tallarook North Bound (Start from 9am to 10.30am) and Albury (15 - 30 Minutes Short)

But 91 burns a lot of fuel. I could add 95 octane which is compatibe to my car. If it's eligible to claim tax.
Ansett747 | Jonathan Bought some goods at AutoBarn with staff pricing. I might clean today but I have filming in the afternoon. So I'll do thorough wash and bumper restoration on Monday all day.
Ansett747 | Jonathan Pie In the Sky meet up won't get scrapped. We still meet up to wait for any other Volva drivers in Victoria and Sydney. We can have early lunch, morning tea. Just to fill up for a long hour drive.
Ansett747 | Jonathan Let's hope for a steady weather. Showers is fine but push away thunderstorm and rainfall!
Ansett747 | Jonathan jamesinc You are the 5% @RomerJon17 ?Nice to see a pre-facelift 700 Volvo btw!Paint kinda faded on the roof but no rust which is a good sign. Hopefully a minimal restoration in the future.Anyway added first coat on black plastic and bumper. Next day second coat on bumpers.
jamesinc Fresh. I find those bumper trim restore gels have pretty good staying power in the rain, it should still look good on Saturday.
Ansett747 | Jonathan jamesinc Fresh. I find those bumper trim restore gels have pretty good staying power in the rain, it should still look good on Saturday.The last time I restored the bumpers way back in December 2020 and little fade from heavy sunlight. Bowden is a great product and never disappoints me. ?
