Rob I still have some 140 door cards for you, maybe the Bruce courier can get them to Parkes if you still want them?
Yes please. Shame you cant get there.

Scott might be the link here, I'll let you know. I would have loved to meet more of the crew!
Its looking like the 245 is going to be finished on time. Most of the engine is assembled with a few small odds and ends to sort out. Ill be pulling the B21 out today and giving the engine bay a good clean. Then I just need to wait for Joes harness and I can wire it all up. Then plonk in the new engine, hook it up and pray that it starts.

Boyd;27877 wroteAccommodation booked staying at the station with the rest of you.
excellent, interested in checking out your 244

Just got to find a trailer to get there

Not going to make it, lack of decent vehicle and 5 uni assignments.

May be able to help QLDers with accommodation if they're doing QLD -Dubbo - Parkes via the New England
I'm going to try my darnedest to make it. I'm sweating on receiving the bushes for the 960 wagon from the VolvoPartsWebstore and need to get them in next week, along with the new windscreen, front brake pads, roadworthy, and Vic registration.
Leaving my run a bit late!
May have to drive the 940 wagon! Its OK but does need bushes and shocks, and the heater core leaks, and the alternator is dodgy!
Have to just push on and hope.
I'm coming
Bringing the XC90
Going to plan to sleep in the back of it :-)

I will not have a tow hitch so I cant rescue anyone
Don't worry you can just flat tow
No-ones gonna need a tow
They are VOLVO's

You obviously havent seen OUR volvos
Volvos are good an awfully forgiving but you do occasionally run into unbodgeable issues with them. Learned that with the 145.
Or my fukin 240 which hasnt run right for about 4 months
I'm still forging on in the hope of getting it all done on the wagon. Windscreen Monday. Brakes this weekend. Hopefully bushes Wednesday. Roadworthy/Reg Friday at the latest!!!!!
I cant even count the number of volvites I have rescued.....
