We live in different countries on different continents, and speak different languages, yet we have much in common besides Volvos.

What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

I suspect many MVS participants also do projects in the non automotive trades. Perhaps carpentry, electrical, plumbing, concrete, woodwork, welding, and many others. It might be interesting to report on your current projects. We may be able to answer some questions and provide encouragement. Any int...

Re: We reached Peak Boring in 2011
