Re: Let's play Name That Car

Re: Manov goes back to school Homework N° 1

Also - I'm sure they were around before that, but in WWII, various planes added superchargers to make enormous power at high altitude where there's not enough air. Spitfire, P-51, P-38...I'm sure many others. Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 P-51D.jpg merlin-supercharger.jpg image172.jpg P-38 with Allison V-...

Re: Non-Volvo car chat megathread

Met some old car friends (old car, not old, car) for coffee. So fun to see them. They brought a '64 1800 with the RED Jenson interior (but oddly not a Jensen-built body), a '59 356, a '60 356, and a '65 SWB 911 / 912 conversion.

Re: All 6-cylinder Volvos 1960s-1980s

In HS, I almost talked my parents into a V6 wagon instead of the 245, since they were used to V8s. They sat in it, drove it, studied the brochure....I was pretty sure they were going to do it. They bought an American V8 wagon. But that V6 was the Peugeot Renault Volvo joint project, right, and had s...
