Re: Non-Volvo car chat megathread

Yep, very narrow, and super mega long. I always thought "Marlboro McLaren" was the coolest name in all of motorsports. Like the type of thing in a Western where one guy walks into a saloon and the music stops and on the balcony someone whispers to their friend "What does he drive?"

Re: ‘97 850 Wagon

Black Bart wins the guesses with a bad radiator cooling fan relay. Jumped per Robert DIY's video instructions and it engaged both high and low speed.

Question now: no 850's currenty at the junkyard. Does a '98 V70 have the same relay?

The more cylinders, the smoother the engine runs.
Exactly.

What a sudden change due to events though - from building V12s to not building cars at all.
Sort of like spring 2020?

Re: I spotted a Volvo! thread

Look closely and you'll see the rear window is the original wagon tailgate. The two silver things above the b pillar are the original tailgate hinges. Probably still have the classic broken wiring.
