And Australian. The 10 valve cars didn't seem to score it as standard either. I found the whole setup at a pick and pull and have fitted the stalk, pump and black relay behind the fuse panel; that's as far as I got. :D

Many many years ago, the Volvo 240 came with no cruise b/c Volvo, being a "safety conscious" company, didn't want cruise control in their cars: if drivers fall asleep when cruise is on ---> accident.

Fast forward a few years alter, Volvo came with cruise control in all cars.
The early Canadian models didn't have it.

I am one of the few drivers that don't use cruise control at all, even in my brand-new car.
I don't like it and when I am tired, I simply stop at some local gas stations and take a nap.
