I wonder how Mrs Robert is holding up in the car full of Volvo parts. Hope the trip is going as planned and find some time to relax too

Hi there Robert,

Wow you really get around. I'll be in PA too for a short while today but quite a bit far away from Pittsburgh.

Take care,
Al
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.

Did you make it to Carlisle Saturday? I was looking around but folks didn't see you and I left around 2. I wanted to thank you in person and just chat. One of the gentlemen at the VCOA tent were looking to chat up with you for a future article in Rolling magazine. I'd love to see you written up for all you do for the Volvo community. I hope the trip is going well, God Bless.

That's fine but you should show video of your dog too, showing that it is alive...

We have questioned that cat about the dog's disappearance, but the cat's not telling

Robert your vids helped me out a lot with my 96 Volvo 850 if your stopping through Southern Connecticut region, (someone above mentioned they are close to the same area) maybe we could all coordinate to meet up and have dinner/lunch! As I am sure you can provide insight on my current issues and I'd like to hear about your travels! -tony
