Only 26% of 27 voters have voted me off of the P80 Island LOL! But wait I still have a 98 XC, so if I got voted off, where will I find another P80 family???

As a result of not having running p80, I needed more attention and advice in the 960 forums.

Don't worry about those 26%. You know something they are not smart enough to find out!
I drove my S80 to South Carolina and back today for my daughter's wedding. Every used car lot I passed I looked to see if I could spot a 960. I did see a modern RR for sale and tons of Benz, but no 960s...
I even got my first speeding ticket in years. I was clocked at 80 in a small town. I could not believe how nice of a experience it ended up being. He could have thrown the book at me, but only gave me the minimum fine possible and even apologized for doing that! So it will cost me $78. No I didn't cry or use womanly wiles Abscate
You will have to put your YouTube video walk around of that new car! I'm exited to see it! June

I've seen a lot less 900 series up here in canada. What is the parts situation like on them? I assume most parts are universal aside from manifolds, gaskets etc. Asking as i might look for a RWD project for some lemons races in the future.

Yes I've seen both of those. I see that my car is prewired for the phone. Would be cool to hook up a 4g phone to make calls.
