Newbie member here from the recently horrible www.volvoforums (of course the site is down again).

I am so impressed with this forum and plan to call it home. KUDOS! I'm working on my personal page and will certainly add a banner link to www.matthewsvolvosite.com. It will be accessable through my business website as a branch off at www.notjustspeaking.com.

Thanks again for all the wonderful tips and I cannot wait to contribute here.

Billy,
It's nice to have you aboard. I read your website and your story is truly amazing and inspiring! You have a great philosophy that speaks volumes. I think that the same philosophy (well, in part) can be translated to fixing and maintaining our Volvo's!

Thank you guys. I really appreciate that. I am glad to be here.

BTW..... I am in need of an odemeter gear and called my mechanic yesterday. He has it in stock. He's the best and 90% of his work is Volvo. However, I was SHOCKED that he wants $80 for this tiny 12 tooth gear - WOW. I told him I would pass along not only this site and forum, but the contact info for www.odometergears.com/volvo.html ($29.00).

Have a super day - I'm off to work.

Hi Guys,
Have you contemplated putting up a vendor Index or would that inhibit any advertizing cash flow you might be already receiving? Just a thought.
