Labor lost in Australia...more hybrid Volvos for Aussie...

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

Is this a question for me XHeart?? .

Coincidentally I joined the Victorian Volvo Club here in Melbourne Australia and went to one of their monthly meetings last Monday where they asked me to speak about ETM repair.

When I was leaving the clubhouse one of the club guys jumps into a pristine '93 240GL wagon with badges named E drive.

The car reversed without a sound and accelerated out of the carpark without a sound. My jaw dropped as one my new aquaintances told me it was a full electric conversion with 50/50 weight distribution. Apparently the driver, a chap named Greg is a GM Holden engineer with a passion for the Swedes.

With the owner's permission photos and a write-up will follow.

Many of us at the climate exchange applaud the Aussie leading the climate policy.
I am noticing CNG driven on Midwest roads.
Await your post on E drive.
