Hey folks,

Brand new here, found this site while surfing around trying to find some info for a Calgary poster on brickboard.com (been posting there for about 7 years) Lived in Calgary for three years but now in Edmonton for the last 2... no such clubs up here so thought I'd join up... heck it's only 275k ! My current ride is a 1982 242GLT, metallic blue with black leather, the original 3 speed auto was changed out some time ago for a 4 speed o/d, & I've spent lots of DIY time over the last year replacing everything from brakes to electrical, cooling, bushings, ball joints and just about every other wear item on the car! Right now it's basically mint mechanically, the body is about 95% (the small amount of rust on the rear 1/4's that will be corrected when she goes back into storage in october!)



Previous Volvos:

1976 265GLE
1982 245 GLT
1987 764 GLE TD
1977 244 GL
1984 244 Ti

Welcome, your 242 looks very clean.
Do you ever get down to Calgary?
It would be great to have you join us at one of our gatherings

^Thanks for the welcome!

I do make it to Calgary fairly regularly, I'll definitely try to make it down for a meet!

PS sorry for the sidescroll... can't seem to be able to fix it!

Great job on picking a volvolike username, so that I authorized you

Too many spammers, nice to see a real person join the forum

Nice car! Looks clean.

Not all of us are in Calgary. That is one very nice 242 - always wanted one in either dark grey or blue.

^Reading through the member list it seems like there's members from all over the province... and beyond even! Great to see, maybe some of the Northern Albertans on the board can get together and convoy down to Calgary for a meet!

I'm going to post some petter pix of the car in the photo section

I like it, very clean and nice. Good choice to not drive it in the winter.

pssht lucky! it took me giving raz hell on IRC about how I thought the site was abanonded before he added me!

the forum isn't abandoned....just the front page

oh yeah but he didn't let me become a member until he was linking his vid on irc...and i looked at the link and went hey, calgaryvolvoclub.com? thought that was dead!
