A lot got done and very late last night I drove it to the new place under its own power! #2 rides again! :-) Time to give the Volvo some loving and get it into the FreeEMS list before the big road trip early March.

Took it for a little drive today. Expectedly, couldn't make any real power, just broke up and popped and crackled. I should have a look at one of the few logs I grabbed and see why it breaks up. Likely going lean I guess. Computer still thinks it's a 1.8 :-o

Track day for ute, or FreeEMS the Volvo? Vote here:

Considering it's already 5 B votes and no other votes, I just bought a tow coupling for her.
I'll be building something like this, but less shit:

Well, tomorrow is the big day, first time for this truck on a race track of any kind, and it's NZ's most challenging with rise and fall and off-camber corners etc. Good thing I'll just be boosting on straights and cruising around the outside of corners. Time for 4 hours sleep and more car-packing. Buenas noches, tios.
