Yeah, the internet is perfectly safe. Abraham Lincoln said so in his Twitter post.


Obviously you don't give on topic answers to those security questions. You give absurd answers.

Anyways, I still miss my EL. I always wish I could have put a B18C in it.

I've owned three used Volvo's - two sedans from the 1980s and 1990s - both of which lasted to at least 140,000 miles. One 2008 two-door Volvo made-it to 95,000 miles.

My mechanic mentioned that Volvo's soemtimes proved to be very intersting vehicles to service.

Most of all the quality, and safety of Volvo's were of most interest.


ADDENDUM: Back in the 1980s and 1990s, new and pre-owned Volvos cost more than many vehicle makes - becasue Volvo's saved more money in the long-run.

No sure where this quote was spoken, "it costs money because IT SAVES MONEY!"

Newer. Not quite as compact. This is what it looked like.


The AU Falcons had quite a following.
It was sad to watch the demise of Aussie built Commies and Falcons.
I'm also puzzled as to SA's change of rego plates. The old ones like your car had were Australia's best looking plates with the magpie in the middle. New SA plates look boring and sterile.
