Meet my volvo. 1963 model. 24 volts. 1.8l engine 4wd Ex military. The roof comes totally off. Its called a feltvogn. Its mad to drive.
Little drive out today. Some asshole parked in the disabled bay, so I parked right there. Exactly. Never lose this in a carpark....
That ain't gonna get stuck in the snow It has a little tilt to the right? Or is that just the ground it's on?
Bit of both. I park it at home on wonkey ground, so it settles like that til I grease up all the joints again.
Ah, the good old days of being able to grease joints......dip your hand in the bucket and slap it all over
Its a right laugh to drive over 60kmh when it needs greasing. You can turn the wheel 90 degrees without the car turning.
Also you see the little pinkish lights there at the back? They are "war lights" there is a switch to turn them on. War lights. No idea why they call them that, its for convoy driving offroad at night. The brake lights are orange, the blinkers have 2 feeds into them. Strange setup.
Went for a drive today. LSD rear wheel drive is very fun. I think the autoadvance is a bit stuck. Its got a huge dead spot at lower rpm. The carb is recently overhauled. Brakes are still a bit iffy...
Still love this car. So much fun. Need to grease it up again. I feel like I'm constantly greasing the steering...
I bought it off the Norwegian version of gumtree. I had wanted one for ages, this came up locally for sale. There are a few over in the UK, but they are the later models called the c303 or c202 also known as TGB. I would love a TGB, but they are upwards of 6k here in Norway as they are all Swedish imports.
