Old Volvos racing in Sweden! Summer 2005.
That was NOT the Black Pearl!
See the Black Pearl below but first here is an update from Kjell with family photos, hot-rod XC pics and some great pictures of old cars in Sweden.
Hi my friend. It's Kjell from Sweden. I will send some photos of my Cross Country.
I have put on S - bars and new gaslight in the front. All that and the chiptrim does the car into a beauty in town.
I'm now a member of Volvo Turbo Performance Club. It's race driving and a lot of fun.
As you can see in one of the photos I'm on Television.
The winter here has gone ?????? Nobody knows why. It's not good. The Swedish Rally is here in Värmland
and we have no snow or ice. Temp celcius +6 daytime so it's realy bad. The Rally drivers and their teams are here and they are not glad. We must get snow and be cool again.
