You know, I am really not in the mood this week for obstinate French engined Dutch built Volvos, especially at 60mph on the A36

Heroic efforts by @vhschloe.bsky.social today trying to get my Panasonic VZ200 to kick into life ahead of fitment to the Starion. We tried but could not get the cassette mechanism to work nor any sound.. Still, it looks like the car in question needs a new slave cyl now, so bigger fish it would seem

December brought the return of the Volvo as it had been in for some work in much of November. Its return was short lived however as it broke down right as I was about to put it on my mate Will's drive for a winter wash. I tried hotwiring it, but it was dead.
