The “I might as well do that!… when I am there” article, Part One
As gearhead, we like things to work properly. It may be the coffee maker, lawn mower or a car.

A 1964 Volvo 1800S with a family story
We all love vintage Volvos for what they are but if a beloved Volvo also come with a great story, it elevates the car in many ways.
From Sweden: Magnus Rosenstråle’s, his dad Curt and his son Max are all involved in the story of this ST1, a 1964 Volvo 1800S with chassis number 10,447 and it has a story to tell.
2021, will it be exciting??
We certainly hope so.
The Covid pandemic is still raging but vaccines are being distributed.
The good news: Some of us are old enough to qualify for early vaccination. The bad news: Some of us ARE old but we still want to drive and show off our cars.
There will not be a ton of activity until covid rules are lifted but in the mean time, we are plotting some social distance drives etc.
I am working on a story of “! might as well do that to since I am there…ism” regarding a vibration in my 1967 Volvo 122S wagon.
Also, a cool story about this car is coming but it is not what you think…
Mo later…now back to the shop, gotta clean the inside of my bellhousing!
Your Humble PSVSA Editor,
