    Thanks, Randy. That's a very interesting link. Makes some of us wish we were closer. A lot of anti-Chinese sentiment with that post, perhaps not realizing that Geely saved Volvo from the brink of death under Ford and didn't move the engineering and factory from Europe, growing sales from 400,000/yr cars to over 700,000/yr, now head long into the EV world ahead of many others. As of Jan/24, Geely currently holds a mere 6.8% of Volvo Cars and about 13% of the voting rights.

    In addition to Irv Gordon's world reknowned P1800, I really liked the link to the Iron Maven all girl build of the 544 restore at https://girlganggarage.com/af_builds/iron-maven/
