Motor shake during starting 200

Noticed today that my motor shakes in about a 2" arc when I start the car (had the hood up.) Is this normal for an '88 240 GL? I would think that much movement puts a lot of stress on things. Also, I discovered that the switch on the dash, between the light switch and the dimmer, is not a dummy. I thought it was for the option to add front fog lights. So I'm on the vlvworld site looking at tailgate wiring and see that they describe it as a REAR fog light switch. Wow, cool, and it works! And finally, check out the latest issue of Bicycling magazine, inside back cover. A guy restored a older Volvo in the team colors and decals of the Moltini bicycling team car from the days of Eddie "The Cannibal" Merckx. Now that's two passions I can i.d. with!Peace Out!
