One of my hobbies, when I'm not working on my bricks, is computer racing simulations. Until recently there have no Volvos to race but that has changed with two releases, Rally Trophy and the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) mod for EA Sports' F1 Challenge '99-'02.

Rally Trophy has been out a year or so. You can rally an Amazon against other vintage rally cars such as Alfas, Minis, Renaut Alpines and Ford Escorts.

My favorite sim these days is the ETCC mod for F1 Challenge. You can take on BMW, Alfa and Mercedes on the great tracks of the world with Rydell's S60. The mod is a free download that installs seamlessly over an existing installation of F1 Challenge, which has been selling for about 20 bucks in the post holiday sales.

I need to get a life ;-)

This is the in-game car selection screen
