Being the proud owner of a 64 544 that it took me over 4 years to restore, when I read about the folks from Holland driving their Volvo's from coast to coast and found their itinerary, I was pretty excited to see that they were going to be spending overnight in Joplin, Mo. which is only 45 miles from where I live. I thought it would be great to drive my Volvo up and visit with them. Sadly, my fuel pump failed about 1/2 way there, so I had to bring her back to the shop.
I did however get in my NEW (and I do mean New)1984 GMC pickup and went up to see them. Believe it or not, There were 100 Volvo's in the group, and George Downs was there from Bartlesville to visit with them also. These were a great group of folks, and they were driving 444's, 544's, 445's, 122's, 140's, P1800's and P1800 ES also. These cars mostly looked like daily drivers, but for that many cars, they had not had a lot of problems that I heard about.
This was a great experience and now I'm waiting for the big get to gather in Kansas city Next month. It would be my pleasure to meet some of you Brickboarders.
