I originally started working on my own cars in order to be able to fix my fleet of Volvos. I've owned an whole slew of 200-series and 700-series cars. I even recently moved into the front-wheel-drive range with an 850 and an S70. Working on my own cars eventually transformed into a passion for the more unusual side of hotrodding.

To most people, Volvo means safety, but not necessarily performance. The truth is, though, that you can make anything fast.
Starting from that theory, my hobby is Volvo performance modifications. If you're also interested in modifying your Volvo, and doing it cheaply, I recommend turbobricks.org.
