      @@leehodgson6132 Jay Leno's Garage should be a great automobile show. Instead--because the host appears to have ADD: he can't stop talking, can't stay on track, can't help repeating himself, can't let a guest finish a sentence--it's an uneven automobile show with moments of greatness counterbalanced by tedious patches of Leno brain-mush.

    • @MrGaryGG48
      @MrGaryGG48 Рік тому +1

      This tendency for the "modern" cars to go to lower and lower aspect ratios is just stupid on real world street cars. The taller the rims are that usually indicates lower and lower aspect ratios. I don't know when "Old School" kicks in but I have a 2001 BMW 330xi that came with 45 series tires on 17" rims. On decent pavement, they handle well. Unfortunately, the real world these days doesn't run on decent pavement! In the last 7-8 years with this car (I've had it for 11 years) I've replaced two rims and two tires due to unavoidable pot holes. The roads are pitifully maintained and we keep hearing that this "new bond issue" is to fix the roads. Politely, that is a load of "creative fertilizer!!"
      When I see a hot new car on the street with 25 or 35 series tires, I just wonder where this guy thinks he can get out of town and actually drive that thing? Track day... that's the best answer, track day!! 🤔😒

    To me, it's obvious it's not really a P1800, but a P1800 corrected. A lot of subtle changes that corrected proportions and fixed lines. Absolutely brilliant job. The engine noise, obvious suspension compliance that has to make it much more comfortable to drive, free revving, accurate shifting- I want one so bad I can taste it, but know I could never afford it. The body alone- hand laid carbon fiber- makes it unattainable for middle incomes. Too bad. Beautiful piece of work.

    Fell in love with this car as an eleven year old in 1964. Relatives from Connecticut would come up and stay with my grandparents for the summer. They had the wagon version. When you think back to 64 in a small New Hampshire town, I had never seen ANYTHING like that. I think we had a 59 Rambler American Cross Country wagon. To see that Volvo, it was just so gorgeous. Still is. Thanks for taking me back to that time!

It was located in SoCal, where I lived then, but originally purchased from Volvo Village in the Boston area, where I'm from and live now. I also used to know the family who owned this dealership. Anyway, as I recall, the buyer was a Swede who had it shipped back to Sweden. So that was cool to see.
