Moinsen! The new sales figures of the Volvo pallet are now online… Amazing things can be seen here…https://www.media.volvocars.com/…/Preview.aspx?mediaid=35963 The sales figures of 2008 have been reached again. The low of 2009 is “passé”. The main sales markets are in order of sales figures: USA Sweden Great Britain China Germany In this respect, the first 3 are still the same. China has now overtaken Germany with a margin of 5000 vehicles. (Thanks to the new possibilities of the Chinese market!) In addition, for Volvo the importance of the models in the following order for 2010: XC60 V50 V70 XC90 C30 S40 S60 (old and new!) XC70 S80 V60 S80 Lang C70 One can see clearly which priorities Volvo should set. The V50 is more popular (and almost 10,000 units!) than the wrong way as the popular stamped V70. The S40 sells much better than the S60 (at least 2010!) and the C30, own The number of units is still increasing. Instead of just under 32,500 units, 36,000 units have now been produced and sold. Currently, however, some bad decisions have been made. Among other things, the popular V50 is due to expire and will be replaced by the TEUREREN V60.

Winter Impressions 2010/2011
Dear Volvo community, it’s getting cold, wet and dark again. A few weeks ago there was the first snow in the Alps – sometimes even in the German middle mountains. So it’s time to open the sometimes annual thread for photos from the wonderful winter time. Of course, you’re all invited again this year to take wintery photos with your moose or just to snap a beautiful landscape and upload here. Unfortunately, there were here in the Ruhrgebie so far not even frost, so I can not make a start with pictures. But who already has photos – always with it. Have fun searching for motifs and looking at the photos.

Body plates source?
I hope this is the “right department” for my question. I’ve already researched and found out that the classic car suppliers don’t supply any sheet metal for newer models. The others only had standard parts etc. I’m looking for an outer skirt for Audi A3 (possibly Berlin!? to the need also in all of Germany) About 10 years ago I had a company in B-Schöneberg, which could supply all body parts. Unfortunately, this doesn’t exist anymore. (not AUDI directly!) In advance thanks from one who can prove the opposite that Audi Schweller can not rust. 🙁

§23 Oldtimer acceptance/10-year rule for parts
Meal, I own a vehicle from 1990, which was built almost unchanged for a total of 30 years. (1976-2006) It is built by the previous owner rims from another/later vehicle of the brand, which I would like to continue driving. The car comes from abroad and on the letter/sale is not as irgedwas in terms of rim size noted or removed ect. Original were 175/70R13 on it, now 185/55R14 also on steel rim. I want to let the combination, rides itself sup i and don’t want to go back to narrower or even hose tires because the original ones were still without hump. My vehicle type was built until 2006, the rims from the successor or its production start was 2005. Now the question counts the year of the vehicle with the 10-year regulation or counts the year until the model was built? Vehicle gets a 21 and 23er acceptance, i.e. the rims fit easily and do not grind anything with any other hole circle or anywhere. or something. Loads are also right and even the roll circumference is loosely in the tolerance. Greetings, Lars

engine just goes off: Ignition coil ?
Hello guys, my Healey 3000 BJ8 Bj.66 spins a little. The problem is I drive such a scarce hour completely without props and then at once the speed goes down and it just goes off. After an hour he jumps back on, but goes out again. After 2h you can drive a piece, but then goes out again. Other tomorrow it goes back about 45 min, then end. Have already long a lumenition in it. Yesterday built in a new high-performance ignition coil from Lucas,because the old became so hot, but the same problem. At the ignition coil only nearly7 volts arrive, is that normal? Or lies the problem elsewhere. Would be grateful for any help or idea. Gruss Dany

prufdaten.de ? Have you ever heard of it?
Hello, I just want to sell my oldtimer and have advertised it. Now I received a request with the request to have a GRA review report made from the page prufdaten.de. I find no information on this page on the net and it also seems a bit strange to me. It also came directly to the request to share the PDF of the result, that I already felt a bit researchy. In addition, this report should cost 14.99€. I can understand of course, that an Inter essent wants to make sure that the vehicle is not stolen or was a total damage, etcpp. That’s all ok. I just don’t know anything about this page and I don’t find any information about it. So before I enter data somewhere, I want to make sure that there is no scam / fraud attempt or phishing behind it. And I don’t know if the inquirer has any connections to help the business model there boost. To request ele reports to 14.99€ seems to me an option … Does anyone know the page? Is that legitimate there? My gut feeling is bad anyway. HG

Trabant 2-stroker with lead replacement?
Hello, my friend is now driving a 89er Trabant. After initial problems with hanging and draught swimmers the car runs quite well. Now I only remembered how I stuck my Trabant on the highway about 3 years ago and had to change the engine. At that time the ADAC man explained to me that the engine lacks lead, because today’s petrol is lead-free. Because my girlfriend now has to drive about 250 km over the highway, I thought if it is advisable i You might be able to get a lead replacement tonight and tip it in. What do you say? Drive 2 clocks with or without lead replacement? Greeting. Dennis

Alternative to California
Hello I was on the road in Northern Europe last year with a converted VW T2 for a few weeks. Now I would like to repeat next year. To travel again with a T2 is no longer possible (too loud, too thirsty and engine damage in Helsinki). Now I am looking for a suitable vehicle to go on a trip. It should already be designed to camp with it. But at the same time it should not be too big to go into an underground garage or on a public parking lot. Now I’ve stepped onto the VW T.. California. Are there any other comparable vehicles that can be compared to the California?

Box pendant, which can also be used as a sleeping place
Hello people, – I hope my question fits at least roughly into this area, otherwise please move – I am looking for a small trailer, which I can use as a load trailer as well as as as a sleeping place. So basically a closed box trailer. But what I find in this direction are usually relatively narrow and therefore high trailers and practically always without windows. However, I would rather do something like this in the direction of Dethleff’s Miniglobe 2.0 (http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/ …wagen-for-two-2743356.html) float forward, i.e. lower (only because of wind resistance) and of course with windows. This is of course nothing for the big holiday, but would be optimal for me to be able to lie down on a longer tour in breaks without extra effort or even for a weekend trip, after all better than a tent, because less installation effort and better weatherproof. Which alternatives are there or which base trailer is suitable for e requirements: closed, not too high, aerodynamic construction, usable as load trailer, max. 750kg load, enough space for mattress for two people, approx. 3000 EUR new price.

Which car had this fog/blink combination?
This was a press photo of the first Bertone-BMW from 1960, 2 years later as 3200CS went into production. It differed in some details from the later series car, among others the front flash/fog headlights (perhaps they are only standing lights). Probably Bertone here, as with the rear lights, simply reached into the shelf, and looked for which from the shape to the car. But where did they come from, bwz. in which car they were installed?? In the later series the used by the Borgward P100 – whether this was a happy choice remains to be seen. Maybe one wanted to build something from a German manufacturer (here: Hella). Bertone used the same round lamps for the rear lights that Zagato had chosen for the Lancia Flaminia Sport (manufacturer: Lucas). Here, too, BMW installed the ones from the big Borgward in the series. The round rear lights of the later “02 series” were very similar.
