We had thought up a couple of (in our opinions) clever catch phrases for hot Volvos a while ago and thought they might make for an entertaining T-Shirt.  No one really caters to Volvo tuners.  I did a search and couldn't find anything that was not either "F-ing Volvo drivers!" or "I love my beige Volvo".

So the MR2 is still running solidly.  I'm going to replace a clamp on the turbo-to-IC plumbing as a precaution tomorrow, and drill some holes in the floor to mount the anti-submarine belts. 

I spent the morning today reclaiming the garage and stowing all of the re-usable stuff that I have taken off the MR2.  I ran some errands and played around with the camera earlier this evening as it was getting dark.  I needed a more stable platform for a 2" exposure...

Since I am a slack of a website admin, I am posting this about a week after actually re-firing the car for the first time in nearly seven months.  So-far so-good.  I have been driving the MR2 to work and around and monitoring it fairly closely.  I had to go back and take care of a couple of small drips where the oil pan hadn't quite sealed all the way around, but otherwise we are looking good.

The real test will be on the 18th/19th when I will use it at an autocross school.  Fingers firmly crossed.
