Morning Dave,

How nice it is to get back into the Volvo loop once again. This 940 has been so reliable I have not had to get much for it over the last couple of years. I have adopted it as my permanent winter car now since I sold the 240.

I have bought and sold this car about three times before coming to this conclusion. I also drove it to Puerto Vallarta six years ago. Been a great car and I have decided to start fixing up some of the more deteriorated bits. My last buyer had a dog and it might have knocked the speaker cover off sometime during the year or so he had it. Lots of coffee stains on the deteriorating carpet as well. It is now home for good.

I drove to Chapman's outlet in Nanaimo yesterday but it looked like it has been abandoned. New chain link fencing and the property divided. Do you know if it is still functioning? It was a Saturday however. I could not get through to Mill Bay on the phone either.

I will try to phone Mill Bay tomorrow on a Monday and see what I can find. I ordered a brake pad from ipd. The price was reasonable but the shipping brought in a final price of twenty to thirty dollars as I remember.Sorry I didn't wait for your and Spook's replies.
