Spent the later part of the morning wandering around the 2010 IPD garage Sale. Great weather and Great cars. Hang on to your 140's these are becoming a rare breed amongst the Volvo crowd. In the swap meet area I saw a far cry for 140 parts than last year. And saw only a few 140's that were worth mentioning. Even in the IPD car show I saw none that were in there car show contestant thing. I had a good time. picked up some parts from the swap meet ( B20 Valve cover with cap, some stock 740 speakers to replace the blown pioneers in my doors, and some rear mudflaps that I have needed for some time. From IPD (Idiots Pay Double) I picked up some free stickers and a sew on patch, also paid some cash for a silver key chain with the Volvo emblem to hang from my mirror and a funky little bag of nuts and bolts to help my valve cover from leaking. In true honesty after my wander only lest than 10% of the cars really had me slobbering. as most were pushing the later 240 and up blingy thing. For vintage Volvo metal I got to say its getting a bit rare. I walked away and put the keys into my pretty much unmolested 142e, with a sense of pride, knowing I own a part of Volvo that the majority will never experience.
