It is snowing in Swinghill, the lift is running, and I opened the season. Cool.

Volvo is now ready to be picked up! The clutch is properly fixed, finally. They had to replace the parts rather than repair them.
And if you thought I was the only crazy person at the office … pic from after lunch parking.
What a wonderful blue-white moment!
First day at the office in 18 months. Also booked movie tickets for next month. Enough dangerous living for the rest of the year?
So good to see my friends and colleagues, although only a couple people at the office. And a beautiful day!
.... now I've managed to do 66% of the summer cottage trips with the Volvo. It will just be a small matter of turning those numbers around and I'll have a "two nines" reliability already!
For 1000€, the handbrake now works (cable was fine, but the hull around had disappeared) and clutch replaced. Previous fixes were, e.g., welding broken clutch parts. Feeling lucky so I took the car to the cottage, 200 km away. It could be a long tow.
