I honestly have no idea how — or when — I first stumbled across this, but here’s a little number many Volvophiles should get a kick out of. The tune is called “Volvo in G,” and it’s performed by an act named Grandaddy.
I honestly know nothing else about the music (or the band), except it […]

It’s been more than a year since I released the Classic 1800 screensaver, and at long last, the Macintosh (OS X) version is finally available for download, too. Sorry for the delay; my old iBook gave up the ghost shortly after I posted the first (PC) version, and it’s taken me a while to work […]

Here’s a little something I made for my own enjoyment, but I figured there might be a few others who would enjoy it, too: It’s a 3D screensaver featuring our favorite car, the Volvo 1800.
The 3-D model was created by Josh Isaacson of Mountain View, CA, and will soon appear in a game produced […]
