The “Billboard” above is made possible by the new Tierra Billboard Manager plugin for WordPress. Just thought I’d show it off here, as it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on here lately. The billboard plugin itself is one of the many projects I’ve been working on lately while my 1800 is undergoing some [...]

“I think I left myself in the trunk”
I honestly have no idea how — or when — I first stumbled across this, but here’s a little number (link is dead. Sorry!) 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 [...]
At last… P1800 screensaver available for Mac
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 [...]

Thanks to a deal with Stamps.com and CafePress, I just ordered my first batch of P1800 postage stamps from the Classic1800.com giftshop, and I have to admit, I’m going to be writing a lot more letters soon! These things are pretty dang cool. I’ll be using them for all my Volvo-related mailings now (and probably [...]
New look for old site
To avoid getting any real work done on my car, I somehow decided it was time to update the look of Classic1800.com. The site had been looking pretty ragged since I threw it together almost two years ago, and now that it seems to have caught some eyes (thanks largely to the Classic1800.com P1800 screensaver), [...]
