		<title>&#8220;I think I left myself in the trunk&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I honestly have no idea how &#8212; or when &#8212; I first stumbled across this, but here&#8217;s a little number many Volvophiles should get a kick out of. The tune is called &#8220;Volvo in G,&#8221; and it&#8217;s performed by an act named Grandaddy.
I honestly know nothing else about the music (or the band), except it [...]]]></description>

		<title>At last&#8230; P1800 screensaver available for Mac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;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&#8217;s taken me a while to work [...]]]></description>

		<title>As unseen in Pixar&#8217;s &#8220;Cars&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


When I first heard about the movie Cars, I was excited to learn that one of its creators owned a Volvo 1800. Unfortunately, our favorite car never made an appearance in the film. I made the above image for another site recently, but figured I&#8217;d put it up here just for fun. Enjoy! (Update: I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>A B21-s eye view</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The lighted safety glasses are not only dead sexy, but they also help tremendously when working in tight places.


As might be expected, life&#8217;s progress and related belt-tightening have slowed progress on the revival of the Heater lately, but in the past month or so, I have managed to remove the engine and begin working on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Volvo 1800 on U.S. postage? How Swede it is!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;m going to be writing a lot more letters soon! These things are pretty dang cool. I&#8217;ll be using them for all my Volvo-related mailings now (and probably [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ramp-pit plans I posted last month have been working out well for me &#8212; I&#8217;ve gutted the interior of the 1800 and have finally begun working away at the rust on the floorpans. Turns out other people have been searching for such plans, too: The page made Make Magazine&#8217;s blog of do-it-yourself projects last [...]]]></description>

		<title>New look for old site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Completed &#8220;ramp pit&#8221; does the job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

After searching more than two years for a practical way to lift my 1800E, I finally found inspiration in a 31-year-old issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. The &#8220;ramp pit&#8221; shown above acts as both ramp and teeter-totter, allowing access to both ends of the car. I just finished the project this weekend, and the preliminary [...]]]></description>

		<title>Volvo 1800 screensaver free for download</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;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&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rust removal/interior work coming soon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things are finally starting to move again on the 1800. I&#8217;ve removed the seats, carpets and interior trim and will begin repairing/rustproofing the floorpans as soon as my order of POR 15 (and just about everything else in the company&#8217;s catalog) arrives this week.  Once all the body&#8217;s rustproofing and finishing is done, I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>
