What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

Was gonna say, looks like the engine shifted sideways, but I'm guessing you've heard that 1000 times before.

You're a magician working on that stuff. Man, they pack soooo much stuff in there.

And it's no wonder he had a bit of a shifting issue.

Do these people just leave their foot on the clutch?! jesus...


Is it easier on the V70 to replace it or on the 240? I'd imagine mine to be super easy lol, none of that modern nonsense

Scandinavian roadtrip is definitely something I want to do in a year or two. First Scotland with my car, then Nordkapp.

Would definitely be cool to go together!! Too bad covid got in the way, would have loved to see you drive a car with the steering wheel on the correct side

240 is a lot easier but not super, 140 is super when the gearbox is in 2 parts.

That's crazy. He must have been stuck somewhere when it failed.

Clutch rider ehh? I doubt the owner was drifting and clutch kicking in a Volvo but you never know, it could’ve been Jocke’s car!
