To see my girl and go for a drive

Dog, Panelvan and the coast-
Back in Sydney for a short visit, catching up with family, friends and a little work meant I got to reconnect with my dog and car... managing to do both at the same time. 
My dog loves riding in the front seat and and once she's there its pretty hard not to just let her be and go for a drive..
I love the headland at Clovelly (one of my favourite snorkeling spots)  I hadn't been there in  a while and even though it was a rainy November day I wanted a sea breeze and ocean horizon fix regardless of the weather....

Popular Mechanics - Troubleshoot a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System

Second story for Popular Mechanics Magazine, working with Michelle Ervin again was great and nice to ride back into Manhattan in a new 2010 Camaro.
Loved working with Mike Allen, hopefully we'll all work together again in the coming months.
A section of the article is below just mainly the images. 
Please buy the magazine or go to the website.

Volvo 142

A Volvo 142 S, no less !! 
Back in November I mentioned the Volvo 122 I saw in Carroll Gardens, here's a couple o' pictures of a 142 Sport I spotted in Williamsburg. 
The 142 (the coupe or 2 door version of the 144) was almost the first car I ever owned. I can't remember the specifics of the car I nearly bought, other than it was dark blue and already had an almost new radio/cassette deck and 4 speakers installed...

Volvo 122

In my teens my Dad was working for Volvo Trucks.  He brought home a book something like- History of Volvo (cars). I had an early appreciation of cars having worked the occasional school holiday in the workshop where my Dad was in management and weekends in my Uncle's mechanic workshop for a short period. 
I poured over the specs of the cars, some I would likely never see in my life, reading from the earliest days until I got to this... The Volvo 122, I think it was the first car I really longed to buy or own, well that was until I saw the P1800 a few pages later !! My first car was almost a 142 but I couldn't convince my parents that it was good idea... so the 122 and lots of the early Volvo's are still in my heart. Its good to see them still on the street.
