do you see a blue RS one getting around there? ive seen it as far south as austinmer, or in engadine near the 50 zone.

[Cephas]

Haven't seen a blue RS.

There is another Axis. Silver.

One of the just jap guys has a silver arx with just jap decals.

Saw a red RS today and I've seen a white RS as well.

Getting to be quite the collection.

Picked up a new tyre from Tyrepower Frankston.

When I dropped off the punctured one the tyre guy said "is that for the Volvo?". "Nah, It's a Nissan" I said laughing.

I think he apologised 5 times in the space of 30 seconds!

Anyway, when I went to pick it up, the older guy there comes out, looks over my shoulder and says

"Oh, is this the one for the Stagea?"

"Yep" (somewhat astonished that he knew what my car was)

"Yeah, there are quite a few getting around here, well not your one, the older model... the one that looks like a Camry from the back"

"Yeah that's the one" (laughing)

"What are you laughing at? Yours looks like a Volvo from the back!"

"Yep" (laughing harder)

The laughing stopped when I got the invoice for the tyre though

Leaving to wash my mouth out.

Had a door to door salesman came by our Warehouse this week selling a car / glass cleaning product. Went through the whole sales speal in our office and then offered to show how it works on the Volvo parked outside... grrrrrrr

Asked him what Volvo? ... the Silver Volvo parked outside .... no silver Volvo parked our side... yes definatley a Volvo... He lost the sale at this point.. lol

[iamhe77]

Nothing like an argumentative hawker, eh?

Maybe it was the wheels that made him think that?

[SatchiThaStagea]

"Although the exterior was linear in a volvo-like box style......"!!!

[AgeYo!]

Was driving home from a mates other week an ha some sketchy looking fellow hang out his window to ask me if I was driving a r35 gtr. I looked at him laughed and said nah mate this is a stationwagon haha left him so puzzled

[Sunkist]

i had a guy in a XF falcon wagon. looked pretty nice too.

he was taking pictures of my car, and at the next set of light he goes. i wanna upgrade my wagon, and been looking at a few volvo's whered you get yours from?

I said, 'oh a place called SSV in huntingdale, they do alot of Japanese imports' he said, 'but volvo's arent Japanese' I said 'yeh i know, this is a nissan'

both had a laugh n he said "oh this the new stagea" ...

conversation continued after with me and my dad..

I said to him "see people like my car more than your so much that they even take pictures"

My dad turned around and said "yeh? police used to like taking photo's of your car, and then charge you the bill for it too"

ass hole lol

[GoldZilla]

Ha, pwned by your old man, Aaron!

[GoldZilla]

Oh yeah, went back to the carwash on Friday, the car was well overdue for a wash. Can't remember if it was the same guy I saw working there last time, but as he walked inside to call me, he just looked and smiled (he'd been announcing each car by colour and model as each was ready to be collected by it's owner).

Anyway, as I went to get in, he announces to all the other workers there: "hey boys, see this car? It's got all the good bits from a Skyline GT-R in it" or something along those lines.

Not quite a Volvo story, but I had a chuckle to myself as I left there...

[Sunkist]

Ha, pwned by your old man, Aaron!

yeh sometimes his 'dad jokes' are pretty funny. ill giv him that for an old sri lankan man

[Run-It-Hard]

I took my 1 week old Stagea drifting on Friday night at EC.

Rock up to the gates, 1st security guard asks if I was spectating, I said "nah, I'm drifting". Security guard 1 pauses and then says ok and lets me through.

drive down to the pitlane and security guard 2 asks if I was spectating, I gave him the same reply, Security guard 2 was stunned and asked "YOUR DRIFTING THAT THING?!" my reply was, "yep, just watch me" And I did just that, drifted a stock, automatic Stagea ... it was good fun!
