Beautiful film! Well done!! You really did a wonderful job at capturing friendship, community and the love for the Swedish meatball on film. Both David's are jems in the Volvo community!
Dear David Bello 👍👌👏👏👏 Nice, nice, nice! That's a really great video. What impressive landscapes and pictures, WOW! Very well done, Sir, very well indeed! Congrats! I had tons of compassion with you seeing you trying to sort out your long legs in this relatively small driving compartment. Hope your back wasn't hurting too much after this journey. I would have loved to see Mr. Hunt in Davis. But unfortunately he was even unfit to fly. Get well soon, Sir. By the way: Hope the cabriolet roof can be fixed. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing this adventure. Best regards luck and health to all involved people and dogs. ;-)
Great to see the P1900! Only seen one in Gothenburg last summer in the Volvo museum. And the meeting was great to see as well. Our weddingcar was a P1800. Owning a p1800 ES is still a dream. Until then I will enjoy my 945 turbo. Subscribed and hope to see more great videos. Tnx and greetings from the Netherlands.
Awesome video! Those photos are gorgeous. It was nice to see RobertDIY on here. BTW that dust is killer, one of the reasons I still mask up - it's allergy season.
Thank you so much! Its really amazing to watch this footage with amazing music selection. Reminds me of my solitary trips in Sweden in neglected 854. And more: ithink this is the same kind of experience as described in "zen and motorcycle maintenance art". That's a life i dream of
What a great way to spend a nice time with other crazy Volvo owners. To be trusted with one of the rarest Voolvos in existence is a great honor. Now let's get that top off and proper repair done to it. The 28mpg is very good considering the rpm you had to run to keep up with the Car. A traffic. Well done David.
Hallo from Sweden!! So nice to see all these beautiful cars and esp. p1900 ! I myself was raised in a Volvo PV 444 KS 1956, maroon red. Very nice film and producer! Looking forward to see more from US.
Awesome job, D! We just watched it and enjoyed it so much! This is Daniel and Karina, with Tortoni! We want more! You really captured not only the car enthusiast part but also how that reaches and unites people along the way. See you at our coffee place!
OMG. Have to plan a visit. We use to go to Petaluma so it´s nearby. The tail lights on P1900 come from Chevrolet 1949-1950. I have one and it comes from Petaluma. Great film, I enjoyed it much.
So much gravy imma have a heart attack. Im starting my volvo journey Friday with a 744. Hopefully my bike sells so I can also buy a 1800es. Love the green volvos btw, hoping to paint my 740 a dark pine green 💚 -love from Missouri
In case ya didn’t know, UC Davis has a great veterinary school; many vets I’ve met were graduates from there. But hey, I know the B18 and maybe B20 well having built the 122 and 145 I owned decades ago. Sold that 145 to a hippie babe (a Natalie Wood lookalike thinking back about that sale) who a few years later abandoned it on a street in Ocean Beach. She apparently never registered it in her name as I was contacted by the impound lot asking if I wanted the car back. Declined that opportunity as I had no space for it back then. Hate to think what happened to that old wagon in the hands of a junkyard. But have been thinking I’d like to find a 122, 544, or 140 of some type or condition even though I’m gradually aging out of restoring any more old cars. But the simplicity of these are an attractive incentive. Recently found a cache of old Volvo parts in the garage I had forgotten about from sometime ago. Great lil episode. Great Volvo happening. Thank you.
Beautiful car. Why is it so loud in the cabin? I know it's a convertible but still. Is it maybe the design of the soft top? The rear window looks strange- inset which will cause turbulence and buffeting. Same for the way it sags between the frame.
I didn't see any 780's, except for those badges. Must be getting rare. Same for the 262C's. Nice roadmovie and show report. I've been posting on the turbobricks forum since 2003 i think. Names sound familiar eventhough i'm over in Europe. Maybe some day i will visit California. Looks nice. Has a bit of a southern European feel/vibe to it.
That is something you really don’t think of is the shoes, big old sneakers hadn’t even been invented yet. Just wanted to say how awesome this video was, frankly I think that you should be getting a kickback from the California tourism department.
Great video of a great meet. Every time I watch a David Bello vid the urge to do my own increases. One day I may surprise myself by uploading a vid of my own. Nicely done David.
David, I’ve enjoyed your videos for the last few years. They encouraged me to persevere on my restoration. I /restored a 91 240 wagon in Tucson which I gave to my Daughter in Austin, Tx after her car was totaled a couple of years ago. She’s been using it as a daily driver and will now be placing it on Bring A Trailer. I’d like to ask if you could reach out to me so I could send you the link to BAT when it comes up with the thought that you’d pass on the link to your community. She’s been using it as a daily driver. It’s still a great looking and operating car! Thanks, Pete..
Hi David ! I just wanted to inform you that in august 19 - 20 the big volvomeet here in gothenburg , sweden , called VROM !
Beautiful film! Well done!! You really did a wonderful job at capturing friendship, community and the love for the Swedish meatball on film. Both David's are jems in the Volvo community!
Nice to see you back again David👍
I live near Lake Berryessa and I take my E34 wagon on those roads often. It's such a fun stretch and I'm glad you got to experience the area
My first time up 101 through San Jose was on my E34 wagon. Fantastic machines!
He's back! good for us😉
Dear David Bello

David, you bring a nice, creative approach to telling the story of our beloved Volvos. Thanks!
Your musings are poetic, and you have a terrific voice. "Enough for sentiment," perhaps - but never too much with your fine delivery.
I did wonder what happened to the lack of uploads, but now I'm relieved. I hope the work on the 240 wagons is going well.
Great to see the P1900! Only seen one in Gothenburg last summer in the Volvo museum. And the meeting was great to see as well. Our weddingcar was a P1800. Owning a p1800 ES is still a dream.

Great video. I love older people...the trust he has for you. Great car. BTW, your voice is epic and mellifluous.
That was an hour well spent. What an enjoyable documentary of your trip. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride
Awesome video! Those photos are gorgeous. It was nice to see RobertDIY on here. BTW that dust is killer, one of the reasons I still mask up - it's allergy season.
The trust this man delivers to you is quite something. Your love for volvos melts even old mens hearts :p
I know I’m making it up in my head but Volvos all have that sound the same, the doors, the starters, the engines.
Gosh I love Volvo’s.
I have never met other Volvo owners who love their cars like these people. Glad I could see it.

Thanks for beautiful video David! You have told the story so well showing this amazing community.

Very enjoyable, respect from an English volvo 940 driver
I have my beautiful 1973 O1800es running wonderful😎 Weber carb 38/38 dges with 32 degrees advance. No ping and throttle now responds very well.

Hey David,great film, the content and story r awesome, keep up the great works!😉
Beautiful film David, thank's.
What a beautiful story and wonderful journey. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We greatly appreciate it.
Great video David. Maybe your best yet. I love all of those vintage Volvos. Beautiful country also.
Hey David…. When are You coming to Sweden… You now You have too😎
Really enjoyed watching this film.. It captured everything.
Nicely done David!! Loved the story! 😀
Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
I invite you to Poland in Europe to see P121 from 1969, V480 Turbo from 1988, V945 D24TiC from 1994 and V40 from 2013.
This is so artsy. Well done.
OMG. Have to plan a visit. We use to go to Petaluma so it´s nearby. The tail lights on P1900 come from Chevrolet 1949-1950. I have one and it comes from Petaluma. Great film, I enjoyed it much.
That new v60 looked so cool, thanks for this video
Robert 😃 Awesome video and story
So much gravy imma have a heart attack. Im starting my volvo journey Friday with a 744. Hopefully my bike sells so I can also buy a 1800es. Love the green volvos btw, hoping to paint my 740 a dark pine green 💚
-love from Missouri
Good luck! Take care of those arteries 😎
@@DavidBello 17 and already wanting to spend all my cash on swedish excellence. Here's to hoping I can buy the 1800 soon after the 744 repairs
It's so good to know that, with all the media nonsense and negativity, Americans are still out there. Good job!
I am surprised that Mr. HUNT didn*t loan you the hat for the show, great addition since I believe Mr. Hunt got it with the car.
😂
Thanks David
Loved how you reffered to your XC90 as your financial issues. I have one as well and can relate.
Eight transmission repair attempts. EIGHT!
@@DavidBello holy fuck dude
Thank you for this! I see my little C30! :)
Yup, it's the old Volvos but more importantly.... the people who love them. God bless "ye old Volvo boneyard" in Central Ma.
Was there no 740's or 780's?
Well done, when is the next meet? Thanks ...

Nice film, is Mr. Hunt*s Volvo 164 back on the roads?.
I love that thing.
Beautiful car and beautiful countryside! Show. Only rear wheel drive cars should be allowed😎
Awesome Car!!!!! Is it for sale???? I want to buy it!!!!
Great film. I'm the owner of the P1900 with manufacturing no.5. A yellow beauty. Who is the singer in the end of your film?
Wow, how great to hear from another! The singer is someone on TH-cam doing a cover of the song. I don’t have the name
Ok.Thanks
Nissan Figaro похож на Volvo sport.!👍
41:22 which one is "nice", the blue jeans or the yoga pants? :P
Thank god for the R's self leveling suspension. Lol
Did the engine sound so bad?
Where are the 1800’s? RB
Sounds like a lil V8 when it just starts
Lose a wheel like that? Hell yeh it stays with you
Nize .. just nize .
👏👍😁🇸🇪
messing through one's belongings, rude
