Thanks Geoff, good luck with the travels,my kids have all grown up now thankfully. I would have had the same dilemma if this had all happened 10 years ago, what you are doing is very brave and I wish you all the best of luck, can’t wait to see your updates, stay safe and enjoy! 😅
FUF is a Brighton registration. When we had Trolley-Buses, a group of them were FUF 1 up to oh, about FUF 30. That was a while back, mind, when Brighton was quite a nice place.
Back in the day we had a Volvo 740GL, bought brand new.......................was lovely to drive & my dog loved it! Well - he loved all the buttons on the dash, as he ate them all!!
I wish you all the best at collecting all the 850 diesels Geoff! Then when I put in a search engine 850 for sale, I will know and get excited that they are all petrol cars, and some the turbos yummy 😂😂
Off topic Geoff, really want to urgently bring this to your attention for you to research for us all... I watched a worrying video yesterday where someone said legislation is being considered to make it ILLEGAL to do a car repair if it is a certain cost to the value of your car!!!! So if your clutch replacement costs £2k, and your car is only worth £4k. The law will state that you're NOT ALLOWED TO REPAIR IT 😮 It looks like this legislation is being attempted to stop people keeping decent cars on the road and forcing EV shit boxes on us. Please can you look into this and give us some answers? I'm extremely concerened, personally
Just a thought regarding your blower motor. Had the same problem and was thinking damn, dashboard out, blower motor out etc. Turns out it was a dry connection on the blower speed control knob. So before ripping everything apart it's worth disconnecting all of the multiplugs, squirt of contact cleaner, reconnect and try it, just in case? Cheers, keep on trucking.
And, at the opposite end of the scale, I have a rare V70, because it's the one that no one ever wanted to own up to - it's the midnight blue 2.0 litre 10V Torslanda! As owned and run by people who could barely afford to own a Volvo. I'll tell you what though, you'll struggle to find one on the road today - a bit like my Ford Sierra 1.8 LX. No body wants to be seen in the LX, but by God there's plenty who want to turn it into a Cosworth lookalike! And, it's the diamond white one, with black trim, but keep telling them it's not for sale.
Now listen Geoff - are you going to tell us where you're going before you go or after you've arrived? 😂😂😂. That's a big barn - I wonder if you can fill it? 🤔
I drive a top-notch 1999 V70. The idea thousands are willing to make mediocre cars good is fanciful. Real world, as Geoff’s 4x4/diesels, we make rare/good examples better. Anything less (FUF only looks good yet it’s a dog) heads to the crusher. Our Miss World contestants spout all must be saved… until we ask THEM to save them. " I hope we can end hunger and bring peace on earth to all the children that inhabit this beautiful place. Thank you so much." Keep the good stuff running. We need parts from the dross. Geoff - be aware Nivomats for the XC are near unobtainium.
Why on earth do people lower cars that don't need lowering. You see this done with Vectra B's which sit low enough anyway. There is no point, it puts your insurance up and makes the car less sellable.
More often than not, lowering a car does ruin it, I don't know why people do it for a start,.... like they know better than the manufacturer, have spent more money and time on R&D.😂
Safe travels Geoff and family!!!
I remember the ‘I’ve bought an 850 for £250’ video - be nice to see it back on the road this year!
They look so cool lined up next to each other like that!
Thanks for the update Geoff and enjoy the holiday with the family.

A "UF" (as in FUF) reg is a Brighton registration.
I love the green 850 TDI and it seems to be looking better with age.

I've genuinely missed the old Red diesel, nice to know its coming back...
Shove off has the red one been off the road that long.. Feels like only yesterday you were on your way to Portugal! Safe travels Geoff & family!
Great fleet Geoff. Look forward to seeing the barn chock full of rare Volvos eventually 👍🏼😍
I wish you all the best at collecting all the 850 diesels Geoff! Then when I put in a search engine 850 for sale, I will know and get excited that they are all petrol cars, and some the turbos yummy 😂😂
You are a legend with your cars and love of them.
❤️💯🎖️

Geoff well done with your Volvo 3 good luck.
Safe journeys for you and your family and enjoy your travels.
Great to see the red one back! One for the old school subscribers
Geoff take Mrs Geoff out and spoil her. Looks like she could do with a nice meal after seeing her sat in the passenger seat!
It will be the resistor on the blower motor cheap as chips but can be fiddly on some.
come to croatia this summer! please Geoff!
Safe journey enjoy your new adventure
You would fit in fine here in Sweden 😅 Lots of Volvos to buy 🤙
Geoff buys volvos.
Hi Geoff, you've got a canny bit of space for more volvos there.😁
Hopefully there is another big road trip or race against the macmsster!! Hope all is well, take care
2:05 Blower motor or more likely the resistor for the motor
Bumper cars Geoff😂😂😂😂❤

@@whitesapphire5865 I have a white v70 2.5 manual, only done 75k. Mint car, needs nothing but I've had no one interested at 2.5k
Now listen Geoff - are you going to tell us where you're going before you go or after you've arrived? 😂😂😂. That's a big barn - I wonder if you can fill it? 🤔
I'm interested in the FUF but Jeoff won't tell me how much he wants for it considering it needs repair cost unknown

Eerŕrrr , Geoff i think you really need to feed your passenger. Before its to late. ???

The garage is a bit empty not a great selling point Geoff 😂
Have a 99 2.5 tdi.
Wheres the trackday car ?
A lemon grove!!!
How much is fuf lol
Geoff, Do you still have your Touring Car Volvo?
Where is the Saab 95?
Need to change the channel name to "Geoff Buys Volvos"
Green 850 for sale?
Knee protection for the passenger Oh and a helmet
I see you have a passenger in the Brown one. Do elaborate? My wife has one of his boney mates in her car also.
“Off of”!!!
What happened to the Renault 10? :0/
It went this summer it’s not too far away :)
What you use for the plastic trim restore?
I paint them. Search TH-cam for ‘Geoff buys cars don’t paint the plastics’
Volvophile... 😮
Hi Geoff when i win big MRs GEOFFs getting a VOLVO AMAZON 122s. Or P1800.
Hi Geoff I've emailed you and sent messages, I want to buy fuf 😎👍
Best car he has . I hope he sells it to you. It deserves cherishing
Ah I shall check, have you messaged on Facebook or insta? They might work too

how does Geoff dodge car trading legislation....or doesn't he?
The kids of today won't have a clue how to tinker with a classic😢
Hahaha skelly still in da car lol
That looks like the start of a good banger race👍
You don't want to use tape now
I love them but does your TH-cam channel finance these? You must have pumped thousands into them.
There isn’t much money in all of my cars I’d be amazed if whole fleet was worth eight grand
Maybe we should stop crushing Teslas and move to Greenland 🇬🇱

PUT THE LEATHER INTERIOR FROM THE BIRINGHAM V70 OR THE GREEN TDI AND PUT IT IN THE RED TDI THEN IT WILL BE PERFECT
I prefer the half leather on my red one, especially in hot clmates!
@@GeoffBuysCars DIT YOU TAKE THE LEATHER SEATS AND TRIM FROM THE BIRINGHAM V70
