Greeting from the President of Kelab Volvo Klasik- Malaysia
Its hot and it rains !
But that’s really nothing compared to the weather that an English countryside can throw at you in the middle of winter. Ever since I spent a winter at my mate’s place in Hertfordshire, I’ve come to appreciate, nay love! my Malaysian weather. You can always rely on the cooling rain or glorious heat. Yeah, sure you sweat a little but hey, an air conditioner will set you right in seconds. And what’s the big deal about getting soaked in the rain…just have a hot bath afterwards. Good as new.
In the same way, I’ve come to appreciate my old Volvo over some of the newer cars. Sure its old, but its also reliable. And it even ‘appreciates’ in value. I picked up my car literally from the side of the road some 10 years ago. With the help of an optimistic mechanic, he helped me restore the ‘ol gal’ to the condition that she’s in today. It’s been an uphill task sometimes but worth it. I’ve had the car break down on me just once through the entire period. Amazing? I guess not when you’ve spoken to some of the other Volvo owners. (although I have heard of a friend’s mum who didn’t have such good luck with her car, poor lady).
The Volvo is also (…in my biased opinion) the perfect Malaysian car. Robustly built to handle pot holes and winding roads, it carries the family safely about the country. Large enough an interior to house the family with boot space for the luggage needed. And mostly, it’s easy to fix. Any ala Malaysian under-the-tree based mechanic would be quite happy to attend to your car. But sadly, these cars were from an era gone by. I suppose that’s what they mean when they say the “…good old days”. As the classic Malay saying goes, tak semestinya yang baru adalah baik dan yang lama buruk .
Perhaps that’s why the club was started. To capture and preserve the quality of life that the 1960s offered. Today with over 110 active memberships, Kelab Volvo Klasik continues to grow. And that’s almost 30 incredible years after production stopped. So come along. Get a classic Volvo!

Volvo for life
Remember the Club AGM is on April 25, 2004 starting at 10.30 am.
Well everyone that I know that own a Volvo talk about it.... Volvo for life..... And this statement always appear in article about the subject of Volvo..... Well what does it really meant.... I suppose many people know the real meaning of this but perhaps there are people that are as confused as me..... the story goes like this, at a friend house where I show him my vintage 122, the first thing he says is ... Do you know the meaning of Volvo for life..... I was taken aback and for a second could not give a proper answer, for I am really new to this Volvo sorts of motto...... And my friend continue.... He say most people think it is that people would use Volvo for all their life and stick to using Volvo cars all throughout their life..... No He say it is not what it meant for Volvo for life.... the real reason is that Volvo is made for safe driving and it save life.... So in short it is Volvo for life..... Well I hope everyone is as delighted as me and now know the real meaning of this 'Volvo for life'.... Have a nice day.
