Phoenix eVolv

Hi Folks,
We have organised another Distinguished Gentleman's Drive for cars over 30 years old for 2026 - Sunday, September 27th.

As before, get yourselves all guessed up in as grand attire as you can muster.

The planned route starts over at Broke, with coffees and brekky at Magoony’s Coffee House is worth the early rise.

Total drive time about 2 hours covering approx. 160kms. All sealed roads, and the run up from Singleton via Gresford to Vacy is lovely countryside.

We'll allow plenty of time for stops, so if you're able to convince your long suffering partners to join the drive (dressed appropriately of course!) there will be ample opp' for them to find things of interest along the way - new exhibition at the Singleton Arts Centre, magnificent Vanilla Slice and quirky shops at Vacy , and Smallshaws at Branxton for lunch always good. We've set up a Wine Tasting after that at Crossing Creek Vineyard a little boutique vineyard just down the road after lunch as well if you like.

Of course, we can then also head over to our favourite vineyard
Kelman Vineyard

Tell your classic car driving mates to come join us!

Out with the old and in with the new.
(Interesting fiddle someone did with the old pump relay).
Fuel system service time.

Phoenix eVolv only supplies quality parts for your classic Volvo.
These uni joints from a customer car are barely 15,000 old dear oh dear: shattered pins, broken caps.
Be sure to regularly pump grease into yours if they are the greasable type, and if any indication of wear replace all three.
We like the Japanese or Swedish made joints. No charge shipping Australia wide for a set of three plus new bolt & nut kits plus bearing/tailshaft support rubbers. Amazons, 1800’s, 140’s and 240’s.

Taking 122 out for a Sunday drive. Come and join us on September 28th for a good cause. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gentlemansdrive.com%2Fdrives%2Faustralia%2Fpokolbin&data=05%7C02%7C%7C1d857d1f2d744582a7c108ddef959cd2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638930148044873528%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8wpu%2BQ%2FiGBLP2goPjkAn6KW52fvBrENUbOCDQtURSPs%3D&reserved=0

We’ve been offered a limited number of 122 (Amazon) windscreens – clear, no tint.
We don’t normally carry these in stock, and it appears O’Briens and AutoGlass Warehouse are nil stock locally. Of those, our experience has been those are a bit soft and scratch and suffer from light chipping easily. These ones are from the UK and promise to be of high quality. When ya’ need one, ya need one…..or put the final sparkle on your resto’ or grab some piece of mind. Ex_Melbourne they’ll be about $550 + GST. Depending upon level of interest we might be able to get that down a little. Let us know if you’d like us to put your name on one (or more). When they’re gone they’re gone.

Good luck Team Sparks!
Keen to hear how you like those KONI’s and the heavy duty CVI springs on the rough roads.

I think we like Skittles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnKNkfCm-38

Wait for it….Great work by Shaun Relf in “the sneaky Volvo” (ref from about 2:15) weekend at Mallala. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/12JoUH7z29g/ Effectively first time out, mixing it well with the much lighter Cortinas and Minis.
