Sightings in Malaysia

I would like to thank all my pals for their hospitality during my recent trip to Malaysia. Turns out, the timing of my trip was perfect. Had I been there a couple weeks later, I would be right smack in the middle of World Cup Football (Soccer) madness, and none of you guys would be sober enough to pick up the phone. Having said that, there was still quite a lot of Pre-World Cup drinking going on, however I did sober up for a day or two to take these photos of classic Volvo sightings in town.

The first two photos are of a beautiful ivory Volvo 122 4-Door sedan, followed by a striking blue Volvo 123GT. As a kid, there were these two Amazons in the "old neighborhood" that I've always admired. I wanted one then, and I still want one now. The P1800 of course was a "must have" as soon as I saw one available. If Roger Moore had one, I had to have one too! As for the Amazon ... I'll get one right after I move into one of those houses with a 4-car garage. Unfortunately, as with most other home owners in California, I'm upside down with my property values, so I'll be staying in this house for the next 130 years. The last photo is a sighting of a stripped P1800 in a paint shop waiting to be repainted silver.
