I think your parking heater is a little nicer than mine, being totaly self contained! As you said, parking across the street your hosed if yours would have to plug in like mine. I also really like the interior fan option that would run the vent system and actually warm the car! Mine warms the engine but being up at the front, and having no way to circulate, I don't get any interior heat from it. The engine is part way up to temp though so I do get heat much more quickly.
I think the ultimate diesel volvo would be a later model 9xx series wagon like you guys can get over there, with the huge dump truck like M90 manual trans. A couple pump mods, more boost and a limited slip diff and you would have a hell of a wagon! And the comfort, I don't even know how much nicer a later model 9 series would be, but I'm sure its an upgrade from my '84!
