Oh yeah...not so good with this internet stuff


EDIT Fixed.

Love them old Volvo estates such a great shape and still look good even today imo. 300+bhp is pretty impressive for a big comfy barge

I would be very happy with the V70R and the 280 as a two car garage. Great cars.

That's the good thing about a T5 or R - you get 240 to 250 bhp from the factory. Chuck a map at it and 280ish is no problem. Tweak a bit more and 300 plus is relatively easy. Get deeper pockets and 500+ can be yours.

I had a stripped out S70 T5 with various mods and it was just utterly bonkers. It pulled in 5th from about 40 mph like my old MX5 turbo did in second and third

De-badged, facelift indicators and cleaned it

I remember when I first met you, you said you quite liked the idea of a pond.

It's no surprise to me to see you have the biggest one ever created.

well done old boy

 

[crunchee]

We have another!
That looks likes a Passion with the optional coloured interior?

Yep, Passion 1.0 with an astounding 71BHP

The boring as hell (to me) Audi Sport for the other half. Soon to be replaced
by a Brabus Smart ForTwo

1980 Merc 280SE for a bit of retro and my 17th Volvo - this one
being a V70R manual with various upgrades including forged rods, 19t etc etc.
Not sure of BHP, but probably 320+

I approve of the Audi replacement must post pics!
Thread winner though with the Merc and Volvo pair. Both look fantastic.

Didn't realise you were joining this club too

It's a good all round car for me, but the run in period is so boring

 

[Skillmister]

Love those volvos above. My godparents had a bog standard v70 estate of the era, such big cars fit anything you want in the back. Can imagine they are nice with a load of powaar

That's what I started thinking. A better exhaust and map and I'm hitting 300bhp for relatively little cost. Shark performance in Notts isn't far from me.

That chap, Shem Green, is a bit of a Volvo legend if ever you fancy some tweaking.

Pick this up Saturday

 

[Siliconslave]

Nice toy, looks like a convertible too, might want to get the windscreen tint sorted out before your kid gets pulled over


How big are those wicker baskets?

 

[Akagi]

I really don't understand the convertible range rovers or the people who buy them. I guess you can climb a small mountain with the roof down? That would be pretty cool.

 

[Howard]

Lol that got me for a moment!

 

[Akagi]

I only just realised.

But my previous comments stand.

 

[MusicalChris]

Just a Fiesta

 

[paradigm]

@MusicalChris Do prefer the pre-facelift Fiesta, before they went all "Aston grille" at the front end.

Was one picture a "before" and one an "after"? Paint looks really flat in the first and really well polished in the second!

Peugeot boxer van fairly heavily modified
