Top banana imo can't beat a proper Volvo, S80 is on my wishlist as we speak, I know the car is old now but the seats and the general class look seals it for me.

they do look good in white with some blue lights on top :)
nice cars, a proper wolf in sheeps clothing. proper fast.

Nice......I'd love a T5

Nice motor! A colleague treated himself to a V70 D5 on a 10-plate last weekend, and it is absolutely loaded. Best of all, the seats are still true Volvo seats - THE most comfortable, bar none. VAG could learn a trick or two about seats from Volvo.

Thanks guys.They really do make good seats and this one being an R model is half leather half alcantara,heated and electric with memory.The suspention set up is lower that a T5 thanks to Porsche but the seat absorbe the stiff ride and the lambda adjusment does the trick to my bad back.I had an S80 2.5tdi vw engine that was very briilliant on fuel and just floated and the road.I prefer the old school because they are made before Ford interfered.I`m waiting for a mapped ecu next week that`ll bring it to 270bhp and loads of torque and with some bits and bobs can get to 300bhp.

I always liked old Volvo's - what colour is that, looks like a custom shade?

Lovely big barge! ;)

Its a pearl saffron gold,it is a factory colour mate.S/V70`s only come in this colour as an R model,C70`s come random.

Nice motor.

FWD or 4WD? If the former how's your tyre budget looking? :eek:

FWD mate.I have Avon zz3`s all around which have an excellent grip reflecting in no wheel spin that makes them last if thats what u mean.

[zollaf]

avons rock. :)

I now have a mapped ECU fitted and Avons do struggle a bit but the do grip well and the goes like a crazy horse.The boost is up by about 6-7psi,totally different car now :D

[zollaf]

thats a lot of power for a FWD car thats on the limits of grip anyway so i think any tyre would struggle for grip when the right foot is planted. :)
but, its a good alternative to an s4.

I love s/rs 4/6 but the running costs on repairs etc are totally mad where is I`m running about 270bhp and loads of torque and can get a replacement engine and auto box for £300 max.Therefore I prefer the diesel side of VAG.By the way I`ve driven mymates golf 4 last night which has a wide body kit fitted,front tyres are 255 and rear 295 it sits like on the rails and instead of 1.4 on V5 it has a modified and mapped 2.8 lump in it,that car does shift tbh and looks the nuts.I`ll take a picture later on post on here.

*Cough*

Is that not illegal? One of the many reasons everyones' insurance is so bloody high. As that is fraud!

It is.I just found out he hasn`t got the v5 in his hands yet to rectify it but thats not the reason y insurance is high but the reason is that too many people make a false claims.

I saw that front bumper used on a copper coloured C70 Convertible the other day - which gave the car a bit of an edge.

Thats an R bumper and it does give a better look.One member put it on a 940 too and looked very nice.

One of these Volvo's used to race me in my FTO few times.I thought what a cheeky grandad!!!
But then I have learned more about them and next time he was next to me on lights I pretended that need to go left :biglaugh:

[ChA6dders]

Lovely car mate and lovely colour in the Saffron, I've had to V70's in my time a D5 and 2.0 petrol sadly never an R smashing motor, and yes to all the comments about comfort

[turpal]

She`ll be at North weald tomorrow if it doesn`t rain.I`ll be taking some pictures and videos.

[MalcQV]

Very nice.
A work colleague has just purchased a T6. About 320bhp. He uses it regularly too. Will just bugger off up to Scotland or Wales at the weekend for fun. Oh not to have a mortgage or rent to pay :D
