i actually quite like that.lol.volvo's are very good cars.my old man worked for them for years before becoming a bodyshop boss for sytners...we've always had volvos and bimmers in the family

This is my first experience with a Volvo, certainly not disappointed. :D

Nice Volvo the C70 specialy the conv, is it a T5? i have a Volvo V70R sitting on the drive at the mo, lovely car and goes like a rocket gotta say beat quite a few m3 in it, but hs been slighltly upgraded think 0-60 around 5 secs but the mid range is incredible, its has an auto box but foot flat to the floor it does not change out of 2nd until 85- 90 mph....but alas i have to sell her as the missus is getting fed up with collecting cars , so the deal was i can get the 7 series ( which i have always wanted) but the v70 has to go, so one project out the window ...lol

No it is just the 2.0, it is also got an auto box, will be using it for work so needed to have the best available economy. :D

Still very nice tho, and again volvo engine seem to go forever, only problem i have had with mine is they seem to suffer from electrical problems but i joined the volvo performance club and they have good advice on there.

Thanks Dave, I have joined the Volvo Owners club, in case.

No prob, Lovely looking car, and plenty of upgrades to do, thats if you need to ....

[BigAl]

I think I will be just keeping the car standard, I must be getting old when I am not interested in upgrading cars. :D

[kee1173]

think it must happen to all of us, got te 7 series now and everything has to be original, no exhaust upgrades or bigger alloys, even put myself off buying carbon replacement badges for bonnet, wheels etc and just went for std....gotta be an age thing...LOL

[BigAl]

It could be catching Dave, we will have zimmer frames with go faster stripes. lol :D

[kee1173]

zimmer frame with a V8, now that would be something...gonnna start the designs now ...LOL

[BigAl]
