So, @craigyt couldnt handle how cool I was with my 360 so thought he’d join the party. I was looking at this car myself when I was on the hunt but ended up buying the red one. This one is quite rare in black and has an awesome retro sound system in it that sounds pretty sweet! Went down to...

Picked up the 940s replacement. 1983 Volvo 360. 52k from new and smashed the 100 odd mile trip home with no issues. She’s old but not in bad nick! I’ll get some better pictures tomorrow after a clean.

Was going through some old pics and found a few of my old saxos. I’ve got none of my first which was a facelift VTR but have managed to find some of the rest. My first vts was this mk1 amazon which I bought for £750. I ‘stripped’ it, stuck some buckets in, a pro comp filter (which I bought off...

My new saxo has been picked up and is on its way from Scotland. I’ve bought it blind from Scotland so fingers crossed it’s not a total shitter! Should be coming tomorrow night so I’ll update when it’s arrived but here’s a picture on the truck. Alas it’s not boosted or on bodies but seems a...

As you know, I like Volvos. This has come up for sale and I can’t make my mind up whether to go for it or not. I’ve wantes a v8 Volvo for a few years - they’re few and far between. This one has the 3.5 litre rover v8 with the addition of boost. It’s running around 300bhp. I’d have to sell my...

So my Audi has died. It’s been with my for 8 years and I’ve done around 150k miles on it - a total of 225k miles on the clock. I put this post on Instagram yesterday after i treated it to a wash. Drove down to Doncaster to get some service parts as I always do the oil every six months as...

Anyone off here?

Sent the banded steels in for a refurb today. I had my heart set on a bright silver but after looking at some of the other colours I found myself drawn to the anthracite colours. I’ve opted for silver but I’ve got until the end of the day to change my mind. I’ve added a pole so cast your vote...

I bought this today. It’s not perfect, it has some rust but is still a tidy looking car for 23 years old. Plans are to turn up the fuel, turn up the boost and make a lot of smoke. Not sure I’ll be going to the extremes I’ve gone to on the other 940 but we will see what happens. It’s not fast...

Here she is. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202222097152

Been smoking around in my brothers navara for a few weeks as he ran out of drive space for it. It’s quite fun to be fair. Don’t think it’ll ever pass another test and it leaks more than the Exxon Valdez but I still like driving it. Decided to jazz is up today with some ‘UN’ decals. It was...

Had the first opportunity to go out in this bad boy last night. Craigyt’s OM606 turbo merc. It’s an absolute beast of a motor! Sounds and goes like a v8 and feels proper muscle. Going in for some tweaking of the timing and fuel today but should be comfortably running in excess of 350bhp when...

Sold the Clio to fund our lasses desire to go to Florida this year so needed something cheaper. I decided to go for a 1995 E34 525 estate as I’ve always liked the shape. Went to look in Manchester and took it out for a test drive. All good and not in bad nick for an old bus. Did the deal and...

My house was owned by some Honda nut. He left the loft full of shite but I did find these little models today. They’re worth f**k all but they do look cool so I took some pictures of them. JDM bro.

I’ve lost count of the number of cliosI’ve owned but I’ve been without for nearly two years. Anyway, big thanks to bashracing for linking me up to this one. It’s definitely an ex forum car as there is a cs wallet and other related shizzle in the paperwork. Spec is as follows: Nearly new BC DR...

Just chatting to a guy re a ph1 I’m interested in. I don’t know if it’s on here or not. Anyway, it’s got some rust in the filler cap - to me it looks like surface which doesn’t bother me as I’d get it painted. Anyone any experience with some rusting here? They’re old cars now so I know it...

I've still got the Megane but I've given up trying to afford fast cars now, the tax, the running costs, the insurance etc. I still like going fast so this year decided to do my bike license as it's something I've always wanted to do. The first bike I bought was be trusty cub. Love it and still...

Some of you may recognise this from a thread I did a few months ago. I've bought this from @craigyt to replace the cupra as it's a bit more spacious for the kids and better for the dog. There's not going to be much on this thread as I'm not planning on doing anything to the car. I do, however...

I haven't seen one on the road in ages and saw one yesterday. What a good looking car they are now! Didn't use to like the front end on them but much prefer them to the 172 now. Only ever had one before which was an exclusive but seeing that one had me heading to the classifieds.

As I'm moving house I needed something a little 'cheaper' to tinker and play with. After seeing @craigyt cub I decided to get one myself. Probably only going to update when I fall off but here are some pictures. I know it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea but it's something different for...

Just a slave to the scene. Few pics with our kids t25. It's pretty awful to drive but I still want one!

Was down at @craigyt house again tonight doing some work on the 340.....again. Anyway, he's just finished restoring a cub90 so thought I'd take some shots of it with the Volvo. So cool I think I might have to buy on myself!

The 940 went and I will miss it BUT she was a thirsty beast! My intention initially was to daily the 340 BUT it breaks down every day so I needed something a little more economical for work. I was looking at fabia vrs but finding a nice one was a bit of a challenge. This then popped up near...

Was down at @craigyt s house again having the Volvo fixed......again and he'd decided to throw a bucket of water over his Megane so would be rude not to take some pictures of the daily. I love this thing! One with the Volvos!

Anyone's on here? No pictures yet but seems a good price and has never been to Clio turbo! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201862945689

If anyone knows anyone that might be interested. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201828246138

All set to pick this up on Wednesday to add to the Volvo fleet! It's a bit silly really BUT Donald trump is president so who knows how long we have left. 160k miles and auto so will keep the wife happy. Standard too and £170 a year to insure! Not my pics but I'm sure you can see that it's...

As I'm sure a lot of you know, I like old volvos, especially rwd ones. I saw a 340 1.7 and I loved it. My mind fill d with thoughts of banded steels, lows and Weber carbs so I bought it in the dark for £950. It had a welded diff and drove ok for a 30yr old car. I got it home and binned it on a...

Was just browsing YouTube and came across this video. 2004 - 2008 was my favourite era on Clio sport. The website might of not been as busy but the cars were awesome! Loads of Williams, valvers, hybrids etc. Early throttle bodied cars and there was always loads of meets going off. Good times.

After fitting my new front shocks @craigyt and I decided to go take a few shots of the cars. Light was failing so not the best but you get the idea.
