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...
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!
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.
As most of you know, I have had a few cars but never had a v8. I've always wanted one so have decided to opt for the vxr8.
48k miles with full history. It's also the auto version which I wouldn't have touched 5 yrs ago but now I love - it just be an age thing.
Anyway, some pics;
I'm wanting to get some tunes going on in the Volvo but I have no real knowledge of stereo.
I've got an upgraded head unit which is a 4 x 50w job.
My front speakers are the standard 5.25 door speakers and that's about it. It doesn't sound that bad but I want more.
I'm considering some...
Did a little cleaning session on Phils new MPS yesterday and today. I quite like the car, really quick top end and would make a nice practical daily.
The car had some kind of sealant on but the paint was rough to the touch.
What I did - spray with pre clean stuff, rinse, snow foam, rinse, two...
Thought I'd start a thread for any pictures anyone might of taken at CSF16. Apologies that mine are heavily sax laden but it was my pal who was taking them.
Really enjoyed the day as always and many thanks to admin for sorting it.
The evos replacement has arrived in the shape of this mk1 Saxo Vts!
Here's a few pics I've taken after getting it home. Can't drive it until tomorrow when I can swap the insurance over.
Firstly apologies for the links but here's a picture I took of my old cup a few years ago.
And here is a for sale advert by dtm cars.

This wouldn't be that bad if I didn't know that the car in the picture was broken for parts around two years ago...
Our kid recently bought this vr6. It's the auto version which is pretty terrible at first but not that bad when you get used to it.
All the usual cleaning stuff that I'm not going to bore you with but these are the results. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
Been on the look out for something so I didn't have to run the Evo on daily duties. I was hoping to buy my pals 240 but that never happened so have been on the look out for something for a few weeks.
I saw this on the trader, service history and importantly a full mot.
It's the 2.3 high...
Since my last Volvo opportunity fell by the way side I find myself looking for other Volvo estates constantly.
This one has come up. Not quite as retro as the 240 but I still think it's cool.
My wife is absolutely against it to the extent that it could put my marriage in jepoadry if I bought...
I need a new one but I find it all very confusing! My last two have been Panasonic viera things and are still going strong! When upgrade I tend to move the old one to another room in the house.
I want 50 inch plus and the budget is £800-£900 ideally.
looked at this one in currys and liked it...
Just been with my pal to pick up his new 135i. It was a private deal against his 370;
Got the chance to drive it a bit on the way back and loved it. Ive heard them get a bad press before but I certainly wouldn't mind one if I had the money. This one had the m sport exhaust on which sounds ace...
My pal from work dropped his 370z around for me to give the once over before hopefully selling.
I've never driven one and initially wasn't that impressed but once you give it some it really does pick up.
Pretty happy with how it turned out.
I've been looking for a new winter daily for a while as the Evo is off the road for the winter and the silver 182 was sold.
Never really considered a Leon but the more I looked at them the more it made sense (I've got three kids so the four dOors are great).
I decided I wanted a Cupra r with...
