I guess powder coating and not tyres is their specialty

Had the weights moved to the inside at the local tyre place. Cost me £20 but it’s worth it.

I know, apparently the guy couldn’t balance them on the rear. I’ll probably take them to a proper place and get them re done on the inside.

Wheels are back!

If you can handle every tdi passing you on the dual carriageway while your dropping two cogs then the 200 is fine. No doubt, they’re great on a ‘b road blast’ but for real world driving I don’t think think they’re all that. They’re not good on juice. They’re not fast anymore unless you’re...

Is it fox?

Nooooo, I actually like how it looks on the trims! I could always swap them over from the other 940 if I really wanted diesel scene points.

Bought some 25mm spacers for the Volvo. Might get some Gaz shocks and chop the springs but that’s it for the mods!!!!

Silver it is! Thanks for the replies.

I had a 197 cup, it didn’t feel as fast as my 172s and 182s and I never got about 28mpg and I drive like a saint. They do look good but you’re chopping a depreciation proof rb for a 200 that will be at 3k in two to three years. I’d stick with the rb or go Megane.

You trying to say it looks s**t without The wheels........????

It’s the elsecar at the races meet. Mainly vag stuff but fuelled society have a stand.

Ba dum cha!

Washed and ready for elsecar on Sunday. Hopefully the wheels should be back from the coaters by then.

Scene safe

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...

Great thread bump!

Ever refurb time.

Scum tree mate. To be fair. It’s not as nice as it looks in the pictures BUT it is really nice for a 23 year old Volvo and relatively low miles on 135k. The temptation is to lower it, space it etc but I’m just gonna run it as it is. It’s a great daily for the kids and great on juice compared to...

Work horse.

It’s actually not as big as you...... Who am I kidding? It’s freaking huge!!

When I play with oily bits the car breaks.

Yeah, it wasn’t detailing world style as I didn’t have a stool.

Clayed, polished and waxed.

True, Bmw and Audi’s were a rare sight back then.

I still find it hard to believe that someone went into a show room and paid however much it was for one of these. It’s basically a truck but in car estate form.

Few interior shots after a clean out today.

It got respect at The lotherton one.

I’m working. I always like going on the little train too.

Two Years to the day since I bought The Volvo today. Time flies!
