Oooooh, volvo friend.

I tend to keep my volvos. Well, longer than 2 weeks anyway.

She’s arrived!

Picture from the ‘secure’ compound in Wigan. It’ll be getting delivered tomorrow.

Taken a deposit on it and getting collected Wednesday hopefully.

Check out the rear axle...

Itis.

I think I’ve managed to source a set of celebration front seats for it. With my frame it’ll be like sitting on the shitter on those seats.

It’s not getting delivered today now. I’m sweating!!

I’m doing a bit of an @Ant1 and starting a thread before the car has arrived so hope nothing goes wrong or I’ll never live it down. My other volvo is down due to a blow turbo and after 6 weeks I’m not any closer to getting it fixed so the solution - buy another! This time its a saloon. It has...

I always found it s**t other than one or two games.

Should be going on the 23rd. Like all my cars, it’s going to Scotland.

I’m tempted by this for my lads. Saying that, they just play fortnite which I’m pretty sure you could still play on the 360!

Ive got gamepass for my kids and most of the games aren’t the best. You certainly don’t get new titles.

Turbo going back to the ‘builder’.

Im getting a refund now. Just a shame it’s taken 6 weeks to get to this point.

Apparently it was fully tested before he sent it out.

Thats tempting with how I’ve been feeling over the last couple of days. We’ll get there I’m sure.

It gets better, went to measure to get the correct size the wheel should be and it appears that the shaft is bent. Buy cheap buy twice. Even though this wasn’t that cheap.

Hey, he’s done 200 turbos this year without complaint! Allegedly!

Yeah, I think it’s been machined for a 19t but is a 16t housing if that makes sense. The guy has now been in touch and says he measured it all and it’s all correct etc etc. send it!

Got the turbo back but the gap doesn’t look good. I have tried to speak to the turbo builder who is now throwing a deaf un. Doh.

In the volvo community I am the youngster.

Are you calling me a loser?

I think you misunderstand me. I wasn’t judging you guys, I was judging myself. I wasn’t calling you guys chavs (though 99% of the population probably would as you’re car enthusiasts) but I was just viewing from an outside perspective. Re the jap meet, I think that’s slightly different as I...

16 years ago I went on a meet and there was this 40 year old guy there. I remember thinking; ‘whats this 40 year old guy hanging around with a load of clio chavs for?’. Now, I’m that 40 yr old guy.

I can’t do it now. 120k mile cars going for 3k Most of them have dog s**t ‘track’ mods. The glory days were 2015-2018.

Looks like a good day, sorry I couldn’t make it but I am at least 40 years older than everyone in those pictures.

It’s the massive torque from the 172 that the clutches can’t handle! I can’t see you having an issue with a valeo clutch.
