Some people like old man German cars and some people like old man Swedish cars.

Previous owner said 280bhp but I think that’s a tad optimistic. Probably around 225-250bhp at a rough guess. It’s certainly nippy.

I have a passion for old volvos.

Yeah, this ones for shows and Sunday drives.

This one is my garage queen. Had a lot of money spent on it by previous owners and pretty quick for a late 80s car. Just need to find some decent wheels and then potentially bring the rear up as it’s borderline reverse rake. Some pics;

In the home booth today sorting out the silver front splitter. Decided to go Matt black so was out bright and early to home bargains to get a can of primer and a couple of cans of Matt black. Front bumper masked up. And then in primer. And painted; Pretty happy with how it came out...

Not had a clio in a while! Must be at least a year now.

No.

No, that ship has officially sailed.

Not far off!

Got some BC racing coilies.

I’ve had them. They’re not that fast and I got more mpg out of the vxr8!

My mother always told me. There’s only one thing worse than getting talked about and that’s not getting talked about. That’s helping me through this thread.

I’m not @MarkCup

I think this is a little unfair! My recent history had been pretty good. Volvo 850 - didn’t lose Pug 405 - bought for £450 and sold for £450 Volvo 940 smoker - bought for £1100 and sold for £1500 Volvo 360 - bought for £1500 and sold for £2400 Volvo 940 turbo - bought for £1100 and sold for...

For genuine?

That’s what I’ve done. To be fair the lads been sound about it. Just one of those ‘intermittent’ faults unfortunately that could be one of 3 things - each thing costs about £300 to replace though.
