Not a patch on my old one.

Any further info about that one, didn't you say it had been involved in a 'drifting' accident?

Yeah, lad who crashed it sold it and the new guy seems to be decent. Went through it’s mot in December with no issues.

Lolvo Barges for the win!

Also I’m sure I’ve seen one very similar to yours oop north? It wasn’t yours (checked reg). Sure it was Leeds too which is why I thought it was yours!

Is this VS.net now?
That 740 is quality, get it bought.
Out of interest, roughly how many cars have you actually owned over the years? (Genuine question, not banter!)

 

[McGherkin]

That 340 was awesome, I'd love one with a T5 in it for sideways fun.

This reminded me I had been in the loft and found some old photos including my first car

At the time it was so un-cool but I would love back now. Bar the crease in the door ( backed my dads car into it) it was in amazing condition 40k own by two OAPs

Erm, probably around 40? That’s only two a year in my driving career.

Weekend clean.

 

[DaveDreads]

In the last couple of weeks you've cleaned that thing more times than i've cleaned mine in a year.

I have no life.

 

[Mr R.]

I have no life.

I know that feeling.

 

[leeds_182]

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

 

[bill]

If everyone didn't know any better, they would think you'd had the car 2 years! Good innings!

Its Looking well.

Ever refurb time.

 

[leeds_182]

Washed and ready for elsecar on Sunday.

Hopefully the wheels should be back from the coaters by then.

 

[R3k1355]

Whats going on at Elsecar?

 

[Clio_fool]

What's happening at Elsecar mate?

 

[leeds_182]

It’s the elsecar at the races meet.

Mainly vag stuff but fuelled society have a stand.

 

[182_steve]

That car looks sooo different with the wheels now off and away, shows what a good choice they are for it IMO

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

😂🙈

I'll get my coat!

 

[leeds_182]

Wheels are back!

 

[alistairolsen]

Those wheel weights are criminal

 

[Mr R.]

Those wheel weights are criminal

Only just noticed them, they look shocking but what else are you going to do?

 

[leeds_182]

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.

 

[leeds2592]

They look great.

Where'd you get them done?

 

[R3k1355]

Knock on weight with some paint on it wouldn't look as bad.

Also putting the heaviest part of the tyre on the weight spot - wouldn't that help the balance?

 

[leeds_182]

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

 

[cat171]

So much better!! The other place needed to have a word with themselves!

I guess powder coating and not tyres is their specialty

 

[RMDavis]

Looks awesome mate. Silver was definitely the right choice!

 

[182_steve]

They look great!! :up:

Why on earth did they put the weights on the outside of the wheel and not the inside, simple fix for 20 quid tho!

There was no room to balance them 100% but I’ve gone 85% and had them but on the inside.

 

[bashracing]

A lad at work added 200g to the wheel on my old 940 as a joke,
When he asked next day if the car drove OK I just said perfect mate, why ?
proper tanks these, not like modern shite that rattles the steering wheel out of your hand if the wheel's 10 grams out.

Makes sense :up:
