Time again for us to host a BBQ night I think. Location - Lincoln Saturday 26th September. We have room for people to sleep over if you wish but could do with numbers. There is a spare room, two sofa beds and as much floor space as we can make. Food and Drinks will need supplying although...

Took the car out for a couple of volvo guys who popped over. Ended up at a local industrial site and got some pictures taken.

Now I've done this before but on this one, I'm confused. I've tried two BOV's so far, both old style HKS ones but rather than them dumping, I just get a fluttering sound from the turbo as the air decided to vent that way. how the bov is fitted (Sorry for the cam phone quality) I may be...

Previously, I have had this grill fitted which looked great imo but i've found another recently. What are peoples thoughts on the two? Old (black eggcrate with silver surround) New (silver eggcrate with chrome surround) and silver looks good on blue. (TB sticker on my c70)

The 850 had to go due to various issues so just replaced it with this - A 1998 C70 T5 Gt spec with 87000 miles on it. The previous owner seemed to upset a few people. quite a few key marks. And since I have now sold the volvo 18's that came with the car, just replaced them with a set...

Good points : 258Bhp at the crank with 280ft/lbs of torque at 1.7bar (23 psi) of boost. Bad points - Short story : Engine is shot. Bad Points - Long story : On the drive down, the car seems to struggling at some points to get up and go. Once we arrived, Iain noticed that it was not idling on...

Don't you love it when you come out to find this in the morning. ?140 to repair it and they only stole an old bag with my college course work. Left all of the toolkit etc in the boot.

Now its turning to winter, decided that I needed a Daily Drive while I work on the 740 over the winter. Its a 1996 855 with CD trim spec with 140k on the clock. P.S. It cost me ?250 ($500) :-D P.P.S Its a T-5 :-D :-D

I managed to pick up a repilca volvo add-on bodykit for my car while in Sweden. I sprayed up and fitted this week druing the evenings. A couple of small issues to sort out - the main one being the dent in my sill which I was hoping to be covered by the kit - it kinda highlights...
