After the dumping off the Sahara on my car Sunday after only cleaning that morning. My misses ran her finger down the bonnet and said "What's all this sand on your car?"


She swiftly saw the back of my hand I tell you!!


She won't do that again..... wink

You all have some lovely Volvo's! I want to play!

Picked this up last Friday and I absolutely adore it. S60 2.0T. Couple of subtle mods. The BBS Nebula's have been sprayed and the rub strips have been colour coded. 30 mm drop and its been poly bushed.

OOh, that's nice. smile

Thought about putting some eyebrows (no, not bloody eyelashes!) on it? I think it'll really set the front end off nicely for £18.

Thanks! It is wonderful. Loads of history, 93k on the clock and the space ball gear change :-D
Brows may be considered after looking at your V. I'm just enjoying driving it at the moment. Had a Phase 1 S40 T4 before this and the S60 is leagues ahead (even if it does feel a little under powered. But I can live with that.)

Spaceballs? oh st, there goes the planet...


The 2.0T will feel underpowered after the frantic little T4 but that's gonna be expected really. You should try a T5.. preferably a remapped one, it's like a nuclear reactor under the bonnet. biggrin

You'd think I was on commission wouldn't you haha.

I'm not, I just spent the last 4 years tarting up an old plod car (which cleared 210,000 miles last week).

Partly but also because I don't like paying the kind of prices that volvo modifications tend to go for.
£40 for lowering springs, £125 for the XC90 big brake kit, £56.50 for leather interior, front splitter for £5 etc etc. Good things come to those who wait and all that wink

The missus actually gave me the thumbs-up for the new downpipe and race cat tho, probably because we can get most of the money back when I weigh the old cat in smile (not saying what I'm paying for the new downpipe but it's REALLY cheap wink )
