Picked up this evening, handled the drive home very well

My first Ovlov, supremely comfortable, and fresh faced at just 123,000 miles!

December 04 V70 D5 manual in dark blue, spotless light part leather interior, 18 inch wheels, appears to have the Four-C suspension too which was a nice surprise!

Almost full volvo/specialist service history (missed 2013)

Looking forward to my commute in tomorrow!

very nice, any more photos, owing to a sick parent I'm doing many more miles in my v70 and seeing a good 50 mpg on the m25 most days, mines a keeper I think

I've had this for a few months now and rather like it

It's an 06 V70 T5 Ocean Race.

As posted earlier, it is not mine (I'm co-driver), but thank you.

It is running Porsche brakes on the front, Ohlins suspension, I'm not sure what else.
We dynoed it a few weeks ago and read 155 kW at the tyres.

It's since had a remap, and will be dynoed on Tues to see what difference that made - it's supposed to be running 18 psi now. I'll post up the results when it's done.

We are leaving for Targa Tamania on friday, with 8 new tyres .

Car 117 if anyone is interested.

[AW111]

My memory of the power was faulty.

Run it last night, remap took it from 147 to 170 kW ATW.
That is stock engine & turbo with lots of miles and just a cold air intake.

I left the dyno charts at work

New Volvo owner here, My much abused and loved Focus met its end at the hands of a white transit. So I had to get a new car. Its a 2003 V40 T4 with 100K on the clock. Annoyingly i cant seem to find a centre section for the front splitter.

S60R I picked up last week to replace my S60 2.4T which is a great car but not as interesting as the R.

[AW111]

Update from down south - we finished 9th in the TSD category in Targa Tasmania in the 850R, and got masses of attention everywhere we went.

If you say you are in a Porsche, people ask "which one?"
If you say "the Volvo wagon", everyone says "I saw that - cool car".

Odometer clicked over 300,000 km half way through the event - and the engine has never been apart.
However, we think the (stock) clutch is on the way out after 6 days of tarmac rallying, and uphill starts are very hard on the tyres too

My Amazon at PH Santa pod. Pic half inched, credit to thingy, thank you.

Crossover d5 manual s60 (work car) + 940 SE (doing work car) = beginning of an addiction

[S10GTA]

Won't post the pics here, but have a thread running on my V70R

Impulse buy new XC60! It's a D5 AWD SE Lux, and we bought it because it was in stock and ready to go before the MOT is up on our faithful 140k miles V70 T5 SE. That's going in for an MOT on Friday to see what needs doing and then it'll either be off to WBAC or possibly tarted up for sale.





Yes that's right, doom blue and a manual gearbox. fk resell values.

Just treated the daily shed to a bit of tlc.. A home wash and quick wax (it normally goes through the £2 car wash )
Still comes up ok if you don't look too closely! 2.4t manual for those interested
