My (new to me) Volvo V70 T5

[Mr Pies]

Picked it up last week, needed a few bits doing to it but it's mostly all sorted now.
I was driving an Audi with 130k on it which felt good to drive, but this thing even with 140k on the clock is un real, I love it.

Plus I can get all my fishing stuff and hopefully my new dog in it with ease!

Plans for it, well I'd like an exhaust, air filter, boost gauge, manual boost controller, atmospheric dump valve and a Rica map.

Here is victor...

Very smart. You'll enjoy blowing the hordes of sales reps in 320d's and A4 TDI's into the weeds with this one!

Good buy, Big "thirsty" volvos are going for peanuts at the moment.

I'm going for a C70 T5 or 2.4 Turbo as a tow car next month a really nice one can be had for circa 2K.

Good buy there.

Love it, Manual or Auto?

We tracked one down for my GF's dad a couple of years ago, it did look as good as yours but not so much now I think its on 130k

I hope to own it one day and fix it up or if its too far gone strip it out!

Love that colour! Mine is a manual.

I only do about 60 miles per week, so I am hoping not to notice the rubbish mpg too much

Bloody superb cars these

enjoy

Manual is good, The 'Pink' one is also - no idea of proper colour!

I think they do low 20's MPG? No idea really.

Brilliant!

I got an 850 T5 a few weeks ago. They are fantastic cars.

Mine has a rather large exhaust which sounds superb.
