Red V70 T5 (P2)

[Wobbly Dave]

Headed over to VT this morning to have a quick chat with Hamish and to help with the race car. Saw a lovely bright red V70 T5 (phase 2). Hamish said that it had been in that morning. Hope the lad is one of ours?

Thumbs up were exchanged on the A38 nr Bromsgrove, just after Jnc 2 M42. :rice:

Red - its the only way to go ;)

[Goof]

Black.

[Wobbly Dave]

[Goof]

Nope! Just reporting popular opinion that BLACK is THE best T5 colour... ;)

How many times do people need to be told. Olive Green is the true Volvo colour

---> Olive Green 855 T-5R (http://www.cardwell.co.uk/cars/volvo/myT5-R/Hol%20035.jpg) <---

Everyone thinks it's just a standard 850 then woooossssssshhhh "where did it go"....

[pikeajm]

nope red is the way to go

[Goof]

I suppose if you can't get a black one, the a red or a green one would do?! ;)
(you lot bite so easily!).
:thewave:
:ices_rofl

[Wobbly Dave]

Red ones are faster. Einstein mentioned it in his theory of relativity - namely the "Red Shift"

[rich850t5]

NAH I think you'll find it's metallic purple actually!! :bow_kneel

[Wobbly Dave]

NAH I think you'll find it's metallic purple actually!! :bow_kneel

No I don't think Einstein every mentioned that.

[Andrew]

No I don't think Einstein every mentioned that.

and I don't think his theory has been truley proved has it ? So that would mean your incorrect about big red ;)

[Wobbly Dave]

Yeah but if one is to get pedantic about these things a theory cannot be proved it can only be disproved - as is the nature of scientific hypotheses (sp?).

And look at this

Gravitational red shift. Volvo is a fairly heavy car anyway.

I read the word encyclopedia, yawned, took a swig of beer, chuckled and closed the window.

Wobbly dave strikes again!

That ain't Green that's Blue Turquoise. :hidesbehi

[Goof]

All I know is it's not black!
All these pretty colours are very well, but black just seems to do it! ;)

[fraz13]

That ain't Green that's Blue Turquoise. :hidesbehi

[pyrotechnictigger]

With respect, you are all wrong.

A VOLVO has to be white :haha:

I would have to disagree :argue:

But the only colour is Yellow :finger:

Morning Dave

It was me that you very kindly let out of the junction on sat (thanks by the way :B_thumb: )

I was planning on putting a post up here this morning, but you beat me to it (no internet at home).

I'll hopefully see you at one of the future meets.

Cheers

Matt

[Wobbly Dave]

Cool. I sorta knew it was one of our own. Guy said he saw your motor at VT earlier, when he bobbed into see Hamish.

Beautiful motor you got there mate. Very red. Just the way I like'em! :rice:

You should send me some shots for my BRV site. Let me know next time you are up here.

[Mrsmopp]

You're all bonkers!! :insane: :haha:

[Wobbly Dave]

I find it helps. :insane:

[MattV70]

I've got some photo's being developed at the mo, so i'll send the digi copies to you when i get em. (I've gotta get myself a digi camera)

I'll be back at VT next sat morning so that Hamish can finally fix the knocking suspension that's bugged me practically since i bought it. Can't wait till it's done.

I agree, red is the way forward! Once she's been cleaned up ( :bath: ) it does look good! :jaw:

[lance]

I normally dont buy a car for its colour but I had the choice of a blue auto or a black manual and I went with black manual!
My first car was sh+tty brown more than 1 shade so colour really doesnt bother me price, performance and spec is much more important!

[Mrsmopp]

Sorry boys but red is my pet HATE colour....!

How can u HATE red so much you will hurt poor winnies feelings

[Mrsmopp]

Cos the paintwork really does drive me up the wall :cussing: When it is polished it looks great - but never for long!! Thats the only reason i am thinking of selling her! :rant:

x

[Wobbly Dave]

Just as well she couldn't hear you saying this - she'd slump on her springs - bless.

Matt, I might be tempted to come and say hellp properly next Sat. ;)

[MattV70]

Ah spot on Dave. It'd be good to put a face to at least one of the names on here. I'll be there from 10 till whenever Hamish has finished with it (shouldn't be too long as it's only for a top engine mount and new anti-roll bar drop links).

Maybe see you then.

Did they change the paint slightly from P1 to P2 coz mine doesn't seem to fade off at all! I know what you mean though as my friends 850 looks almost shabby a week after being washed and polished!

[Mrsmopp]

I dont know tbh - i think its more down to age than anything else but either way its crap LOL

[Wobbly Dave]

Fade on red really only starts after 5 years and it depends where you leave it during the summer, how often you treat it and many other factors. Red is the worst for white fade.

It sounds like i've got that joy to come then what with my car being 5 years old now!!! Oh well it's as good a reason as any to wash and polish it every weekend!

[rich850t5]

Here we go again lol its Frost GREEN!!!!!!!!!!! :haha:
It's a lovely colour for a girls car :ices_rofl MAO

[rich850t5]

No I don't think Einstein every mentioned that.Every mentioned that.Well of course he couldn't,Could he? :ices_rofl

[Wobbly Dave]

Rich - you are a funny man!! LOL

Not so. If you do like I do and polish every 3 to 4 weeks with a good quality polish - you can get away with a wash/dry in between. If you use a maintainig car wash with added wax agents it helps to protect the car with minimal effort.

I admit I am a perfectionist which is why I clean her twice a week during the fine weather. It need not be so. You can maintain a healthy shine without the graft and ultimately it will stand you in good stead when you come to sell.

[JUDGENINJA]

YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE COLOUR....

BgLrUeEy

:haha: :worship: :haha:
IT'STHE ONLYWAY TO GET NOTICED

[Wobbly Dave]

Strictly speaking yours aint blue? :haha:

[JUDGENINJA]

most of it's blue.... :haha:

[JUDGENINJA]

Well OK then dirty brown normally....

[racer]

White is THE T5 colour. Certainly if you have an ex-police one like mine!

Why, oh why, indeed how, can birds make such a mess of a white car?

[After_Shock]

C70 has to be black, S60 R has to be black (or can get away with silver, just)

850's I do like in red and for some reason im not that keen on them in Black.
