Red 1's are ganging up, green 1's are chasing the red 1's. So, who's got a grey 1?
ME......

Have either of you guys noticed how different the grey can look depending on the light conditions...?

[The Flying Moose]

Mine is certainly not an R, but its the best colour and here is a pic as an R wannabe with Volans fitted... ;)

grey is the colour of subtle stealth without being totally stealth, its also a nice twist as stated, they look different in changing light.

Saffron is the colour of frustrated hairdressers. lmao.

its a fine line between comical brilliance & a pi55 taking bas****d, tbh i think i'm the wrong side of that line lol

[Vikingxl]

I never took much notice of the grey ones but have to say all the cars here look great and loads better than gay gold

[fyldetowbars]

Didn't Frankie have one and bend a rod in it?

[Ettienne]

Yep running the tim Williams map meant for a different turbo, so over boosted or something like it.

Here's the ad. Bodywork is very straight, interior is mint and the engine purrs! Need to refurb the wheels, machine polish the paint and dye the bumpers then she will be spot on. Full Volvo history to 155k too. I'm pretty chuffed tbh.

edit: gearnob has to go and the 850 badge reinstated on the tailgate lol

very nice, but what's happening with the blue one??

[mitchyboy01]

Blue one has gone mate sadly. I was having to use it as a daily and it was fully stripped! Guy who bought it had a V40 race car and said my daily runner was better specced than his race car! It was a well sorted car. I got stuck with trying to find someone to custom map it for my new turbo as well. I think the new owner is going to go full standalone. I just couldn't justify the money.

The 850 is much better to live with on the school run. It even has a radio and carpet! Speed bumps....no problem. Bliss! Lol

Ah shame I liked that one, know what you mean though rock hard suspension & crappy roads can really put you off a car. Esp with no carpet & sound proofing!

The R's take some beating as a quick car that is usable every day/for long journeys.

[T5frankie]

Yeah 3 yrs ago lol

i had one a couple of months ago too
