[AndysR]

It's an open invitation to everyone and no one I've come across through this site will judge or criticize you, seriously, regardless of car condition or tune. We all love Volvo's here....Unless they're red in which case some over exaggerate there performance slightly... ;) lol

[LiamT4]

Anyone can come and don't worry about it being standard as mines almost standard anyway.

[Santa]

hi,only recently joined....mind if i pop down in my boringly standard volvo!! give me a chance to dribble over some better ones!!!

If they are letting me come along the attendance criteria cant be that high

[AndysR]

If they are letting me come along the attendance criteria cant be that high

Is there even a criteria in that case...

Oh hang on... something about traffic lights? :)

[Santa]

Is there even a criteria in that case...

If you hit the traffic lights just right...........they will fall over

[M-R-P]

hi,only recently joined....mind if i pop down in my boringly standard volvo!! give me a chance to dribble over some better ones!!!

Don't worry mate, You can park next to my dull, multi-coloured, not-quite-tuned, high mileage ex-plod lump. In a dark corner of the car park where nobody will go cos they're all busy looking at noisy volvos with big, shiny wheels and boost gauges! ;)

[AndysR]

If you hit the traffic lights just right...........they will fall over

.... and being in a Volvo your unlikely to notice :)

[local-looney]

lol.....phew...cheers fella's...didnt want eggs thrown at it!!

Been before on a ford night and the parking is normally a nightmare!!

Brilliant... at least with owning a Volvo you can worry about parking rather than the typical Ford owner who is more concerned about actually arriving!!!

[Jim S70R]

Hoping to come alone myself but i think we'll come down on my bros company car to save worries about parking in a road etc...

[t5steve]

count me in........where and when shall we meet?

[The Flying Moose]

Really? It would be great to see the UK's best kept 854R in full glory outside the Ace Cafe... might even make a magazine cover? ;)

[Wobbly Dave]

I will check with Ellen - but I should be able to make it.

[M-R-P]

Just clayed, polished, waxed, sealed, blacked and buffed the big sweed in readyness...

[smithy]

i will be clean my 940 sat ready for drive down

[Wobbly Dave]

Me too - hope my shiny intake pipe may be ready too?

Just wish I still had some nice 19s to set her off on - grrrr!

[LiamT4]

I won't be coming to this now, the mrs car is having a service this sat, so i need to pay for that.

[AndysR]

Your appreciation is respected as always Emlyn thanks and your right if I decided to bring it along I think it would make front cover......

Perhaps something along the lines of......

" ANPR is ACE " ... as untaxed vehicle uncovered at popular car meet location.... :deal: lol

So unfortunately the little piece of paper in the windscreen is preventing the cars appearance this time I am afraid... I however will still be coming, just in a different car :)

After reading all that all I can say is I never thought I would hear the day that a member of a car enthusiast forum would place "ANPR" and "Ace" in the same sentence!

It will be good to see you nethetheless... is it a BMW this company car?

[AndysR]

Nope... at present I am not sure what I'll be coming down in, but I can assure you it won't be a BMW as that's James's field ;)

[The Flying Moose]

I think you need to give the company repairing James's car an ultimatum... that way you can turn up in a Spangling S70R :)

[AndysR]

No chance of that being done in time and taking it unrepaired with a huge dent in the side...... Oh it would look almost sexual... lol

[Slomo]

looking forward to this :)
What time are people planning to be there?

Slomo

[M-R-P]

I'm gonna try to get there early, in the hope of getting a parking spot. It starts at 9am so I'll be there around 10ish.

[Santa]

I should be coming with maybe missus and daughter in tow. Not fighting for car park spaces though. (Usually have some current/past client I can go and park at lol).

[Slomo]

cool. i am hoping to be there 9.30-10ish :)

Slomo

[The Flying Moose]

Depending on what time I finish work on Sunday morning after nights will depend on my arrival time, if I cant get away early ill be there around 10 but if I do Ill be there for the 9am start to enjoy a good breakfast before you buggers arrive!

[JUDGENINJA]

Yep - Arrival in the morning for a nice fry up.... yum yum.... I'm getting hungry already!!

[M-R-P]

[M-R-P]

Hmmm, been looking about, VPCUK, VOC, T5D5 members will be attending plus all the Saab enthusiasts, most of them will be arriving in AA recovery trucks and you know how much room they take up in a carpark!

Not sure yet... V40 has a dead battery and I just had a play with the V70 in a car park demonstrating lift off over steer. I managed to flip the car into a 180degree spin into a kerb......ouch for a rear wheel,
( but it won't be the 850)

no such thing mate lol

[AndysR]

Was good to catch up with everyone who I already know and nice to meet some people who I didn't helps to put names to faces. This was the first time I've been to the Ace Cafe and I think I'll be going again next year if they hold one, might even leave not taxing the 850 for another month just for the occassion :)

Smithy your car looked excellent despite the dirt, Emlyn thanks for reminding me what an 850 feels like.. albeit for all of 10 feet :)

[T5frankie]

any nice aero t16's?

[LiamT4]

I gotta few shots of the t4, uploading later tonight.

I'v had a ride in that, nippy aint it :biggrin:


I love those blue v70r's, very nice.

[M-R-P]

no such thing mate lol

Well it was a saffy, c70 and it had a r badge om it :) I'm not as good at spotting fakes as you guys ;)

[T5frankie]

they didnt do a c70r which is a shame really

[merc85]

That DAMM T4 looks SICK! damm lol

Well Nice looking Motor

Shame i couldnt go will deffo next year

[smithy]

nice pics there mate you have nice explod there too sounds nice when you was reving it up.my car will be parked up in 2 weeks to put all the other bits on it and my proper engine too.frankie i have your tb for you just need to do manifold and bolt it together and its yours mate,i will pm you when done

[Wobbly Dave]

I am glad you enjoyed it. BTW C70 GT was the top spec C70 so anyone sticking an 'R' after it has issues.

There was also the T5 "collection" which was the rag top's swan song prior to the hard top starting in 2006.

It was a little on the long side for a breakfast & a chat but I enjoyed myself. Good to meet the newer members. I will look forward to seeing some of you at WD40 in February. Which reminds me I must book my own spot.

Frankie you were sorely missed - particularly so about the 198bhp thing. Such a shame.

[M-R-P]

Cheers mate, when you pulled away, you turned a few heads! that's some loud turbo you got there!

[AndysR]

Cheers mate, when you pulled away, you turned a few heads! that's some loud turbo you got there!

Agreed.. I was looking for a T4 powered Sierra Cossie when he drove off lol

[mardell100]

was a good turn out but didn't stay long, I didn't know anyone so had a brief walk around then went after an hour or so, obviously missed out on getting snapped :( and I cleaned the T6 especially haha

[smithy]

thanks lads it always sounds quite when your in it though until on full chat of course ,imagine what it will sound like with the cossie manifold on and running 28 psi instead of 17 at mo should sound mad.

[smithy]

i got there about 1030 i wish i could of seen your t6 mate ,what time did you leave would of been nice to say hi.

[Jim S70R]

Another great meet, nice to see everyone again and always good to meet some new faces too. Smithy your 940 sounded wicked when you left ;)

Was there about the same time, left about 11ish I think :)

[Wobbly Dave]

I got there about quarter to eleven. There was a small issue with a stranded skoda - which the marshalls thought was Swedish??

I don't think I was too kind to the owner despite his ignition issues. I think my precise words were "Wayne (Judgeninja) help me push this ££££box off the car park"

[smithy]

[The Flying Moose]

Nice to catch up again folks.

Good too to finally meet martinrpreachey, Slomo and a few others but to name a few.

Certainly some interesting cars there today and a very tidy few Saabs and 1800 Volvos.

Because its not? Would you put a D5 badge on a 2.0D? if it had the same toys as the D5 and looked the same? To people who know the smallest thing about C70s, they'll think "They didn't make an R version of the C70, try harder next time", to anyone else its just another old ginger Volvo.

Who was it in the Silver C70 who kept gunning it?

[Santa]

I did consider re-badging my R to a D5 before I bought it.....would that be wrong?

It's been done before.. and yes it would be wrong on many levels, be proud to display your colours ;)

That was, indeed, the wobbly one. It was funny, there was a group of stood round Dave's car, we all took a few steps back every time he started it lol. True showman;)

[t5steve]

[M-R-P]

Must admit, I joined in and gave mine a few prodds :)

[abdul]

there was definately something missing at this meet ...............yeah my v70 lol a colour injection

[Slomo]

I was surprised to that i was the only S40 and also no Saffron nor Yellow volvo's there?
:(

[The Flying Moose]

I was deeply supprised I was the only 850R and the only "fast" red car! ;)

Flatout Phil should have attended to boost "R" numbers, and his is red too.

Guilty - but with a 300 mile round trip - I thought why not. Sorry if I upset anyone.


Edit - actually I am not sorry. Seemed the most logical thing to do.

Thats because most of the 850s have been broke or are sat up somewhere not working, not many left on the roads now!

Shocked about the saffy v70s though, usually the most common car at the meets. lol

[viggen]

Actually, that Amazon was quite tastefully done.


Rampant R rabbit pmfsl

[viggen]

Hi i agree that Amazon was very nice!!! just needs an R badge lol
no one moaned about his prancing mouse????
The dacia sandero R is in production gay gold C70 body shell, volvo runnig gear

[M-R-P]

You could argue that the prancing moose isn't trying to make the car into something it's not. Not that I'm that bothered. You could stick bunny ears to a car and somebody will love and others will hate it. It's all a matter of taste. The father in law, who used to own my car always tries to talk me out of upgrades and mods as he still has a soft spot for the car (and rightly so) but with all the work I put in getting it up to scratch, he knows I'm doing it more good than harm and supports me in a roundabout kinda way.

[Wobbly Dave]

I've decided to rebadge Betsy as a C70R-Design GTI M-Power Sport GT. Unfortunately I ran out of space on the rear quarter. ;)

Rampant R Rabbit - LMAO - Viggen you are a genius!

[M-R-P]

c70r-design gti m-power sport gt.

:)

[Wobbly Dave]

Thinking of shortening it to C70 RD GIMP

[M-R-P]

was a good turn out but didn't stay long, I didn't know anyone so had a brief walk around then went after an hour or so, obviously missed out on getting snapped :( and I cleaned the T6 especially haha

I just found one I missed from the first post, there may be more, gotta 2nd memory card to check.

Here ya go!

Hang on i want the only C70R in the world!!!!! push off and find your own letters to add to your motors lol

Long live the modified world of motoring why Drive a basic one?

Oh dear this won't be cheap, bent Rods can cure themselves??? is that a lie or is it true???? i hope i never put it to the test

[Villan]

Hang on i want the only C70R in the world!!!!!

Theres at least 1 more .. chap in Southampton-direction has one - it was at the Southern BKV over the summer. C70R / T5-R / R-Design Convertable!

R-Design stickers on the alloys, R badge on the grille, T5-R badge on the boot, remapped and LPG Converted ... and lots of other toys to go with it.

Badges, engine mods, maps, body kits, they are all after market mods at the end of the day and your trying to turn the car into something it wasn't when it left the factory

A stock car is very unstable and unsafe during high speeds. So I tune cars to be safer. That's my philosophy with car tuning. The faster you go, the safer the car has to be. The car's body kit, suspension and braking all have to work together to create a safe car.

Similar to why i say i need a powerfull car, you can overtake quicker, therefore its safer. ;)

Think you need to read what I wrote again ;-) (I was actually backing you up).

[viggen]

Hi Santa 20 i have re read your post and it still appears to point out i am changing it from stock to modified, and in your words changing it into something it isnt????
I dont think i have got it wrong?????
If you had posted modified is good long live the modifier i would have understood!!!!!
Badge,, brace, ecu, springs, exhausts, its all subjective and we are all individuals


Long live the C70R in gay gold

Well i'm happy

I have just bought a subaru p1 soon to be a subaru p1 R

[M-R-P]

My little boy likes pirates... they're all about the R's (AAARRRRR) ;)

Chill Viggen, nobody's dissin' your brown R-a-like :) I thought it looked quite nice, shame you disappeared before I got chance to say hi or take a pic.
Did you see mine? Bloody haggered shed of a thing, If I put 19" pegs on it, and an R bumper and a 19T with a remap, It will be a better car, but not original and could be deemed as trying to be something it's not by some and loved by others (mainly me:)) Everybody will have their opinion, some will voice that opinion more diplomatically than others but we all have a common interest - big, fast, Swedish cars that aren't Saabs.

I'm all for modifying obviously, and if someone wants to stick an R badge on a car that didn't have one from factory or if someone wants to change to a GT3076 turbo that also wasn't from factory I don't see an issue or to be honest a difference, its all about customisation.

I find it funny that for some think its acceptable to change everything on a car as long as you don't stick on an R badge yet Volvo themselves stick an R badge across there whole model range whether the cars T6 or D2 powered.

Anyway Rob, we met and did I come across as a person that would have an issue with a modified car?

[t5steve]

not yet......am changing ecu's tomorrow night to try and cure my tickover problem first
