Just bought myself my first T5!

[AcidicDavey]

Hey all!

So after selling my gorgeous 480 the other day while lusting after something else, older and simpler I thought.

But no, I've gone the other way and bought a fantastic 2002 C70 T5 Coupé Manual.

The car is superb, it runs and drives absolutely perfectly!

Yes, it has the odd physical issue but nothing major.

I haven't got any pics or any real reason for this thread but just wanted to voice that I'm really happy with what I've gone and bought!

I will set up a Project thread once the car's ready for some nice photos although I don't have many plans yet.

Well done mate, good choice. I like the c70's & you have the right engine!

[merc85]

congrats mate, looking forward to some pics

[Nealevo]

Another hairdresser....... But congratulations on the engine ;)

[AcidicDavey]

Thanks Guys!

I really don't need an Estate (yeah, I know I've got a V70 too but I don't have that because I need it. Plus, that's been sorned for over a year now, poor thing!) being 21 with no commitments so I thought why the hell not go for a C70. Always wanted one if I'm honest.

[merc85]

[MIKESC70T5]

Best looking Volvo of all time in my opinion, loved my manual c70 t5. Loving the contrasting roof.

I agree with merc

[AcidicDavey]

To be honest I really love 850s, the insurance was absolutely stupid for me though and you can't ignore the great value a C70 is!

Some people just don't seem to believe how cheap this car was, such a lot of car for the money!

[Wobbly Dave]

I'll be glad to have someone to race against.

Im not taking anything away from it, it looks a good find, alot straighter than most out there. Manual to ;)

[AndysR]

Smart looking car and the black roof works well.. :)

Merc you really need to get out more ;) lol

[Wobbly Dave]

I thought of doing a C/F wrap on my roof but was told it would look naf.

[AcidicDavey]

Well now you have a good idea how it'd look so...
