My naughty secret

[Wobbly Dave]

I wasnt gonna make a big song and dance about her. Trust me when I say she is a real corker. I have had her a week now and I am immensely enjoying the T5 experience again.

She is a late 99 V reg C70 manual - with 55K on the clock. Doesnt have all the toys but she makes up for that in sheer grunt. the ME7 is a real gem on it. I do have the good stereo and the nice BBS rims - but sadly no heated seats or trip. Bodywork is in excellent condition.

I only have a couple of photos - and yes for the eagle eyed the NS headlight wiper is foobared (now fixed).

Got a decent deal for her from a main Vauxhall dealership in Wrexham including decent part chop for the dis-Astra. I got 12 month MOT, a good RAC warranty and 6 months tax. Nice peeps/Good to do business without stressing about if they were dodgy or not. Co-incidentally they also showed me the new folding hardtop astra (a week before the launch)

After 3 or more years of hunting for decent T5 insurance - you'll all be glad to know I have fully comp on this baby.

She drives like a dream and I am very happy. Thanks again to all that looked out for me during the last few months.

Congratulations Dave ;)

Looks like a crackin car :D

Lets hope this 1 will be grounded for ever and never given wings lol

[Wobbly Dave]

I have learnt my lesson and no mistake

[After_Shock]

Well done dave, great news!

Nice to see its already parked outside VT!

[Andrew]

Saw her in the flesh on Tuesday - got to ride in her too - nice puller, excellent bodywork - not a ding to be seen. Wobbly she's going to do you proud.

Well done that man.

Ac..

[Vikingxl]

Nice looking motor Wobbly but you are a very badboy for keeping people waiting lol

[Murphy]

looks mint, love the wheels!

[The Saint]

You kept that quiet mate - pleased for you though, it looks really nice.

Funny having V70 as the first few digits of your plate!!!!

[John]

Nice one Dave, looks well worth the wait, have the boys already worked there magic, or did you just call in VT for a coffee! :B_steerin

[Wobbly Dave]

You kept that quiet mate - pleased for you though, it looks really nice.

Funny having V70 as the first few digits of your plate!!!!Even more bizarre - this is the second time it has happened.

The black one was V70 4 FRE (V70 for free)

[Wobbly Dave]

Nice one Dave, looks well worth the wait, have the boys already worked there magic, or did you just call in VT for a coffee! :B_steerin
I havent had anything done tuning wise. I stuck my old fly ridden ITG back in and put a strut brace on.

Reason I was at VT was to sort out some ABS things.

[BigJC]

Shes a honey, chuffed for you fella and glad you're feelin the T5 luv again!!

[Wobbly Dave]

looks mint, love the wheels!She is very nice. There is no window whistle at high speed.

Forgot to say - the interior is dark grey and has the granite finish inlays.

[racer]

Welcome back to the Fleet, your Imperial Wobblyness.
Very nice looking car Dave. In fact it's so nice looking I recommend you keep the keys out of THE COLLECTOR's sight!

Must be nice getting all that torque back again post Astra. :) :)

[Wobbly Dave]

Have to say that the A5 is one of the best roads to drive home on in yer new motor. Engine is very keen. Ride is fab and the brakes are not too bad either.

[T5ER]

nice 1 mate can i see a lowering kit being fitted to it in the near future lovely motor congrats

[Wobbly Dave]

She will be lowered soon enough. Just toying with replacing the dampers (there is nothing wrong with them) whilst the springs are out.

[Goof]

Nice one Dave, glad you're finally sorted.
Now take it easy - it's a big step up from a diesel Astra! ;)

[T5ER]

cool.Are you bringing her to the avon meet,if so will have a chat with you about this abs ecu repair that your so damn good at mate

[Wobbly Dave]

I am more likely gonna be at Avon. Be interesting to see what she can do as standard.

[pyrotechnictigger]

Nice one Dave, chuffed for you:)

[chriskay]

Happy for you Dave.

[T5ER]

Hi Dave we are so glad you are back into a T5 car ownership again, and this time you are doing it properly ;) hehe,
Lovley colour and are those wheels the rarer 17s and not the 18s?

take it easy in her bud and i know she will be cherished,

Gary,

[Martinr]

Nice one Dave. Now keep it between the white lines:)

[Engineer]

Welcome back Wobbly, proper car in the right colour (me biased :wink: ) looks the nuts mate.

[JUDGENINJA]

[philt6]

stuart

[ripper]

Nice to see you back in OVLOV fleet again Dave.

She looks a very tidy motor..

[01c70t5]

Welcome back in to the club :)

[aeroresh]

Cool, back in the :B_steerin seat!

I take it you have plans for your new steed.... :sinner:

[dicky b t5]

Nice Car Dave, Glad your back with us in Volvo Land...!lol

[Wobbly Dave]

Welcome back in to the club :)Do you have those mats? (one thing that was missing :slap: )


Cheers to all for the thumbs up. The 17" rims are very nice (busy alloys always look good on the coupe)
The modifications will be subtle but important ;)
Just really enjoying the T5 thing again - coz I can legitimately bitch about petrol prices again.

All 4 wheels are staying on the ground

[01c70t5]

Do you have those mats? (one thing that was missing :slap: )

I have those mats, look very nice now they're steamed and inside covering my carpets :remybussi

[Wobbly Dave]

Poo! Looks like I might need a hand from Marshalls.... OLIVER!!! (#shouts#)

[Jaseb77]

Dave, are you BBs rims 17" on your new C70

as I have some spares in the Garage if you need any replacements

3 goods wheels, one wobbly bolts one

although they are in scotland !

[Wobbly Dave]

Yep - they're 17's - the ones that are on there are all in VGC - so I am ok in that respect. Might contemplate a single (as a spare) - but I guess you wouldnt wish to split the set?

[Jaseb77]

They are only taking up space in my shed at the moment,

and nobody seems to want them. so getting shot of single would be Ok

I may keep two as spares to swop if needed for my 18" to get them refurbed

Jase

[fraz13]

And ye might be back up here soon if the meet takes off which a doubt lol

[Wobbly Dave]

I will happily come and take one at the next meeting?

[Jaseb77]

Well next time up in Jock land, I dig one out for you

perhaps at summer meet, if we have one


Jase

[marshall_volvo]

Do you want any mats bringing wobbly? Looks like you could do with a light and grille conversion???!!

Oliver

[Wobbly Dave]

Cheers Oilver - but I have to play it canny till the end of the month - until I have some more money. :cry:

EDIT...
Scrap that - bring them anyway (dark grey) please!

[Engineer]

Dave, of topic but what's happened to the squadron mate why back to SM ?

[Wobbly Dave]

Dave, of topic but what's happened to the squadron mate why back to SM ?
Idea is that my flying days are now over. Old car is finally scrapped - New car is starting out. Drawing a line under it and move on.

[Engineer]

Make you right Dave, so next question what you got planned for the new wheels? No more secrets lol.

[Wobbly Dave]

On a silver car I am not sure - I think the original grill looks fine, but if I turn up at meeting and could tryout the egg-box grill then I might be tempted to change it. I have some plans with the engine but I am keeping that quiet.

[Engineer]

Fair enough on the engine front lol, agree the standard grill looks ok in silver but don't you like those clear lights? Do fancy those myself but just so expensive.......

[Wobbly Dave]

I am happy with my wheels - they stop the car dragging on the ground. Cosmetics will be bottom of the list.

[Engineer]

Get your point about cosmetics and wheels agree, but would love to see an R bumper on the front of a Coupe, especially in silver. MHO only.

[Wobbly Dave]

R bumper for the S70 is a different shape? isnt it kinda more square than the one on the coupe? Plus the front fogs are round on the C70.

[Engineer]

Yeh see previous pic, don't you think it would look mean on the front of a silver coupe? Need someome with photo whatsit to play with a picture.
