My beautiful C70 T5..... For the money, what a car, and it is a Volvo. Please add pics of your cars fellow C70 owners. I do get §§§§ed off when my car is overlooked at meets, cos these really are cracking motors. Frankie, this thread is meant in the nicest possible way.

Thanks to whoever blew my thumbnail up!
Thanks Stribo, I've been waiting for your support. Great pic of a great car.
Thanks Mark, though it's still got a way to go before I'm happy with it.
What have you got planned, or is it on the hush?Quote:

That's some list, and it all takes time, and money..........Quote:

bigger wheels make a big difference on the c70s, as does the R front off the s/v70r.

I've always liked the lines of the C70. My only regret is not buying a dark one again after my accident.
our Frankie needs to have a ride in Mr WD's C70 around the Evo Triangle and he would possibly see things differently, I was impressed by the way that car handles and now it has even more grunt ( not that it seem that short of it in the first place ) turned my thoughts on what is possibly a very underrated car
Somehow I don't think it has anything to do with the power output? However if we do get chance I'd like to go back to the triangle again & show you the upgrades?
ok, is it fair to say the package all works well together and is barnstormingQuote:

the last one was a little make over look see thingy loll. i liked it, not sure most would thou.
I agree that that is a great looking car there Stribo, but i am a little biased. I have had two 850 T5's in the past, but the C70 is a nice change and a really good car to own and drive. Sporty looking coupe with 850 underpinnings, what can be better!Quote:
