Thanked 2,466 Times in 1,996 PostsDoesn't look much like a V70 in that colour, more like an 850. lol
Does look good with the volans on.
If the 850 just has one lambda, how is the race cat gonna work considering the v70 has two?"The problem with internet quotes, is that you don't know if they're real or not" - Abraham Lincoln
