98 V70 AWD - The Volvo with a Twist :)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.

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.
