my trip to demon tweeks

Looks pretty real to me but then I have absolutely no idea what I'm on about

Volvo 850 BTCC Estate 1 by AcidicDavey, on Flickr

Makes sense.

How could Rydell and Lammers drive the car at the same time?!

Wasn't it a real touring car? Was it a promotion tool?

personally, i don't think it was even a promotional car. I think its just a road car that someone's made into a replica, it had even still got the sound deadening panels stuck to the inner rear quarter panels (that defo wouldn't of been on the real BTCC car)

the part that annoyed me is the fact that when the car first came to light everyone was convinced it was real as it was confirmed to be a genuine by the Volvo enthusiast club, which with a bit of digging you find out the club to be founded/run by the cars owner

It didn't look that genuine to me, but the single bolt axles and wheels are a very realistic touch ....

I've seen loads of promotion cars in the past. My dad has worked for Toyota for 25 years & these used to be regular things around the pr side of things. They were often road cars stickered up with no engines or boxes. Not sure on the sound deadening. When your 15 you don't really notice things like that.
The Tweeks 854 is the real deal. They may have an ecu for it & may be used next year.
