    I`m back again still driving the old girl

    Been away for a while. Don't mention Alfas. But instead of taking my boring ish alfa diesel on a run up to Bristol and back we went in my t5 I had a complete blast loved every minute of it. Totally fallen in love with my car again.

    So much fun sounds fab goes really well and with the MBC all set up nice now is a joy on the motorway.

    So I need a new handbrake cable and a throttle cable any ideas on the best place to get them. as you can see stills goes ok.

    cant seem to get my google images up here anymore

    there is a 2mb limit for attachments, maybe they are bigger than that? Or try using a site like Photobucket or similar

    Took mine up to Swindon on Monday, so chavboy can buy an S60 (you'll all see it soon ) and mine got a proper thrashing. It was the first time it's had a prolonged hard drive (200 odd miles) since the last mods went on and I can agree, it was bloody good fun.
    Nice to see you still in yours.

    I always love to drive my C70 T5 or V70 R after using my diesel Alfa. However, over 1,000 miles done this week in the Alfa and at 11p/mile on fuel, 14p/mile goes in my pocket. With the Volvos that would be 5-8p/mile going in my pocket so I can't ignore that saving.
