Nice looking car mate, gonna have to get me a set of those Peg's for my car.

Pegs are a lot over here :slap: Heh.
My bad on getting the forum "title" wrong, I just put Volvo T5 together and got VT5, silly me :nutkick:
Post 15847 by Justin on 2005-04-18 00:02:51
No worries mate, pegs new from the dealers are about £2500 GBP here :(
Post 15848 by '95R on 2005-04-18 00:07:02
1,740.00 USD = 918.900 GBP
That's what I paid for mine NEW from the dealer, with tires... I don't feel like I spent as much anymore when you guys are dishing out 2.5x that much :( We could get a nice business going, shipping wheels overseas. Shipping < European dealership prices :haha:

Think I'll move to the States, I feel sick......
I 've been saying that for years, I was born and bred here, but I am ashamed of this "RIP OFF" Britain. This country is a pile of dog poo and i'm sick of it. I'm getting out the first chance I can. But cos everything here is so expensive I am finding it difficult to save up for my emigration. :slap:
Plus have you seen the price of Petrol, it is like 95p per litre for some optimax now and pushing 90p for regular unleaded. It is beyond a joke.
TIME FOR ANOTHER FUEL PROTEST!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldnt agree more mate, I'd love to get outta here, but unfortunatley my wife doesnt share my enthusiasm for a different country :slap:
Dont bother saving for it either, just bite the bullet, sell up, move out and then see how much you'll be better off...
Anyone want my wife?? LOL

Glad you found the time to find us. Enjoy!

1st things 1st... 850R Front Bumper + fogs, ECU reflash, Exhaust, then possibly an 850R Rear Spoiler/Wing.
Post 16280 by Mrsmopp on 2005-04-20 11:18:00
Ahhh I see!! Prioritisation! :B_thumb: We are lucky enough to have a member who makes replica R front bumpers for around half of the price the dealers want for them!!

Must say your car looks very great, have you uprated the headlights???
They look so sweet

Hi mate, sorry to hear about your accident , i had my V70 writ off on April 23rd 2004. I was gutted too. Good luck in your search for a new motor. :B_steerin
Post 17596 by Wobbly Dave on 2005-04-27 01:13:51
Truly a sad end - I am gutted for you. But as you rightly state - the car did its job. I hate to have seen how little left of the other one there was.
Most of the parts will be salvageable. Have you considered buying it back off the insurance peeps? Be a shame to give'em those rims?
Post 17606 by Justin on 2005-04-27 08:23:36
I am truly gutted at the sight of your car, a sobering thought to all of us, it can be all over in 100 feet :)
Chin up mate, good luck with the hunt for an R
Post 17610 by Mrsmopp on 2005-04-27 09:03:40
Oh No!!! :worried: Such a stunning car and what a sad end..... :sick:
Make sure you get those wheels back from the Insurers tho!! Keep us updated on your search for an R!

OMG!!!! What a waste :cry:
Glad yer ok tho, good luck in the search for a replacement, hope you get another good one :wink:

That is a real shame.
Is it only me who finds the label on the battery a touch ironic?

I spotted that, "welcome to the party pal"
And here are the Volans on the car:
My car is about 1/2 way done with my "current" list of mods to do, but I keep managing to add to it slowly :) Anyways, here I am!
And no, I do not work at Boeing, in fact, I am still in high school.
Now my search for a yellow T5-R has begun. I am just waiting to get my insurance settlement check, then I will find a good R.
Anyways, just wanted to share my misfortune with all of you.
