Hi guys Thought it only proper to introduce myself, Rik. Proud owner of a C70 T5 GT. Turned up at York last weekend and think I may be bitten by the bug! Have to admit I have always been a Ford man in the past, still own a Ford Cougar, but absolutely staggered by how good the C70 is Forums all seem very friendly too, member on VOC. Like the "Performance" bit though.
:welcome: Very nice cars the C70's and you have of course gone for the best engine... why compromise?
Hey Rik - did I meet you at York?? How did your Volvo do on the strip ? :) PS... show us some photos (of your car!!)
Was at York and remember seeing your T5 at the back of the queue for the strip. Didnt get to hurl it down the strip but plan on doing so at Shakespeare Raceway meet {presumably this is what used to be known as Long Marston, just south of Warwick) and meet you all properly. Maybe see Wobbly Dave off lol
Wobbly get 14.6 something, I was only 0.1 behind him... although his is proper quick in 3rd gear.
Hello. Thats right, shakespeare is at long marston airfield. It would be funny to see a standard c70 beat wobblys but he does have a genuine 305bhp and is now starting to (finally) get good times. Still, you never know with dave! lol

Welcome :) i think this is your car..
It was good to meet you. I hope you have fun with the C70. Perhaps we can compare notes at a later date. Where abouts are you based?

Thanks James. It is indeed all mine, have to admit to it being the best drivers car I have owned and the shove in third is addictive

Hello Rik and :welcome: Watch out for Dave he polishes his Volvo just before a run just to get the extra 10/1000 LOL :)
Next time we go to Cadwell Park I will give you a shout. Hopefully beginning of next year.
