Hello there!

Is anyone up for a visit to York on the 25th of August....??

Cheers

scan of the ticket:

I was wondering about this also - I've got three 400-series Volvos, only 1 is an S/R model...all have a sunroof. The same question was asked on the 480 forum and the general opinion was the same - S/R = sunroof.

But don't Volvo call it a 'moonroof'??

lol jelly suspension, check! Thanks very much

Like I said that 460 is on eBay if you want it just give me a shout (but don't tell any of the 300-series lads you are defecting to FWD)

edit: forgot to add it is an auto, some people don't like them

lol I wasn't trying to set anyone up there sorry Foggy. Yes got an R but it is AWD so shouldn't have any trouble with taking off. Slower through the gears than the FWD cars so I have heard.

I'm back at work now mate so the nearest I get to Volvos is typing this, so I won't make it to any events for ...

Spotted! Volvo 360 with roof rack/lights and large radio ariel, in Durham last week.

I was driving a black S70 around the roundabout on Gilesgate bank (junction between A181/A690/Gilesgate), too surprised to wave

I'm guessing..........Nimminz??

Thanks gents! Yes I walked away happy although I was thinking about your 15.7 sec run Chris :wink:. I honestly don't think my V70R could do much better that what the 460 managed!

After the 16.04 run I tried one more but bogged it away from the start and thought "that's enough for today" - it was ...

So, I went to down to York last Sunday and managed a 16.04 as my best time...some videos below....

Yep, I was thinking it should reduce the price

That one looks like it has 400-series alloys...? Pollux they are called

no pressure I will be going anyway, even if on my jack, would be nice to get some Volvos along of any sort!

and there shouldn't be any mis-matches of bhp either as they have different classes - for example my 460 would be in category 'T', and Chris' Fake with the F7R motah will be category 'C ...

Hi Niminz, I have added some info on the 480 forum, here it is copied below...

Right, I emailed Chris at York Raceway, and he said he just needs to know numbers a few of weeks before the 26th so can allocate a pitting area.

Prices are as follows, all in pounds sorry no pounds sterling symbol on my ...

Hi folks,

I am trying to organise a meeting at York Raceway on the 26th of May...anybody up for it?

Here is the link to the thread over on the Volvo 480 forum...

Well, we haven't got Disney Land or even Flamingo Land, so got to flaunt our tourist attractions where we can! And it's f*ck ugly also so suited the car well

I hope Fake is up and running Chris, I remember I saw a post about the prop shaft

Hi again folks!

I'm sorry to say that I failed in my attempts to get the back wheels driven as opposed to the front. I called down to Banstead on the way home and the 300-series motor had gone to the dealers son. Good for him, bad for me :(

Plus I missed a nice one on eBay not long before this ...
