Hello!

5lab sent me an email about this site, (I use the same mountain biking forum as him). It looks wicked! I have a much abused Volvo 360 which I love, its nice to see others who think the same :)

Its a B reg B200. I got your email as soon as I got back from a drive down some country roads. This car is soooo much fun! Overtakes like a rocket and fun on the twisty stuff :)

Its originally bronze/gold but its been badly touched up. The yellow panel makes it so much better!

Welcome to the forum! The earliest B200s are supposed to be punchier than the later ones....don't ask me why - probably compression! I'm beginning to get to the point where I'm REALLY bored of how slow mine is....even though its actually not that slow at all! Scared a BMW 318 compact yesterday...

cheers
