Other Volvo love

Post by magnumpi » 15 May 2009 10:19 pm

I was chatting to my mate the other evening, who moved to Sweden last year as he was getting hacked off with this country.

Anyway he told me he had been to a Volvo show over there and sent me some pics.... sadly i can't find them now :?

However as soon as i do i'll put them up here for you to have a gander at, there is some really nice kit out there.
Anyways i've found some from RR's and various other locations and thought i'd pop them on here for you to enjoy.

If i had the room i'd deffinately have a bigger saloon, i.e 240 or 740 Turbo.

Feel free to add your own.

*Edit i've found them, i'll see if he took more :D

Surely cars don't need to be justified, but good choice, i'm starting to really warm to 200's what with two of my mates both getting estates recently. One a GLt, the other a Torslander, which is absolutely mint.

I think it's strange though for such a big car there isn't a huge amount of leg room in the back of them, and i'm not that tall either.

As much as it pains me to say it, I love Ryans 700

For the 3 days a year it works, it goes as well as it looks too.

Others I adore

Im feeling the pull too.
Very expensive for a decent one though,

If I can get a loan, i think i might be having Dai's. :twisted:

It is actually my daily, well actually it was was, as it has bit of rust in it, but rest is solid and original, 83-model with 6-cylinder VW engine.
http://jtbo.pp.fi/images/video/240/puNppu_rikki.wmv You need to click play once and then 2nd time, after that got pump refurbised and it started to act better, same go with tad less smoke.

It is bit cleaner at the moment than in those pics which I took after long drive, wet and dirty roads from autumn to spring.

For VND :wink:

Someone might think that it can't have serious rust problem? :lol:

Image

It has also quite large holes in several places, some I have kind of fixed, some need fixing, but I'm not too sure that it will be back on road, might be better idea to get another one wihtout that big rust problem and make one good from two.
