Me and my Volvo

Post by Eurodancer » 10 Feb 2005 11:28 am

Ive had my Volvo 360 GLT now for about a year and a half.

Its a great car, reliable and sticks like glue in turns, though the angle is 30 degrees :o
Havent done much on the looks, tinned the windows and put in some nice cockpit things. But it looks kinda shitty without andy cool bling-bling fenders (I've got the originals :oops: ).

The car has an 2,0 l engine and 115 hp, doesnt go very fast, but the burnouts and turns really counts up for the speed.

Great winter car, it is so light in the rear that i can go sideways all the way though, and the best thing about this car is that it straightens up so easily.

I myself is not the biggest genious on cars and motors, but i try my best, keeping it within the euro-standard.

And at the end I really like boosting up the volum:

Hi there mate.
Its good to see that i`m not the only Norwegian driving a 360. sm4

(Men så var det EU-kontrollen som ikke gikk så bra da..... ene mansjetten, begge framdemperene, og endeleddene på styrestaget )

In two weeks i`m back on the road, and the car is 100% up and running.

Drive fast, Drift Wide!

I've tried my hand at it but to no avail...

The car always rights itself mid-slide!

Ask away and we'll do our best to help out.

Don't worry about the language thing, I mean, your english is much better than my Norwegian. I find it amazing all you guys have such great English, puts us British to shame.
